Bush/GOP and their TRICKLE DOWN RECESSION/DEPRESSION
can kiss my ASS

Look at what happened? It trickled down alright...down to the unemployment office...

This is one of the Reasons They Lost their asses 3 weeks ago....Bull Shit. They tried to fool us again....

Lowering Taxes for the rich was the start of the demise of this Nation....and it falls on W Bush....

from a surplus we went into deficit....big time....now we owe 10 trillion with another 4 trillion before all is fixed....


14 $Trillion National Debt is gonna stifle our econ for years until we get it down to a reasonable level....or eliminated altogether

The Nx time one of them Pubs mention Trickle Down Economics punch him in the nose...

1. They lied, but the free market folks have been lying about all this for years
We need to stop falling for this free market mythology. If you're going to have free market it has to be regulated up the wazoo so they won't steal, cheat and leave us in a 3rd world nation, penniless while they stash what they sole in Swiss Banks.

2. We need to create a museum that commemorates the horror
of the Trickle Down Economics Theory. I'm suggesting that we take a page from the Holocaust Museum. You may think that I am insulting Holocaust victims. I am not. People are going to suffer and die because of Wall Street's greed. Millions of elderly people have lost everything and have no future. If you have older parents, start planning on setting aside some space for them soon -- or moving in with them when you lose your job.

Young people have some chance to recover, but older people do not. The whole, huge Baby Boomer generation has been the intended target for this fraud ever since Reagan eyed their savings accounts.

Let's try to think how we can make sure that our children and grandchildren never forget that we are one nation, that we have to work together, that it is not us against them and that one homeless person means everyone and anyone could be homeless tomorrow. We cannot tolerate the injustice of extreme capitalism any more. And, by the way, I am not a socialist. I believe in regulated capitalism in which creativity is rewarded but people can trust the system and just being a good citizen or even being an unsuccessful person is not punished by extreme poverty.

3. After I punch 'em in the nose, I'm going to drop kick their ass!

Under current conditions there is no way out of this mess. BO must get heavy handed with wall street, financial institutions and corporate america; free market capitalism is a giant failure when criminals run the show; criminals will always run the show.
