WHO’S RESPONSIBLE FOR US ECONOMIC CRISIS?

I betcha that some out there will quickly reply, “government overspending.” But, that’s not right. The worldwide, economic meltdown was caused by the deregulation of Wall Street — leading to risky, greedy gambling with tax-payer backed money: Heads — Wall Street wins; Tails — Wall Street wins. They couldn’t lose, and they didn’t.

To continue to allow Wall Street to gamble with our money is foolish — but, that’s what the GOP wants to do. And to convince voters that deregulating Wall Street would unleash economic growth, rather than lead to more financial meltdowns, is the alternative reality they’re attempting to sell.

To cast Wall Street gamblers as job-creators goes against the facts; but that’s how Mitt Romney wants to sell himself — as a job creator, when the reality does not match with the claim.

To further muddy the waters, the alternate reality they’re putting out there is that since “government overspending” is the cause of the economic woes, then it stands to reason that to fix the problem we must cut government spending.

Reality is stood on its head — to fix a problem, we must first acknowledge the cause.
