   They should of put a really cheerful song to cut them out (like on “2 best friends play”…).

   I get the impression that one or the other gets the idea for each song and writes some lyrics, and then the two collab to develop it.

   Love the balanced stance. Reflects how the recession is hitting everybody equally. Here- have all my internets for the next year.

    From when the economy first went down… Ahh if only they had known how long it would last.

    Is there a principle songwriter between the two of you on any given song, or is every song a pretty even collaborative split, lyrically?

    R&L, We need a sequel to this, the economy still stinks and we’re on the eve of another presidential election. Economic downturn song, part 2! I KNOW YOU GUYS CAN DO IT, YOU’RE THE BEST

    Relationship to 9/11?
    The only continuous TWO HOUR VIDEO of the 9/11 wtc attacks that is known to exist: ‘Tuesday Morning in September’.  It is something from that day you have NOT seen. You may have seen other posts about it on Youtube. It is not like so much other crap that has been put out since 9/11; it is not a propaganda, and or opinion piece. It has no fair comparison with anything. It is 9/11 like you have never seen. Please preview the 130 min chronicle. There is an upload on my channel

    Wow it’s sad to see Freddie Mac is still doing the same things as before, even though they are owned by the United States Government. It makes me sick.

    you do know you are a moron right ?

    so you are retarded correct?
29. ChampaignDeluxe February 20, 2013 at 8:12 pm #

    

    Randy Phelps,

    You hereby stand corrected: Unemployment was at 4.1% prior to the housing crash that Clinton and democrats created under the CRA.
30. ChampaignDeluxe February 20, 2013 at 9:01 pm #

    

    KarenCruce, there seems to be a broad gap between what you say and what you know. In the 90s, it was Clinton who strengthened the provisions in Jimmy Carter’s COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT (Google it) while prohibiting banks and lending institutions from requiring minority mortgage applicants to provide proof of employment, past tax returns, W-2s, etc..

    It was also Clinton who forced Fannie and Freddie to guarantee or purchase all the subprime mortgages the CRA gave birth to (google CRA).
31. KarenCruce February 20, 2013 at 9:18 pm #

    

    The Republicans hold the pursestrings, the peoples’ business should never be held hostage by bills that the congress has already racked up, and the debt ceiling should always be raised in order to pay it’s bills.
32. KarenCruce February 20, 2013 at 9:38 pm #

    

    Lies, lies and more Fox lies! Bush staunchly supported the housing bubble crisis. B o A got a 150,000,000,000$ dollar bail out and left all of their bundled bad loans for the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to bail out. The CEO got a GOLDEN PARACHUTE, while the rest of us were left holding the umbrella-less shaft!! The BIG BANKS are still scavenging the little folk under the guise of and in the name of the FEDS!!
33. Maxwell Smart February 20, 2013 at 10:29 pm #

    

    clevy911 said “people didn’t lose their homes until after they lost their jobs. Unemployment is the cause of foreclosure most of the time. Stupid gop lies” I assume he means unemployment caused the housing collapse, hence the financial crisis of 2007-2008? Please correct me if I am wrong. To address his argument we have to consider two questions: When did unemployment begin to nosedive? When did the housing market begin to crash? Job loss didn’t cause the housing market crisis – government did.
34. Kevin G February 20, 2013 at 11:22 pm #

    

    And the same thing is going on right now with this debt ceiling deal. The Democrats created it and twisted many Republican arms to pass it. The media is now blaming the deal on the Republicans. It’s amazing how many Democrats think that the Republicans control all of Congress.
35. lololol1941 February 20, 2013 at 11:55 pm #

    

    even if you could somehow legitimately argue that republicans were the cause of the financial crisis… at least they pass budgets… and that’s why Democrats have made this problem so much worse than it started out as…

    Obama’s zombie socialists.
37. Zac6230 February 21, 2013 at 12:49 am #

    

    not exactly , democrats are billions of times worse
38. Cooper Smith February 21, 2013 at 12:54 am #

    

    They were hoping to regulate government sponsored enterprises. Fannie and Freddie are arms of the government and the Republicans were smart enough to notice that a collapse of those two giants would lead to big financials meltdowns. Fool.
39. rpmdude February 21, 2013 at 1:35 am #

    

    Yes, when it comes to private business (and doesn’t involve health like pharmaceuticals, etc.) but government projects need regulation to ensure against mismanagement, waste, theft, all the things a CEO would look out for. That’s just my take on it,

    Both parties are responsible for the collapse in the economy

    the truth is that democrats are domestic enemy #1.

    Fuxnews is very biased. And why didn’t their Expensive Historian, Newt Gingrich, say anything at the time?
45. jmm3113 February 21, 2013 at 4:06 am #

    

    Sorry to tell you this but there is AMPLE EVIDENCE showing that Bush saw the risk and warned about it several times!
46. Bayhuntr February 21, 2013 at 4:15 am #

    

    Why does it say warning Democrats? Republicans had control of all branches the first 6 years of the Bush Administration? Bush was giving speeches in 2002 pushing more loans to poor people with smaller down payments? Bushes last 2 years he found his veto pin, Democrats couldn’t do much. This is a Republican mess! Franks had no power until 2007. Apparently
    Canadians are getting as stupid as the American right.

    Cry “fowl”?

    Don’t you mean cry “foul”?

    A “fowl” is a chicken, or a turkey. A “fowl” means poultry – birds to eat.

    Don’t they teach you basic English in Australia?
48. darkdavegmail February 21, 2013 at 5:21 am #

    

    Can you prove your assertions that the facts in the video here has been manipulated?
    It’s easy to cry fowl, but on what basis?
49. lthom33 February 21, 2013 at 5:48 am #

    

    “The Credit Crisis: The Bush Administration’s Record of Denial and Regulatory Neglect”

    The above has dates, etc. But, instead of researching the facts, Republican drones believe that a manipulated Youtube video, created by God knows who, has all the facts. With people like you we do not need enemies~
