  • AmericanElitist, on 09/15/2008, -0/+4Update from Yglesias: “And here we see a fundamental difference between the progressive worldview and the conservative worldview. Progressives believe in a robust safety net for everyone. … But conservatives don’t believe in that kind of safety net for regular people — just for the billionaires. Guaranteed health care? Forget it. Guaranteed retirement income? No way. Just let the market work, and when it stops working the executives will be okay and the rest of us will, oh, something or other.”
  • AmericanElitist, on 09/15/2008, -0/+3from the article: "McCain said he will “McCain said he will “replace the outdated and ineffective patchwork quilt of regulatory oversight in Washington” and bring “accountability to Wall Street.” That promise rings hollow considering he has the former lobbyists of AIG, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, and Bank of America on his campaign staff.

    McCain and his party deregulated everything they could get their hands on. If you look at McCain's proposal here “replace the outdated and ineffective patchwork quilt of regulatory oversight in Washington” and bring “accountability to Wall Street.” That shounds to me like another conservative ploy to deregulate even further.
