Dylan Ratigan Says That We All Benefited From The Deregulation
Edited on Sat Sep-20-08 02:28 PM by lligrd
but now we have to pay for it. I beg to differ Forbes, I didn't benefit at all and I don't want to pay for it. I purchased my house the old fashioned way with a fixed mortgage I could afford and haven't used any other credit for the last 12 years.

Edit: Thought it was Forbes but it was Ratigan - Sorry

1. No, only a very few benefitted...
yet all of us will be suffering, including our posterity down to the 5th or 6th generation, while they tax us to death to bail these rich fuckers out of a mess they created.

4. Who is everybody, Forbes? You and a your ultra-rich cronies? It sure as hell wasn't
me or my family, or any of the other working slobs who live in my neighborhood...most of whom rent from slum lords, have shitty jobs, no healthcare and no savings.

Fuck off, Forbes.

5. He speaks for himself
Not for me.

Then again, he believes that he and his friends are the sole support system of the US; all good comes from the upper class.

10. Fuck that! Deregulated electricity in Texas costs more than in any other state! It's a scam!
Whenever the old TXU needs money, it goes to the state and gets money and then it turns around and charges the consumer even more money. Corporate welfare PLUS price gouging is what we have with this so called "deregulation".

And that is what we are seeing now on the national level.
