    Do you think Unions are partly responsible for this economic disaster?

    Unions and corporations are no different. They're the pooling of resources for the purpose of gaining power. But neither of which directly have anything to do with our economic collapse. The problem is solely based on playing fast and loose with credit. Easy debt let us grow the economy very...

    The best thing the GOP can do now is stay quiet

    No, Lincoln was a fascist. Ending slavery had nothing to do with compassion and everything to do with damaging the south.

    The best thing the GOP can do now is stay quiet

    I don't see the OP saying to STFU here (though admittedly he has in other threads). He's saying that the best thing the Republicans can do is be patient. One of two things can happen. A. The Democrats do well, the economy picks back up, world opinion of the US goes up, and everything comes...

    Are you buying a new HDTV this Christmas?

    I'd agree with all of those statements. It's the "hand up not hand out" concept.

    So now the big 3 want $50B. Apparently $25B is not enough.
