obama is proving his turdness with this "financial crisis" - business as usual.
You don't think there's a crisis, or you don't like his response to it?
i certainly don't like his response, its a freaking joke. as marty writes, the shitslide has been going on for some time now, this is just a last minute cash grab for bush cronies. i don't think this is anything dire that needs immediate attention - especially the half-assed attention it is being given. the fact that all of a sudden there is a rush to hand-out 700 funcking billion dollars is nonsense. i side with Naomi Klein's "
Shock Doctrine" thinking - create a (sense of) catastrophe and the powerful can rewrite the rules, grab more cash, and shore up their power. is there an economic problem in the U.S. and globally? of course, but these "spook jobs" are the means that amplify and perpetuate the problems.
