Time to Frame the Financial Crisis |
|
The Dems need to Frame the debate on the Financial Crisis or they risk a McSame presidency and an Anti-Democrat Backlash in the next election cycle
“Is this the Death of Reaganomics”
“The Financial Crisis proves Trickle Down Economics doesn’t work”
This is a VERY Unpopular bill nobody wants to swallow, the least of which are the American Tax payers. Obama's message to all Americans is 1 that offers "Change and Hope for a better tommorrow".
It is time to distinguish what that "change" is

1. Do a cost benefit analysis: How much does Wall Street send to the US Treasury |
|
...every quarter and is that more that enough to warrent a $1.1 trillion bailout which American taxpayers will never see returned?

Most Americans couldn't be bothered reading a 4 paragraph news story much less looking at spread sheets
Politics - is Won or Lost on a 3 sec. sound byte
They need to Frame this debate or it will come back around to bite them for years to come

Explain how 'your local bank/car dealer/etc.' will have problems lending you/etc $ for your every day/yearly needs, 'so something should be done to enable the U.S. to get back to business as usual.'

4. Explain how Reagenomics needs cash infusions for the RICH |
|
Seems to me we had to Bail out S&Ls just 20 short years ago for the very same reasons.
Dems need to "Take Hold of this issue Today, Now or McSame and the Ratpublicans will emerge the Popular Champion of the People"

may or may not remain so.
And people must be able to PAY that 180%, on top of principle. My family would not have been able to pay on such terms.
