Conservative history:
Never let liberals forget that the sub-prime mortgage disaster was Bill Clinton's fault. In 1995 President Clinton's changes to the Community Reinvestment Act enabled ACORN to run a politically correct extortion campaign against mortgage lenders, compelling them by force of law to make unsound (sub-prime) loans to poor minorities who never stood a hope of repaying them.

In Connecticut, Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy enacted the largest tax increase in state history this year, and the state's unemployment rate of 9.1 percent is among the highest in the nation.
Education Should Be Free According to The Folks At Occupy WALL STREET. So, Good Luck finding a professor willing to work for Free, with a supply of Free books and a Free building with Free utilities and Free maintenance and Free security. I suppose they will need Free transportation and Free clothes and Free food and Free lodging and a Free computer with Free internet and Free printing on Free paper with Free ink?
ReplyDeleteOr they could work for it I guess. If they can't find a job, move to outside of the White House and protest their failed economic policies, and vote them out in 2012. These are professional protestors, the one and only Free profession they likely will ever have?
The "Occupy Wall Street" movement and its offshoots in a growing number of American cities, including Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport suffer from decentralization and an excess of messages. If it is to succeed, the movement ought to consolidate and sharpen its focus — by going to Washington D.C and "Occupy Federal Reserve- THE FED".
ReplyDeleteNot that "Occupy" is without substance. The protests are as authentic an expression of discontent with the status quo — war, unemployment and corporate greed, among a great variety of causes — as were the Tea Party demonstrations against big government of two summers ago. The difference between then and now, of course, seems to be the political orientation of the college uneducated protesters and their 13 DEMANDS?
why don't we simply stop paying our college professors their $150,000 salaries and make the positions volunteer?
ReplyDeletethat should make for a good education!
And now we also have the reverse mortgage where over the past few years seniors have pulled out the equity on their homes with no hope of ever re-paying it and the homes are now worth half of what they received! When they pass on their children simply turn the keys back over to the bank.
ReplyDeleteThe working people in this country are trying to pay for all of societies problems.
