I felt bad that the crowd in Washington just did not like the outsider coming to change some of their ways. What do we have now in our desire to change the ways of Washington? He's a good man, and if you read a recent post, in one poll he was voted the best ex-president of the recent lot of them. I like Jimmy Carter.

JERUSALEM – Was a far-left think tank partnered with the community activist group ACORN and founded with input from President Obama instrumental in securing the appointment of controversial White House “environmental czar” Van Jones?

The farmers of Georgia bought billboards that said. "We the farmers of Georgia, apologize to the citizens of the United States of America, for Jimmy Carter" I know this is true, because I saw the signs myself. We also know or should know that the Taliban were creatures of Carter and Brezenski. How much has that creation cost us in lives and treasure? How much has or will it cost America with the gifting to China of the Cray computer by William Jefferson Clinton? http://www.papillonsartpalace.com/clinEton.htm Carter and Clinton had their hand in the banking/housing mess as had Bush and Obama. What we have to understand is this. The two parties are attatched to the same body. It is NOT an eagle but a vampire bat. To ignore this is to do so at our peril. Why not Jimmy Carter?

Clearly you are a Jimmy Carter fan and there aren't too many of you:) Nixon created a problem with wage and price controls and driving up inflation. But stagflation happened under Carter. The lack of regulation on the banking industry is not the core problem that precipitated the housing crisis. It started with the CRA under Carter which eventually legally forced banks to break their own lending practices and give loans to people not credit worthy. Then you give the mortgage industry and inch and they will take ten miles - ending in subprime mortgages. I stated the historical facts.

I'd like to know HOW it happened. Who launched the 500 billion run on Money Market accounts and how did they do it? Where did this run come from?

Blue collar parents, BA from NYH, PhD from Columbia. Zinn worked for SNCC, led Vietnam war protests and published "A People's History of the Unites States" in 1980 as a alternative history to the triumphalist, manifest destiny propaganda texts overwhelming academia at the time. Brilliant, passionate, uncompromising - you could do far worse than to take Zinn as a role model, as evidenced by the troll comment below. If you want to make your right wing friends throw apoplectic fits - just tell them how much you like this book. Howard Zinn in the poster boy for left wing politics.
