Economics isn't rocket science Neither is rocket science, once you know how it works. Bert was trying to argue that the country is in worse shape than it would have been if Bush and Obama had not bailed out the banking industry. This, quite obviously, is a complicated subject. While I guess the certainty you and Bert share is nice, it's not the same thing as knowing the truth.

Genghis Kahn was able to bring peace to the Mongols by uniting them into a great war machine and conquering others instead. That peace has lasted, but those conquered and killed suffered greatly. And his descendents in places such as Afghanistan can be seen suffering in the novel "The Kite Runner". Still, he did not talk foreign countries into anything, it was his big stick that he used. -- "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found, than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." - James Madison |
