immunity as well as hundreds of billions of dollars, I would readily agree with you that it was all the Republicans' fault.

"We" are now financing endless wars with money that we don't have. And, for the first time in history, a President of the United States is offering to cut Social Security as a solution.

You ask, "When will America learn?" I think that they are learning right now.

Interestingly the market started to tank on 9/29 2008. Add a 1 before that. 1929.

Anything beyond a few weeks days ago is ancient history best left to fuzzy headed academics.

If you don't know where you have been you really don't know how you got where you are.
