Bush On TARP: I Couldn't Have Lived With Myself If Country Suffered Second Depression

"I won't argue that healthcare reform was everything I dreamed of. But the things that it did accomplish are wonderful. Yes we didn't get the brass ring, but change can take generations. I tend to agree that completely scrapping the existing private system in place of a public system would be too much for the system to handle in one fell swoop. The journey of a 1000 miles begins with a single step and over the last two years we've moved leaps and bounds."

You absolutely, positively, don't know what the h3ll you're talking about.

What Obama did was preserve the crooked system of the insurance industry as the gatekeeper to medical care.  That is the problem that is keeping medical treatment from being affordable, and universal for all citizens.

Now if you had listened to, watched those links, you would know why that's so.  But you are stuck in believing something that is NOT in your interest whatsoever.  Unless, of course, you're in the insurance/PhRma industries or a political operative paid to spread disinformation, in which case your comments are in your immediate (as in now, this week's paycheck) interest, but not in your health's interest.

You're spouting the White House's talking points list (auto industry, banking industry, etc.), and the real joke is that with the exception of extending SCHIP, everything else on your list was a bamboozle.  


The finance reform legislation wouldn't have prevented the economic meltdown and does nothing to prevent future ones.  It's abzurd that you believe the rhetoric.  It only tells me that you don't know what's in the legislation and you don't know it's already been debunked a hundred different ways.  It's why the Democrats did not run on accomplishments -- They really don't have any.

The first time homebuyers' tax credit is a joke because the banks aren't lending money !   For a short period of time, it gave the false notion that the economy had rebounded, but the very few who were able to get home loans did and the banks shut down lending, the economy dipped some more.  

The cash-for-clunkers was a dismal failure!  The cars that customers purchased after dropping off their clunkers were FOREIGN cars.  It spurred other countries' economies, not ours.  And the clunker part of the program?  It sent the used car business into a nose dive.  Those clunkers would have normally been purchased for their inventory for resale.

Are you starting to comprehend that you don't know what you're talking about?
