It was the neocons and Bush who put us in debt with their trillion dollars of the Iraq war. And now our government tells the taxpayers that we should bail out the incompetent greedy CEOs on Wall Street with another trillion-dollar loan.

I just hope that the American people remember that for the most part, it was the Republican administration of the last eight years with their deregulation and open market which they assumed would take care of itself.

McCain has voted for deregulation for most, if not all, of his time in the Senate and for him to come out now and act as if these problems weren’t of his making is laughable.
