But the best part..... the government gives the banks billions upon billions and what do the banks do???????? Raise credit card fees and interest rates. Make it harder for people to get loans and continue to foreclose... hey, it's business. Abusiness bailed out with OUR taxes.

And we'll not get into how banks that were more financially stable than others and did not take TARP money were bought out with federal approval and force by those who had taken TARP money. (PNC's buyout of National City) Kucinich tried to step in, Voinivich tried to, Brown tried to all tried to stop it, demanded hearings and investigations and were told to shut up and sit down.

But you're right SM that is just all happening in Ohio. Employment is up in every other state. People are having great time enjoying an economic rebound in every other state. The banks only rose credit card interest rates on Ohioans. The banks only are foreclosing and buying out economically sound banks in Ohio.... this isn't a national problem.... how dare I compare what is going on in Ohio to that of the rest of the nation.

And sorry, I don't believe in polls. I listen to my friends, the people I work with, go to meetings with, etc. Polls come out with the results the people paying for the polls want. If Harris doesn't give the data NBC wants, NBC will go to Zogby.... etc. Or they will run thier own polls to get what ever info they want.

Fox I'm sure runs polls that show the Liberal press's polls are all fucked up. And vice versa.... polls don't mean shit unless you rely on them to dictate your views for you or to justify your views.

On a side note: that was weird my previous post appeared in this one twice... I had to edit to delete it.
