(Source: BBC News) The USA, that proselytising bastion of the �free market,� is once again using public money to bail out the failure of capitalists at Citigroup. Thirteen point four thousand million pounds are going into the hole created by the piratical adventurism of the Citigroup management. Money that could have been spent on welfare, housing, education, health. But spending money on essential public services is, of course, against The American Way. That would be foolish, that would be socialism! Far better to spend trillions of dollars on an illegal war and then pour billions more into businesses run by inept fatcats. For the US ruling class, essential infrastructure isn�t worth investing in. War and bonuses for reckless management, now those are things worthy of support. Oh, and if you think $20bn is a crapload of money, don�t worry, this follows $25bn of public money thrown at the bank last month. Ordinary people all around the world must be thinking, �Surely it would be cheaper for us if these businesses had been nationalised all along?�
Im so so tired of the scum of the earth aka republicans spamming their bullshit storys via email or robocallers. Cry about socialism while capitalism fails you every day.
You people (repubs) bitch about obama and how he will hurt this country when you're own boy BUSH has ruined it and ran it into the ground for over 8 years. His admins allowed torture of human beings every day for as long as they liked. People were stuck into sealed box's and the gasped for air as the oxygen ran out in the box... moments from death they were let out.
Is this what you really stand up for? A man like that? Ideas like that?
This country is a huge joke, were are now infact the scum bags of the earth. We used to be known as a caring nation one that would never allow tourture of individuals and we also lived under that assumption for 8 years untill the truth came out.
So before you bitch about Obama, You had better learn the facts on EVERYTHING bush allowed.
I find it funny that you named this thread "Capitalism=fail." What you cut and pasted may have been about economic policy. Then what happened was as soon as you started typing in your own words, it turned into a Republican bashing thread.
WHAT THE FUCK DOES TORTURE HAVE TO DO WITH CAPITALISM????????
You can't even stay on topic in your own post! George W. Bush didn't start capitalism in this country anyway. I think your problem is with human nature, not a certain type of government or economic policy. It seems to me that you should have a problem with democracy. Voters had two opportunities to NOT put Bush in the white house.
I think it's hilarious that this site has two "=fail" threads. One for socialism and one for capitalism. Isn't it communism that really fails?
