I think there's no question but what the tail end of the Bush administration, Bush-Cheney administration, that we took steps specifically geared to try and free up the financial sector.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What we need to do is break the financial community's grip on society.
Part of any solution to get our economy going should include steps to free up our small businesses by peeling back unnecessarily burdensome regulations, ending the continual threats of tax hikes, and addressing the cloud of federal debt that hangs over our economy.
Our focus is on ensuring America has the strongest economy in the world for the next 100 years and to do that, we need to get to the role of the Federal Reserve and we need to get it right.
Our first goal is to stop the recession and start with recovery.
We're on the verge of a financial collapse unless we balance the budget, and that means some really, really tough decisions.
Throughout the '90s and early 2000s, our financial industry and governments leaned on a snake-oil mirage of wealth creation, a bubble predicated on the obvious falsehood that things could only get better.
We have not recovered all that we lost in the Bush recession. That's why we need to continue to move forward.
I thought the Bush economic policy was a disaster. We lost 500,000 private sector jobs during his tenure.
Our goal is to make finance the servant, not the master, of the real economy.
There is nothing left now for us but to get ever deeper and deeper into debt to the banking system in order to provide the increasing amounts of money the nation requires for its expansion and growth.
