You make it sound so simple without a clue of which you speak. This country had no choice......even your boy Boner had to get on his stupid knees for the bailout. We would have had no banks to transact any dealings for any companies. The world would have had no insurance for any businesses all over the world. Millions of auto companies, suppliers or millions of people that rely on the spending for all of the above............but it could have been prevented but hell no because we ALL know that REPUBLICONS hate those pesky RULES, REGULATIONS AND OVERSIGHT over anything. Where do you think they learn these things? Any idea? Tell me. Even today all we hear from REPUBLICONS are how evil REGULATIONS are why???????????????????? Are they STUPID or just plain DUMB?????????????????????????????
