What has gone on for the last 40+ years is only major improvement in race relations that goes along with the major decrease in racism. -- bill-o

IOW it was written by a Democrat. Aren't you the one professing a need for objectivity? Unless it fits your biases I guess. -- bill-o

The Federal Government has intervened in two and only two recessions: this one and the Great Depression. See a pattern? -- bill-o

As usual you show a less than stellar grasp on basic economics. Nothing that was done, with the exception of easing the liquidity problems of late 09-early10 has done anything to keep us out of a depression. And much of what was done was a wash at best. The single worst aspect of all this "action" is that it has made businesses gun shy. They don't want to invest or hire when the loonies in DC could change the rules again in midstream. -- bill-o |
