Well, I tried to get Rap back to reality.
Anyway, I can see lots of things working - like the mortgage bailout. (I wonder how AnthonyT is doing ?) It's what should have been done in the first place. If there were a half a billion outstanding in toxic loans, the loans could have been cleaned-up, and the entire crisis averted, for mere pennies (comparatively speaking).
Anyway, I have to go. Please keep this up top.

Also, the whole "economy on fire" fiasco (from your viewpoint).
It wasn't a 'viewpoint'. It was a tangible, verifyable fact.
As for the U.N. resolutions,678, 687 and 1441 you have READ them,to know what they actually say. I posted, many times, the various quotes pertaining to the 3 main resolutions ,and how they were interconnected. But just as you're trying to rewrite history on the Iraq war, you're also trying to rewrite history on the economy. I'll not waste my time arguing this stuff again. You chose to blame Bush for something the Democrats are mostly responsible for, and I have no time or interest in dealing w/ you young Earth Creationist types.

A concern of the GOP is that the people aren't informed enough to understand their policies, while a fear of the Dems is that the people WILL understand.

Bernanke looks SCARED TO DEATH TODAY in his press CONference. Sounded like he was going to CRY.
NOT inspiring confidence with his tone of voice, as the stock market hits a new low.
The media mafia was laughing hard and loud (to brainwash the sheeple?), which I've never heard the mdo before (creepy), but I couldn't tell if they were laughing with him (he never laughed) or at him. Sounded just like the British House of Commons, with their overly loud fake laughter, while supposedly fighting with each other.
Idiot/corrupt MM kept asking him "should we nationalize the banks" (plural), which really made him nervous, since the "Federal" Reserve Bank is the only private bank we need to nationalize to cure all our problems. That question is verboten, unless the journalist wants to have an "accident" on the drive/flight home.
Crash and burn, then hang the rich. Bernanke's got $800-million in his personal bank account. Or he did before Bush's $8-Trillion Bankster Bailout Bill.
Bernanke is the Jew on the left

Let's make this simple: UN resolutions supersede (It means "replace") each other, a point on which both Blair and Bush agreed. So the only resolution to consider is the last one: 1441. While 1441 cites the other resolutions, it does so only in order to dismiss them. Now read 1441 carefully, and show me the part where it authorizes an invasion without quoting any previous resolutions I double dog dare ya! But I'll bet you can't!

Most of these attempts to regulate never even made it out of committee!
Hate to break it to you, but there are hundreds of bills that never make it out of committee. Usually they die there because they're so asinine or one-sided that no one will get behind them; they lack broad support on EITHER side of the aisle, so they get shuffled off to committee, then they're forgotten about.

Too much borrowing by the public and a banking system which was all but forced into accepting applications from unsuitable lendees because a bleeding heart policy which got its start w/ the Carter administration and only grew and grew over the years, because that's what happens in BIG GOVERNMENT ?

Since the majority party has the majority vote in each committee, it means there weren't enough REPUBLICANS willing to vote it out of committee.
ETA: BTW- Oxley (R) was chair of the committee.
So, in other words, it wasn't Barney Frank, because he never even got to vote on it?
AuLapdog says the Dems blocked it, but fails to show WHERE or HOW they did so. There was no filibuster that he can point to, no vote, just that the bill died in committee- in a committee run by Republicans, chaired by a Republican, with a clear Republican majority.
In other words, THE REPUBLICANS BLOCKED THEIR OWN BILL!
