I'm not going to say I agree with all of your positions, Centrist-Libertarian Railbuff, but I applaud you.

Unlike the majority of folks on here, you came on and presented a solid arguement for your position not just hot air. (And, rightfully took me down for a post where I did just that... reacted with nothing but hot air myself.)

At first blush, I do think you are conveniently ignoring the roles of the Bushes in our present crises, and lumping together Roosevelt and Hoover in the Depression seems like it may open you up to a few questions on logic when their responses were so completely and utterly different from each other, but I admit I'll need to do a little research to be able to respond properly.
