Subject: Re:The sub prime loans began under Carter but flourished under clinton..

(V): In America, Republicans are conditioned to blame Democratic politicians for everything wrong, and Democrats are conditioned to blame Republican politicians.

On this board, I see the pattern repeated on the Republican side, just as among members of my family, I see the same pattern from the Democatic side. It's as if both sides believe that, were all U.S. citizens to convert to THEIR party, everything wrong with America would be set straight.

But you've raised a great point, which is that the politicians of both parties may say different things to get elected, but in office they ACT THE SAME WAY!

The two-party system is an illusion. It is one party with two branches....and that party has abandoned the principles & the laws of the Constitution (our SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND) and is selling America's future.

The Usurper: I've been interested and watching governments in the UK since I learnt economics at school. Our teacher knew that Maggies' boom and bust policy of economic growth was gonna fail and we'd be knee deep in it. Since then I've watched as opposition parties have said "that's a bad idea" but not changed policy on the "'bad idea' or stopped it.

It's like they just wanna mouth each other off so they can get into power to get the extra monies that come from being in power through 'wages'.
... And they always agree on pay rises for themselves.
