You state that a tool cannot be used for something since the need or use for such a tool predates it's invention; that, sir, is plainly and obviously illogical.

Banks were forced to loan money out to folks , by the Federal Gov't, then Fannie / Freddie bought up those bad accounts, knowing Uncle Sam would back them up.

We've been over this before. Not gonna repeat myself.

Able to enact laws in a single word, despite being in * A VERY SLIM minority in Congress at the time. More powerful than a speeding George Dubya Bush...

The phrase - " Good enough for government work " has its origins in the common view that government workers are over paid, under worked and generally lack any real high level of skill.

No more or less than any other system, and when you're posting in a thread titled " why i hate capitalism ", the implied meaning is that capitalism, more so than any other form of economic system, facilitates evil.

Again, you're wrong, and I'm right. What's that, like 1 billion points to zero ? You can go ahead an quit now. You'll never win.


Never.

Actually he's right. Free enterprise isn't exclusive to capitalism. There's free enterprise in mercantilism, for instance. The major quantifying difference of capitalism is that it is focused on Capital, hence the name.
