Why?

Really, why? They were so OK with spending 1.3 trillion dollars in 2001 under Bush. This bill is only 900 billion. A stimulous plan spends money, that is capitalism. Money circulating once again. The banks were bailed out, right? Why aren’t loans increasing in number? That’s because the money should be placed in the hands of contractors. That is, union labor rebuilding our cities, making property values go up. These are small steps in a long journey of recuperation.

“When history tells the story of the subprime lending crisis and recounts its devastating effects on the lives of so many innocent homeowners, the Bush administration will not be judged favorably. The tale is still unfolding, but when the dust settles, it will be judged as a willing accomplice to the lenders who went to any lengths in their quest for profits. So willing, in fact, that it used the power of the federal government in an unprecedented assault on state legislatures, as well as on state attorneys general and anyone else on the side of consumers.”
