I once saw this cartoon of an animal that was half elephant (Republican) and half donkey (Democrat). I'd love to find that image because I felt it was so symbolic of what we need to do to actually get anywhere. If we could only reserve the energy that we expel trying to make our own points and make a combined effort, things would be very different.Sarojahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16308200135748891699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148203324473751519.post-78560430679285339842009-03-26T06:08:00.000-07:002009-03-26T06:08:00.000-07:00I first of all agree with you on some accounts, bu...I first of all agree with you on some accounts, but we are forgetting that we can't put blame on just one person. As a country we have done things to account for this recession. We have spent money on homes, cars, etc., when we didn't have money in the bank. We took out loans expecting to pay them back when we didn't actually have this money. This is similar to what led to the Great Depression in the 30s. People wanted to live the fabulous life style, but didn't realize that by taking out all this fake money, they were actually shooting themselves in the foot. <BR/><BR/>I just think it's wrong for Republicans to blame Democrats, and Democrats to blame Republicans. As long as we keep blaming each other and the past presidents, this problem will not go away. It's time to step up now and do what we can together, because we all contributed to this problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
