Reply #8: Given that the Bush/McCain approach (now) is straight out of the New Deal playbook ...

... I don't know why so many DUers are saying it is a bad thing.

Turns out there are no Conservatives in Economic foxholes. It amazes me that the most Rightist administration in modern history is taking a hard Left turn now that everything has fallen apart.

DUers often say that Bush is just an amiable dunce of a front man for the real powers that be. And I think we see that in play now. You notice that Bush only managed a very short speech and was then immediately hustled away. I suspect Bush disagrees with all of this and will be kept as secluded as possible henceforth.

The puppet masters, parasites on the American economy, realize their host is dying and that for a time they must help their host recover. They know damn well their Rightist policies hurt the economy. But as long as it enriches them, they don't give a fuck.

Now they have no choice but to turn to Liberal economic policies to save the economy.
