<<<I thought after the 2006 election everything was going to be wonderful, because Democrats regained control of Congress? They controlled the purse strings, Committees and so forth.>>> Sounds like you are trying to blame the current economic crises on the democrats control of Congress in 2006. That is fundamentally dishonest just as leaving out the date on that Republican Study Committee Alternative to Bailout Proposal.

Michael, we both know you are here hoping to get kicked off. You don't want a serious conversation, just an opportunity to throw darts. Well, something a bit beyond that metaphor. The thread has been very open to conversations across the political spectrum. It has regular posters from reasonably far right to reasonably far left, all talking civilly with one another. Whatever happens to you, that wont change the character of the thread. It's called civil political discourse. Essential for a democracy.
