Why hasn't he been called the SHILL he was by any of the Dem pols or by the liberal media? (I don't expect anything from the corporate media.)

THE EFFING PRESIDENT WAS SHILLING FOR THE HOUSING SCAM.

He should be getting more blame than anyone...after all, he is the president...or some shit.

1. When he says "ownership society," he means you're on your own in society.

3. The "ownership society" doesn't mean that you're on your own.

It means you ARE OWNED. Its just a fancy word for slavery.

2. Yes he should get more blame.

And the Dems need to make him a weight around the gop's neck.

4. I read recently that 40% of ECONOMIC GROWTH was HOUSING RELATED!

I believe it was in a Newsweek article, and so it supports what you say..That this whole thing was deliberately done to make the economic "numbers" work in Bush's favor! It was all an illusion, and they KNEW it was going to collapse.

5. Housing was the last leg of the broken stool..

manufacturing's pretty much gone
the stock markets's a scam
housing & its attendant offshoot businesses were all that was left..

Georgie just hoped it would all collapse in Feb '09...but the new plate spinner, who replaced the previous plate spinner , was not as good at it..
