Yeah the "new" government is really busting its ass to fix things. That's why it is spending $2T more a year then the treasury brings in and why they are trying to destroy Health care which is 1/7 of the economy.
There is a simple answer to that: the government tries to prevent the collapse, for this the govt needs money, ie. must make debt. And regarding health care: one wonders why some circles are against it when there are about 50 million Americans don't have any health care, because they can't afford it. The health care sector seems to be in the hands of the same Goldman&Co. gangsters...
Your understanding is poor. This Goldman as the boogyman has become an epic myth. Maybe people need to remember that Goldman was near collapse a year ago and needed help from Warren Buffet and the American Taxpayers. They are not omnipotent, even if their motives are purely profit driven.
This ia a good insight. It may be the only chance for Obama to win in 2012, coming to the middle. Problem is that Obama has no philsophy of his own, he is a pawn of Nancy P. and the whole lot.
Obama will tax, tax and tax to artificial create jobs for his union supporters. Those who are not organized (like small traders) are going to taxed out of business.
Wishful thinking. Obama can not credibly throw his party under the bus. As a country we are gullible and stupid to a degree, but not to this degree. Everyone knows Obama + Pelosi + Reid is a trifecta that is joined at the hip, if not on every political calculation, on pure policy goals. For Obama to throw them under the bus would be like Bush throwing the GOP under the bus for the difficulties in Iraq. The opposite is far more likely, that members of congress will start running for the exits and shedding Obama from their 2010 campaign ad portfolio. We've already seen signs of this, with many Dem reps announcing retirement after this term.
I don't know that it's much of a gamble. With their ability to fudge the data and the free passes given Obama by the MSM and public, I'm sure the WH believes it can do and get away with just about anything.
