There used to be a time when major industries were regulated (i.e. telephone, natural gas, electricity, ... things that an average person would somewhat rely on to basically function from day to day). Deregulating alot of them provided for many benefits (i.e. competition). Problem: somewhere along the way, unchecked capitalism became predatory. Greed took over, and people whom you would expect to benefit were blown to the waste side. American workers are getting laid off and their lives ruined while companies are free to hire foreign work from one source or another.

I'm all for free market, but I would hope that the companies that have this freedom would exercise some social responsibility by supporting their country with employment opportunities.
I remember when Dubbya got on TV and talked about all the job outsourcing. He said that there would be more advanced opportunities available, but we would have to get trained for them. This was more bologna from our favorite leader.
Some regulation so that people can get traction and start living again - GOOD
Restricting pay, regulating companies into oblivion, repeatedly fixing with cash infusions - BAD-

Deregulation has affected more than our commerce, look at the devastation to our health industry. Now that the FDA safety standards are so lax, we have contaminated meds, contaminated food, contaminated water, etc. Quality health care has been replaced by greedy HMO's who put people's lives at risk in order to save a buck.

I think the problem is a FREE market being confused with a FAIR market. I think almost every American really wants a FAIR market vs. a FREE market. I prefer a FAIR market. That means I expect any store to sell me the same gallon or the same pound. I want someone to make sure someone isn't putting water in the gas tank or horsemeat in my ground beef.

"I hope Obama fails at changing us into a Marxist Nation."
Reply
Judging from all the negatives you received for that post, I'd say the Dems obviously disagree with you. So, that would mean they are all for a Marxist Nation. What else could their negative reaction mean? Looks to me that the Dems will blindly follow Obama's plans and ideas to the end. They will have no criticisms and will ask no questions of anything Obama says or does, just go along with anything and everything. I think that's called a CULT. In fact, us conservatives here will be trashed to death if we even think to say anything negative about Obama. The left will simply refuse anyone to have an opinion that differs from their own. Kinda sick isn't!-

No, from what we see you are still defending the fools that put us in this mess...Go away and read a book on swtimming, maybe you'll learn something there, because you obviously don't understand what we're saying..

You are a distorting apologist and therefor as useless as ever..
Go ask Rush to bend over so you can kiss his ass..
You've already exposed your idiocy 3 days into the administration and you picked the wrong side again!

Obama has already nominated a man that didn't pay taxes and all he can say is "I'm sorry".
Reply
Obama has a lawyer working for him who's client was Fidel Castro's brother.
Obama supported the biggest bailout in history when almost everyone knew that this was a bailout of bush's buddies. Seems that some of them were obama's buddies too i.e. Fannie Mae.
Obama wants to close Guantanamo and bring terrorists here to American soil. WTF!! Why?
Is this what you want from Obama's policy's?

Have you even looked around??

have you gone outside to see the real world..
Geitner has been acclaimed as having amongst the greatest financial brains available to help get US out of this mess..Are you so stubborn and mean spirited to deny America such an asset,
just to appease your personal satisfaction..Hey, i heard he put his dog to sleep 2 years ago..HE's A DOG KILLER!!!
(the dog was 15 years old).... You just don't seem to see things in America's best interest while you encourage the entertainers to make more money and rile you up.
You are a prototypical Rush/Sean groupie.
The lawyer has had over 6,000 clients and Fidel Castro's brother
has the right to legal council too, doesn't he?
The "bailout" is in its 2nd year of disaster and Obama has been in office for 3 days.>This is Bush's desperate bailout and NOT the one he and Paulson called for with NO STRINGS attached..
There are 400 prisoners in Guantanamo, many of whom are wrongfully imprisoned..
Oh my God, as many as 250 bad guys are going to be on American soil in American prisons..
Quick..Head for the hills!!!!!
Your "points" are pointless>>

Let me ask you some simple questions regarding George bush:
Reply
Would you want Bush's policy on torture to fail? Obviously you did since you were against it.
Would you have like George Bush's policy on wiretapping without warrant to fail? Obviously you did since you were against it.
Would you like George Bush's policy's on the environment to fail? Obviously you did since you were against that too.
See here we have the Libs. that for eight years wanted EVERYTHING that Bush did to fail. We heard it on the news. We heard it on propeller and we heard it from the Olbermann's of the world.
But say one thing about Obama and the Libs. go crazy.
I heard Rush's comments. He isn't happy that you Libs. would want to bring Terrorists here and spend billions of dollars creating a new facility to house them. Obviously we can't house them in regular prisons so we are forced to spend more money on another Prison instead of just leaving them in Guantanamo. Get it. Ya Rush wants this p[olicy to fail so we don't have terrorists in America.
What I don't get is the Liberal mentality. The terrorists had no problem ramming planes into thousands of AMericans, yet, we don't have the backbone to keep them locked up in cages where they belong. Soon they will be watching TV and working out just like here in America. These people aren't even part of the Geneva convention since that is for uniformed troops only. Yet the Libs. want to treat them like they are. WHY?-

Have you been walking through your life full of bliss?

Here in America we utilize a concept known as jurisprudence - people cant be locked up indefinitely until they are PROVEN to be guilty of something.
Unless, of course, you believe in fascism and or totalitarianism.-

I take it that you agree with my first statements. You like the other Libs. wanted Bush's policy's to fail and there is no difference in what Rush is saying about Obama.
