(2) motivated Bush to create the kind of atmosphere that is perfect for economic meltdown due to the deregulation of banks and financial institutions
Thanks for bringing this up, I had a nice discussion about this the other day with a staunch democrat, and activists.
She and her group equated corporations with republicans. So we discussed that a bit. She and her group then equated the banking executives with republicans, and cited much evidence to suggest they are generally republican.
What I found interesting and suggested to her and her little group was, the banks don't care about democrats or republicans, but serve a global interest. If they serve something global, where do the two little parties really fit in?
It seems, both Bush and Obama, have been hijacked by the same circle of friends and groups, and in fact both administrations are resulting in HUGE losses for the American people.
Bush deregulated, and now Obama is calling for reform. But who is left to reform? The damage is done, the Nuke dropped and now the Japanese need to rebuild with smiles
It is typical text book action, make lots of money anyway you can, give the masses some blood to quiet their anger when they realized they have been robbed, and move on as fast as possible. Hopefully some big natural disaster strike to take attention away, cause those American have no attention span!
