McCain/ Boehner Plan: More Supply Side Laissez Faire Bullshit

[PA Democrat]

Hardball reported that Boehner pulled a plan out at the meeting with Bush proposing that they bailout Wall Street by attracting private investment rather than using taxpayer money. How do they propose to attract the necessary hundreds of billions?

Lower corporate tax rates
Eliminate regulations
Reduce accounting requirements

That sounds like a sure fire plan for success doesn't it folks? :eyes:

1. Seriously? If McCain comes out with this plan his campaign is over.

No doubts about it. That is nuts.

[PA Democrat]

4. The commentary by the Hardball panel was that the Repubs

couldn't explain how it would work.

13. Well you shake some of the magic tax cuts over the vodoo fire..

And then have that crazy preacher guy come by to make sure there ain't no witches in there, stand on one foot while spinning around and around until you fall over...

That's how it works...

[PA Democrat]

14. LOL. Voodoo economics...they're baaaack!

3. Hair of the dog that bit ya?

[PA Democrat]

7. Seriously. They are addicted to tax cuts for the wealthy and deregulation.

They need an intervention.

5. we need an ad

with clips of McCain saying he is the biggest deregulator and one saying he is the biggest free trader in Washington, and then one of him saying "lack of oversight " caused this... and then a pic of his current let the people eat cake proposal

6. Expand the "rules" and "laws" that allowed this to happen in the first place.

BRILLIANT!!!

8. Let's publicize the brilliant McLame solution-- Deregulate !

That's like his idea about foreign policy, Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran... heh heh heh.

That's what the screwed up market needs-- LESS REGULATIONS !
Yeah, baby ! Go for broke, you darling gambler, you.

[PA Democrat]

9. Dodd said that the Republican plan was never mentioned or

brought up during the days of negotiations taking place in congress.

10. I missed the announcement

that today is opposite day. That sounds to me like the opposite of what we need to do.

I don't care if they get private money to take over the failing companies, but I'm shocked that anyone thinks they can sell those ideas to the American public.

11. I wish I thought you were joking

[anonymous171]

12. lol They actually think that this will help? More deregulation?

I would laugh if it wasn't so sad.
