Are You Insulted Enough Yet?

Most financial experts agree that this economic crisis is the worst since the great depression. Here's what the man who stands a good chance to be president has to say about it.

"You know," said McCain, "there's been tremendous turmoil in our financial markets and Wall Street and it is -- people are frightened by these events. Our economy, I think, still the fundamentals of our economy are strong."

This sounds like the standard boilerplate that Bush has been using for the past eight years. Are you tired of having an uninformed "optimist" in the White House? Are you ready for a realist? Bush and McCain are like the captain of the Titanic telling the passengers that the ship is still fundamentally sound.

It's the Free Market Fundamentalists who got us into this mess. Their fundamentals are still strong. Roll back as much regulation as you can get away with. The market will take care of itself. All wisdom and power resides in the market. It will cure everything. When are we going to get away from this ideological bullshit and meet somewhere in the middle? You can't put the pigs at the trough and expect them not to overeat!
