George W. Bush And Henry Paulson Saved Country From Depression
Posted: Mar 22, 2012
Oh.my.gosh. Mittens must be smoking dope!
ARBUTUS, Md. -- At a town hall here on Wednesday, Mitt Romney claimed that the economic policies of former President George W. Bush and then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson were responsible for keeping the United States out of a full-scale depression.
"I keep hearing the president say he's responsible for keeping the country out of a Great Depression," Romney said in front of around 200 people at an American Legion post. "No, no, no, that was President George W. Bush and Hank Paulson."
The crowd, which overflowed into the parking lot about an hour before the event, seemed enthusiastic about Romney's message and applauded for his comments on less regulation and removing the "heavy hand of government."
The attendees also laughed good-naturedly at a potentially awkward moment for Romney. While asking Romney a question, a business owner joked about the candidate's failed business ventures -- likely companies owned by Bain Capital -- and told Romney, "I haven't failed yet." "You will," said Rommey to laughter, before clarifiying that failure was "in the nature of the private sector."

were honorable men who put their country first in a time of crisis.

In April 1980, Reagan was still battling George H.W. Bush for the GOP nomination, while Sen. Edward M. Kenned ...

Bush went on Christmas vacation in a way that stands in direct contrast to President Barack Obama. “[H]ere’s the thing: In December, we never left Washington, D.C., until the day after Christmas. Never. Mr. Bush and his wife, Laura, would always depart the White House a few days before the holi ...

My little 3-year-old yorkie/chihuahua, Odis, woke up one morning and was unable to feel his legs. He was kind of dragging his feet and walking on the tops of his back feet. He was in terrible pain. I raced him to my regular vet. He said Odis had severe spinal problems and would need to be put down or have a $3,500 surgery with no guarantee that he would even survive. They loaded him up with painkillers and told me to bring him in the next day so they could put ...

I had to use one of those silicone oven mits to get the pizza out and throw ...

I'm so tired all the time and dread working. I'm lucky to have a job and naturally can't quit it but does anyone have any suggestions on how to pull yourself out of this funk?

Depression Is NotMay 20, 2016
I remember at the worst of my depression, people would say, even church goers that I was feeling sorry for myself. Then I would get the you are not a victim. I beg to differ about the victim. At any rate, I got mad when people would say that I was feeling sorry for myself and I stopped going to church if the pastor would say that in a sermon. That is one of the worst things anyone can say to someone. It is not guilt I felt as much as anger that my own Christian brothers and sisters in Chri ...
Depression, Etc.Jan 18, 2015
If I am not mistaken there were those in the Bible who suffered from depression and they followed God. Now my opinion is that it does not help anyone to say to them that they are having a pity party. That person is trying to explain how they got to feeling as they do. Others can depress you with their actions albeit deliberately or whatever. To criticize anyone going through a hard time by saying this turns me off. I have heard preachers on TV start talking about pity parties. Okay, lastl ...
MT DepressionSep 08, 2015
Anyone just sit and cry doing MT - not because the report is depressing but because you are just so down about your job?

By that I mean you are and "older" MT and really do not want to train for anything new but can't quite retire for a few years. It just stinks. ...

Depression And The LordJan 10, 2015
I have a question. A deeply religious person told me once that people who have depression, have it because they haven't found the Lord. Explain, please. Does that mean (in their belief )that people with depression are being punished?? Also, I know some very deeply religious Christians who have found the Lord and still suffer terribly from depression. In other words, they found the Lord, but still have depression. So, that doesn't make sense to me. No Bible quotes, please. ...
Has Anyone Ever Taken A Homeopathic Medicine For Depression?Apr 14, 2011
I've tried several of the traditional medications for depression - Prozac, Effexor, and Zoloft. They work for a while, I had some side effects, but then they stopped working and the depression came back every time. I've heard more cons than pros about St. John's Wort, so I'm not sure I want to go that route, but would like to hear from anyone else who has tried the homeopathic route and got good results (or bad, so I know what to stay away from!) Thank ...
