Watching 60 minutes............The overall reason for where we are? Deregulation. Culprits.......Phil Gram & Alan Greenspan both Republicans. Phil Gram would have a lot of power under a McCain administration......More bad judgment! Current Socialization of financial system is the fault of the Republicans. The Republicans do want to do away with Social Security & Medicare. They do say they would be open to privatizing Social Security and Medicare with Haliburton being the automatic winner of the no bid contract. If Social Security and Medicare are eliminated that will be the end of the Villages! We cannot stay the course! Doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results is called insanity!
