<p>Right, b/c McCain’s campaign manager “never” uses his influence w/ McCain and just runs McCain’s campaign out of the goodness of his heart.</p>
<p>And btw, McCain’s economic’s guru was Phil Gramm, the man instrumental in the legislation/deregulation that got us in this mess.</p>
<p>And one of his other economics advisor is the failed CEO of HP, Fiorina.</p>
<p>Funny how McCAIN rants about huge golden parachutes for CEOs who drive their companies into the ground, but when asked about Fiorina’s $45 million for sinking HP stock during her tenure, McCain hemmed and hawed as usual and had the audacity to say that he thought that Fiorina did a “good job” (further proof that McCain doesn’t know anything about business/economics).</p>
<p>Furthermore, the $126k Obama purportedly got from Freddie/Fannie comes from employees or their famly members.</p>
<p>McCain, otoh, received $169k from Freddie/Fannie Board members and lobbyists.</p>
<p>And let’s not forget McCain getting $2 million from big oil.</p>

<p>Thank goodness you aren’t runnng our economic policy - otherwise we would have contaminated milk/milk powder like in China, as well as economic bubbles and the disaster aftermath to go along w/ monopolies and cartels.</p>
<p>Btw, the banks (aside from the mortgage brokers, wall street firms, grading agencies, etc.) went berserk over the easy $$ they were making by offering mortages to people who clearly weren’t in financial shape to carry those mortgages. </p>
<p>How did the market work out?</p>
<p>Now, the banks have done a complete 360 and people and businesses w/ excellent credit and assets are having a hard time getting banks to lend them $$.</p>
<p>There’s a demand for credit by people/businesses w/ excellent credit histories (and assets to boot) and yet, banks are reluctant to lend.</p>
<p>Yep - that’s the market working.</p>
<p>A market doesn’t work unless there is confidence and confidence come w/ transparency.</p>
