McCain on banking and health
OK, a correspondent directs me to John McCain’s article, Better Health Care at Lower Cost for Every American, in the Sept./Oct. issue of Contingencies, the magazine of the American Academy of Actuaries. You might want to be seated before reading this.
Here’s what McCain has to say about the wonders of market-based health reform:
Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.
So McCain, who now poses as the scourge of Wall Street, was praising financial deregulation like 10 seconds ago — and promising that if we marketize health care, it will perform as well as the financial industry!>>>

Hey, this has all hit the fan this week. I believe that when this all shakes out, the crooks will go to jail.
I believe that if someone receives a campaign contribution to get a senator to keep regulators off their backs, and then in return regulators were kept off of their backs THAT IS A BRIBE. I believe that in the same scenario the senator did nothing to keep regulators off their backs and actually spoke on the floor of the house AGAINST the crooks, he did not take a bribe. Simple
<<<....greased Democrat palms and walked away with millions. >>>
Any evidence of this?

People on this board have made allegations of Obama accepting bribes, so I think since you've just done that, it is your responsibility to provide some proof.

If there is a quid pro quo involved it IS A BRIBE. Franklin Raines had to resign for cooking the books at Fannie May but still walked away with 20 MILLION DOLLARS and protection from congress. What do you call HIS campaign contributions if not bribes?
The people really need to stand up against this. We are the ones stuck with the bill. The American people should demand accountability!
