Hey GOP...2008 remember? You and GW Bush did this to America, NOT Obama
During the '08 election the American economy came crashing down almost without warning. Georgie came before the cameras looking like he'd been kicked square in the balls and said:
"..The government's top economic experts warn that, without immediate action by Congress, America could slip into a financial panic and a distressing scenario would unfold.
More banks could fail, including some in your community. The stock market would drop even more, which would reduce the value of your retirement account. The value of your home could plummet. Foreclosures would rise dramatically.
....In close consultation with Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, and SEC Chairman Chris Cox, I announced a plan on Friday.
First, the plan is big enough to solve a serious problem. Under our proposal, the federal government would put up to $700 billion taxpayer dollars on the line to purchase troubled assets that are clogging the financial system."
SEVEN HUNDRED FUCKING BILLION taxpayer dollars to bail out the banks. this is 2008 people, Obama took office in January 2009 and saved the American auto industry and they paid the money back already. you fuck-heads cut a blank check to the banks and they have not paid one cent back and they do not intend to.
The economy of America, no, the WORLD was on the verge of collapse because of 30 years of GOP cuts and the killing of oversight. When Bush and you cowards who never bothered to serve took us to war, what did you say?: "Go shopping, CHARGE something!" don't worry, it'll be ok. And you and Boehner, McConnell, Gingrich, and the supreme court were deciding corporations were human beings and that women had absolutely no decision rights regarding their health care. You decided to give hundreds of billions to corporations while blaming our country's economic failure on people on Welfare! FUCK YOU!
You want to return to that? you want to return to 2008 to where YOU were reaping the spoils of your deregulation while we died? FUCK YOU Mitt, Fuck You Herman Cain, Fuck you Social Security-killing Medicare medicaid-killing Paul Ryan...We are better off now and we do not need your failed economic strategy.

O'Brien said she remembers going to the gym 4 years ago, seeing the TVs tuned to CNBC, and feeling so depressed by the financial news with everything collapsing that she just wanted to go around with the clicker, turning all the TVs off.
