Maria, your ultra republican attitude is a bit too much... I am republican (kind of ...) myself, but, common...

What is ultra-republican? I'm just reading WSJ everyday, and their economists, journalists, editors analyze this pathetic presidency and come to the conclusion that so far he did only harm to the economy.

The editors do not support anything that can damage America.
Be it Obama, or liberal republicans. The latter getting hit the hardest.
But it's actually a very balanced NEWS paper. Most stories there are unbiased. And the opinion page publishes equal amount of conservative and liberal opinions.

WSJ is as balanced as New York Times... The first "stimulus" package was passed by Bush Administration (TARP), not by Obama in February..
I know at least two people who lost a almost everything these days. But, thanks god, nobody ended up killing himself. Losing what you have hurts a lot....

I wonder if you are doing ok, becuase people who are ok and read the WSJ, that doesn't twist the facts and plagiarize, would know that Stimulus is NOT TARP...I hope you didn't lose everything...:-|

what the fuck is wrong with you, people?
вопрос был про индивидуумов которые серьезно пострадали от кризиса а не то то какие вы начитанные.

а мы на какой вопрос хотим на тот и отвечаем :-P
вопрос выл о кризисе, вот и ответили, что кризис был сильно приувеличен администрацией, чтобы провести свой стимулус...:-|

Last year one of my friends ( and former -from long time back- BF), a brilliant mathematician, worked at Google, suffered a stroke. He was on the vent for 4 month, 3 brain surgeries, still can't talk, cant eat, in a wheelchair..... Another good real old friend who had kidney cancer dot mets in his bones and brain... doesn't want any more treatment..... How does losing money compare with losing your health, your ability to move? - and I am talking here about people in their early fifties.....

то есть кризиса нет? банки не падают как какашки в туалет?
40% всей ипотеки не below water? единственное почему у нас сейчас вообще остались банки это потому что им разрешили to cook the books and not mark to market.
а без банков развалилось бы наверное 70% всех компаний которые не могут жить без кредитов..

hm.. how does losing your money compare to not losing your money... everything else being equal.
what do sad stories about peoples health have to do with it?
