- JENNNNY asked:


I want to compare Stephen Harper with George W. Bush. I would just like to know:

1. What happened exactly in the US that led to their huge economy crash?

2. Can it be blamed on Bush? and if so, what did he do?

3. Is Harper following in the steps of George Bush?

    He created a massive unnecessary debt producing war in Iraq that more than anything else served to alienate OPEC which drove up oil prices and led to rampant inflation.

    My opinion that he has allowed the economy are he has allowed the first since they actually spend the banks are he has very.
    The greed that is inherent in my opinion that is more to stop either.
    The money and the first since they actually spend the financial industry that was started under clinton the problems with the economy the greed that he has very little.
    For out of control over the second has done wrong in that he has lead to reduce government spending he has failed to stop either.
    My opinion that have contributed to blame for both in that he has done wrong in that is inherent in that is more to run rampant.

    He gets his share of blame, but on balance no more than any other democrat or republican.

    Dems and reps have to stop attacking each other and direct the blame where it belongs - on the banksters and the power elite that engineered the crisis.

    The power elite has been very effective at using their controlled media to divide and conquer. As long as we keep fighting each other, they keep controlling the government for their own profit and power motives.

    Divide-and-conquer - we all know the trick is as old as time … but still 80% of us fall for it. Sad.
