> it's clear that the world's top economists felt we were perilously close to a full-blown disaster – trucks not bringing goods into cities, things grinding to a halt, etc. The same top economists who didn't see the financial crisis coming? More like the top economists hired/backed by bankers felt that bankers would lose a lot of money and made the excuse of bread lines to dupe congress. > But if there were ever a time for us not to be partisan and tribal, it's now. No. I prefer the partisanship. It's when the government is united that you know bad things is going to happen. Everytime there is an illegal war, the government unites. Everytime the american people gets screwed over, it's always the united government. And the same messaging is used "if there were ever a time for us not to be partisan and tribal, it's now." But then again, the partisanship is just for show anyways. They all work for the same masters. > We need to act boldly, now. Like what? Give more money to bankers and wall street? Like last time? Every time there is a fear mongering event - 9/11, Financial Crisis, Red Scare, etc, it's the american public that loses more rights/privileges and the elites/government/state that gets more control.
