Flashermac Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Former President Jimmy Carter said on Friday the "atrocious economic policies" of the Bush administration had caused the worst global financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Carter told reporters on a stopover in Brussels that "profligate spending," massive borrowing and dramatic tax cuts since President George W. Bush took office in 2001 were behind the market turmoil and economic crisis. "I think it's because of the atrocious economic policies of the Bush administration," said the 84-year-old Democrat, who served in the White House from 1977-1981 during a period of high inflation and energy crisis. Whoever wins next month's U.S. presidential election would inherit economic problems that would force them to postpone implementing some of their proposed reforms, he said. "The economic situation is an entrenched problem. It is going to take years to correct what has been done economically," Carter said, adding he hoped Democrat Barrack Obama would win and immediately improve Washington's image in the world. ...

USVirgin Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Carter started the ball rolling with deregulating the airlines, so I don't know where he gets off blaming the Reps for following the same behavior. He should have, instead, promoted his brother Billy for the Rep vice-presidential nominee. That guy would have been a hellovalot better than Palin. The original "Joe six pack."
