McCain vs Obama vs the Economy

John McCain has suspended his campaign in order to go do the JOB he was paid to do- be a United States senator. In order to judge his behavior, one has to look at the mess we are in. The Pokergirl would refer you BACK to her post in January of this year, which was not prescient, but rather a REPEAT of an essay written a year earlier on a different blog- which was prescient. Go back and read it.
The mess we are now in was certainly in the offing. For a LONG LONG time. It began BACK when credit cards were first issued and has led people down the road of easy credit with even easier credit line extensions. As the child of a man who paid cash for everything, credit cards have always mystified me. Mortgages are a way to pay 5 times more than your house is worth. I've always saved to buy a car! We have NOT seen the end of this. Banks are next. The US needs to save some cash for all those FDIC payouts. If you have cash, you should at least have it where it is insured.
Now, because no one LISTENED to Pokergirl, especially last January when she warned in dire words of this impending disaster, we have this incalculable mess. Well, not totally incalculable since a pricetag HAS been put on it. Bend over.
But John McCain has at least ACTED as if it is a priority to start being a senator- or at LEAST put some face time in watching the BS going on in the government. You'd think Obama would want to do the same, since WHOEVER is elected is going to have it crammed up their rears with amazing speed. They should be in DC right NOW working this out. BOTH of them. We know what the hell they think. We KNOW where they stand. Obama is just mad that all that prep work he has done might go to waste for a week. McCain has no trouble talking off the cuff. NO ONE cares what they say because they won't change our minds on a Friday night debate.
BUT they WILL change our minds by ACTING rather than talking.
This is a critical time. Don't pay those idiot CEO's, sue their board members for cash, and save the economy. Because Obama will take our money for all those taxes anyway. So let's at least USE it for this rather than handing it to people who never earned it!
