In 2 years of a Democratic controlled Congress can you show me some "Change" in Legislation that has been brought forth by Obama? In his years as a Senator, can you show me Change that he has brought to Illinois, or to the U.S. in the form of ideas that have been implemented, legislation, etc.?


In all fairness, can anyone show me "Change" that ANY single politician has brought to us regarding anything?

One, if not "The" cause of poverty, IMHO, is that those at the top of the food chain have stopped allowing any "trickling down" to occur, if indeed that ever worked very well. Even though they were raking in millions on legitimate business, that wasn't enough-- One estimate I read was that the distressed investment banks had leveraged an average of $32 against every dollar they had in assets. There has never been so wide a gap between the haves and have nots.

But what really makes me furious is that now that the cows are out of the barn, so to speak, it is we, the little guys, who get to pay for their raping of the economy. Although there are 72 million talking heads out there, why is NO ONE asking the burning question: Aren't any of those people going to be held accountable? For anything?? All those guys get to keep their billion dollar bonuses when we're now finding out that they were based on nothing more than imaginary money? Who created mortgage-backed financial instruments so complex that not even the economists can figure out the extent of the debacle? ::flails::
