HERE:

You all keep asking why did folks vote for Bush the idiot, that article will explain who voted for Bush.

Damn shame that. Seems that folks who want affordable homes and affordable families act differently after they have a home and kids.

Where are the subprimes located?

Where is the housing market in the crapper?

What state’s citizens are finding it impossible to arrange new lines of credit on their no longer existing home equity?

America is tapped out. No there there. No wherewithal either. Nothing to pledge. Nothing left to pawn. No mas folks.

18 month supply of unsold houses and repos.

18 month supply of commercial lots for sale.

CitiBank ( check your monthly bills to see if you have one of their credit anchors ) has stopped people from cashing out of another one of their “investment vehicles” and limited depositors withdrawals at ATMs.

FDIC has no way of repaying depositors of insured accounts at big banks. You could check out the FDIC website to see that for yourself. FDIC has NEVER handled a bank failure of the size of Citi.

How have the raises been this year? How’s your negative savings working for you?

How much will you enjoy that second shift or third shift emptying bedpans or pouring drinks? ( Those being the only two job growth areas in the last 8 years ).

How’s that student loan repayment coming? Did you notice that even if you go bankrupt that is one debt you cannot get out from under.

How’s that war going for you? A trillion here a trillion there and still the homeless vets pile up.

We must remain in Iraq until 2013 or 2108, we remain in Iraq until the Chinese stop buying US debt. Oh and Moody’s has threatened to downgrade US debt instruments. That is not a shot across the bow, that is a hole drilled below the water line.

Update [2008-2-19 19:58:56 by susanhu]:UPDATE x2: Do you think that Hillary is probably just a "latte liberal" wooing blue-collar votes? How about this from her Wikipedia bio: "That summer, she worked her way across Alaska, washing dishes in Mount McKinley National Park and sliming salmon in a fish processing cannery in Valdez (which fired her and shut down overnight when she complained about unhealthy conditions)." (I'm so proud of her for getting "canned"! Ha! Thanks to Beltway Dem for reminding me of that great story.)

Joshua Holland at Alternet has a great analytical article today on the Clinton/Obama economic plans here:  "Hillary's Economic Plan: Nothing Daring, But More Comprehensive Than Obama's."

The economy has so far been the most pressing issue in the minds of voters in both major parties, and this week Hillary Clinton unveiled a wide-ranging and thoughtful set of economic policies. You can read it in its entirety here (PDF). ...

Economist Stephen Schlesinger (son of Arthur) has more at HuffingtonPost ("Senator Obama has come up with an alternative plan, which, by contrast, does none of these things but tinkers around the edges.") -- and I'm also covering Barack Obama's highly misleading statements from "Sen. Obama Launches Inaccurate Attack On Hillary's Plan To Curb Housing Crisis":

From The Economist print edition, via Mark Halperin's Time magazine The Page blog (essential daily reading for me):

It is time for America to evaluate Obama the potential president, not Obama the phenomenon.

... Although Mr Obama's slogan "Yes We Can" has been turned into a pop video, the theme of his campaign echoes the Clintons' old tune--"Don't stop thinking about tomorrow".

Optimism is a powerful emotion, but as that song warned, "tomorrow will soon be here." That is why the real questioning of Mr Obama should begin now. With the brief exception of those four heady days after the Iowa caucuses, he has never been a front-runner; now he will be more fully scrutinised.

[...]

But what policies exactly? Mr Obama's voting record in the Senate is one of the most left-wing of any Democrat. Even if he never voted for the Iraq war, his policy for dealing with that country now seems to amount to little more than pulling out quickly, convening a peace conference, inviting the Iranians and the Syrians along and hoping for the best. On the economy, his plans are more thought out, but he often tells people only that they deserve more money and more opportunities. If one lesson from the wasted Bush years is that needless division is bad, another is that incompetence is perhaps even worse. A man who has never run any public body of any note is a risk, even if his campaign has been a model of discipline.
