Poll question: Can America afford wars and bailouts -- and tax-cuts for wealthy ?
Edited on Fri Nov-07-08 03:55 PM by defendandprotect
How much has this contributed to the bankrupting of our Treasury --??

What should be done -- ??

Reregulate capitalism - ?

Break up monopolies - ?

Keep in mind our only choices aren't simply to bail out or not--

For instance, with auto industry we can nationalize oil industry and raise a
corporation to make electric cars ..

Same with Wall Street .. we can restructure the homeloans and credit card debts -
end the senseless credit-card interest rates ...
Restore valid bankruptcy rules ..
Have Congress rather than FED set economic policy --

End trade agreements - ?
