Мишка, проблемы не начались после 9/11. Просто это событие их немного подстегнуло. вот и все. *(K)

I only wish that Bush and the rest of republicans stuck to their guns and ACTED as republicans on the spending side of the ledger. Instead they spend tax money like drunken sailors (or liberal democrats) and have no one else, but themselves to blame for massive defeats (in 2006 and 2008).

"government interventions into banking, insurance and healthcare sectors were necessary evils. Did you think it was better to allow the banks to fail?"
WRONG!!!
Government policies of telling banks whom to lend money and under what terms (see "Community Reinvestment Act" of 1997) are primarily responsible for the mess we have today with sub-prime mortgage and mortage backed securities. Banks and insurance companies are at fault as well for purchasing these securities, but the government action was the "root cause". Government needs to get out of the business of telling banks who to lend money. Once banks were settled with this bad debt they had no choice, but to offload it to institutions like Fannie May and Freddi Mack.

Mixail, vse chto ya xochy skazat' - eto chto 9/11 zdes' ne prichem. Razbili neskol'ko zdanei - eto znachit chto dolzhna bila vsya economy poletet'?

"Community Reinvestment Act" of 1997 activly pushed by Biden and Clinton, forcing banks into lending money to unqualified borrowers (guess who).................. e rezultat na litso

"Once banks were settled with this bad debt they had no choice, but to offload it to institutions like Fannie May and Freddi Mack."
Natan, what do you mean they had no choice?

Vi che Lina Ahreneli? razbili neskolko zdaniy? vi otdaete sebe otchet v tom chto vi shas skazali?

"Unions have been around in this country for decades - so why are you putting this on Obama?"
True, unions comprise about 7% of private and about 40% of government employees (overall number is about 13%), but under the new law proposed in Congress and supported by Obama unions will be able to organize and recruit members under the "open ballot", not "secret ballot". In other words unions will know how each worker voted - for or against. This is a clear invitation to union thuggery and intimidation. Read your history about union movement in the America in the 20-s and 30-s of last century and how the Mob participated in it.

Лина, вы понимаете сами, что сейчас написали?!
В этих "нескольких зданиях" погибли люди...
9/11 был толчком к "полету" экономики...а начались проблемы еще при вашем дерьмократе Клинтоне
