I blame Obama. If he hadn’t ruined the economy there would be enough money for everyone to have ten fingers.

Oh come one, now. We all know it wasn’t Obama that put us in such a bad situation. If Bush hadn’t hishandled the economy so utterly, people wouldn’t have to cut off their more frivolous assets, and hold onto what they have with such an iron grip.

To have a free market, people must be willing to rsik at least 6/10ths of what they have. It’s obvious that not evnough people are willing to do so, or we’d be finding a LOT more fingers.
