===========================================================
Hello Michiel!

19 Feb 11 10:28, you wrote to me:

 MV>>> Americans spending money they did not have, is what started the
 MV>>> global financial crisis. That was under the Bush government.

 RC>> and it is spilt milk...

 MV> It ain't over until the mess is cleared up and the people responsible
 MV> have paid their dues to society....

Deficit spending did not start under Bush.

The mortgage industry collapse did not occur because of any policy Bush had.

That you can blame on the bleeding heart lefto's who wanted everyone to have
the dream of owning a house, even if they had not the means to pay for it and
that policy whizzed up in the 1990's..

 RC>> To assume that only the USA has made mistakes, most world govts
 RC>> have spending discrepancies..

It was the policies legislated in by the socialists Michiel..

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are also Government sponsored enterprises.

 MV>>> Unmarried mothers? Why not just oust everyone who does not
 MV>>> exactly share your ideas and moral values?

 RC>> I think thats what people do when they vote...

 MV> Not in this part of the world. We don't "oust" people. We try to build

Oust, if he loses re-election, what would you call it?

 RC>> I think that is what you are doing when you express a desire for
 RC>> us to elect/re-elect certain politicians.

 MV> I do not really care who you elect. As long as you keep the mess you
 MV> make to yourself.

You doth protest too much.
