Pelley: In 1999 you were one of the senators who helped pass deregulation of Wall Street. Do you regret that now?

McCain: No, I think the deregulation was probably helpful to the growth of our economy.

Wow.

1. This Tard didn't even know what the term "Ponzi Scheme",
meant until some campaign advisor probably told him about it recently. This fucker is so utterly vapid, whenever he walks into a room, all of the air goes rushing into the empty void in his skull. I can't stand John McCain. He's the worst thing that could ever happen to this country, short of being nuked into oblivion, which is most likely what will happen if he gets into the Whitehouse.

2. Talking about "Ponzi Scheme"...
(from Wikipedia)
"A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that involves promising or paying abnormally high returns ("profits") to investors out of the money paid in by subsequent investors, rather than from net revenues generated by any real business. It is named after Charles Ponzi."

I think this bail-out is also a FRAUDULENT "investment operation", which may not promise high returns, but to fend off "worse" from happening.
How on earth do you keep the Economy "healthy" if you sustain unviable enterprises?!?!?

I shall call his "economics" the "McCain Scheme"...

I'm so upset.

3. If this isn't the nail in his coffin I don't know what is.
This bailout will ONLY help the banks - not one average citizen.
How (like Bush) is this man allowed to speak?
