Reagan and Bush 42 started the ball rolling with deregulation, some of it scheduled to be rolled out over years ahead. When banks were not permitted to cross state lines, they could not become "too big to fail". When banks could not combine with insurance business, it prevented messes like AIG. Deregulation is a petri dish for greed, and spread the disease of conglomeration.

If everyone would just stop listening to all the doomsayers and the mainstream media who are in the pockets of liberals and go about thier lives the economy would not be this bad now and recover faster. Because as anyone who pays attention knows the government does not give anything without first taking it from the taxpayer first, so IMO try to get back to doing things as much as possible and watch the current administration to make sure they dont sell us to far down the river

the cause goes deeper then the so called Clintion era. It goes to good parenting, where we are taught values and respect, and somehow we are not doing as good a job in that area as we need to. It is too easy to blame it on the other guy. A scapegoat is better then sharing the blame for greed and self indelgence.

The economy will recover - slowly, and probably at a lower level than it was at when we went into freefall. For example, take your current pay rate and devide it by 14000 and then multiply it by the current market level (currently 8000) and you see what your job is worth today. I expect the market to move into the mid 8000 range and then fall to about 5000 before we start recovery. I also expect it to smooth out at about 9000 - 10500 by the end of 2010. Remember, it is not what the President or the Congress, the Republicians or the Democrats do that will matter - It is You - what you do that will ultimately decide when and where this economy will settle. Or, as Pogo once said: "We have met the enemy and he is us!"

This topic just leads to Republicans and Democrats trying to one up each other....it happens on the forums...and it will happen here...instead of working together and supporting our government, everyone just wants to point fingers, but never do or say anything constructive. RVtravel.com is "supposed" to be informative and fun, not political.

Our President is leading us down the road to inflation like this country has never seen before. Hardships will be worse than the great depression. We have two generations that basically have never known hardship. The people who need the relief will not see it, but the politicians will line their pockets even more.

The President and our governmental leaders are doing what is necessary to stimulate our economy. As a country we need to invest now for the future generations.
