GOP Economic Sabotage

Proof that the GOP wants to 'sabotage' the economy?
Some call it sabotage and some say it's just part of a strategy to get their guy elected. Either way it's the American people that wind up as the victims of these political games!
:curse:
The top four Republicans in the House and Senate sent Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke a letter this week expressing their "serious concerns" about the Fed's plans to administer further monetary stimulus to juice the stalled economy. The Fed should "resist further extraordinary intervention in the U.S. economy," they advised. (The Fed ignored the GOP and approved a plan to buy $400 billion in long-term Treasury bonds by selling shorter-term T-notes.) Liberals have pounced, accusing the GOP of trying to undermine the economy for political gain — the theory being that if the economy improves, so do President Obama's chances in 2012. "I realize the term 'economic sabotage' is a loaded one," says Karoli Kuns at Crooks & Liars. "But what else do you call this?"

BRICS to the Rescue?
The USA and Europe can't seem to do anything right and it looks like other countries are ready to step up and lead the way since obviously the USA can't be counted on for anything anymore!

Did Baby Boomers Break The Economy? (NO! Endless Wars For Profit Did!)
What a bunch of BS! Baby boomers BUILT the economy and Bush squandered everything we worked hard to achieve!

What We Can Learn From Iceland
If we had put Bush/Cheney and all their banker friends in prison this whole economic crisis would have been solved by now. Instead the bankers got bonuses and Bush/Cheney are still free. Oh, yeah, and by the way, we put Bradley Manning in prison for doing the right thing of exposing war crimes and reward the bad guys. No wonder nothing is improving!
