For starters we would have saved about $ 1.4 trillion between the stimulous and that stupid omnibus spending packages. Look, McCain was not my first choice but at least I feel he would have been held in check by conservative congressional leaders. He also would not have thumb his nose at the voters. There is a reason why Obamas numbers are starting to tank. His arogance.

I agree wholeheatedly. The biggest problem in our government are lawyers.

I cannot speak for anyone elese but myself. However, where were you when conservatives like Rush, Hannity, Levin and Ingram and myself frankly were railing against bailing anyone out from the start. Yes, you are right, he Bush administration started us down this path, a foolish move, we should have let the failures take place and the bankruptcy process work. This approach would have been cheaper and shorten the recession.
