re: Mike Moroney
Bear Stearns engaged in fraud. I see where James Cayne just cashed in for $61 mil and Bear Stearns is being "bought out by JPMorgan Chase in a government-led bailout". It's not clear to me why the marketplace should convict good-faith employees and shareholders. When government bails out Wall Street and big business, it's just partnering, or creating job incentives or stimulating the economy. But when government helps working class citizens, well that's SOCIALISM!!!
Like most republicants, Moroney makes stuff up. FDR was the most successful president of the twentieth century. He put the country back to work. He restored dignity to working men and women and inspired hope for a better future in an entire nation. For decades and spanning generations his image appeared in homes all across America. Unlike the Stalin-esque winger campaigns to shotgun Reagan's image to the commons, a grateful nation voluntarily placed FDR's picture prominently in it's homes out of reverence.
By any objective standard, George W. Bush is the worst president in modern history and easily contends for the most failed of all time. Under Bush, a rising tide lifts all yachts. 8.5 million more uninsured, 5 million added to poverty, median income down, trade deficit doubled, dollar strength tanking, dependency on foreign oil up 8%, gas tripled, anemic job growth, national debt doubled, college tuition near double, personal saving rate in negative. Even Mort Zuckerman scoffs at the Bush stimulus. And ROW hates us, with even Britain approaching majority unfavorable.
But Moroney is a republicant. Can't tell the truth, can't obey the law, can't govern.
