I ain't lumping them all together.
No sir.
Barney Frank for starters should be prosecuted, with a long line behind him.
A GOP man myself, I cannot absolve the Republicans of any wrong-doing.
The Democrats are too stupid/selfish to care about complicated big picture stuff, while the Republicans who KNEW did little but sound the alarm and then walk away.
Shit-heads on BOTH sides of the aisle, but those with their hands ALL OVER IT should swing from a rope.....

The wife and I discussed exactly this last night.
With the money we make, it's a shame we don't have all the toys our friends and co-workers have.
We live in a nice solid home that we paid a good price for.
Both of our trucks have over 100,000 miles on them but they're in great shape.
They will be in the garage for years to come.
I paid cash for every guitar and gun I own.
My 26" color TV is 22 years old.
My computer was free from work.
All my clothes come from Wal Mart, my wife buys much of hers at Goodwill.
I have no fancy electronic gadgets beyond my Ipod I got as a gift.
We live comfortably with no flash or glitz in our lives.

I was in Texas in the eighties, the economy and housing market were MUCH worse than this.
I KNOW what a bad economy looks like, and we ain't there - yet...
