Helping small banks create business loans when the big banks won't is a great idea. To say it's a Bush policy that is bad is bean soup and policy shilling for the big banks.
When insurance companies ( Oil companies as well) sound off, lobby or just try to protect their interests they are "Evil". When unions, groups like ACORN and others progressives sound off they are "grass root voices of the people".
If I could buy insurance across state lines and only the coverage I want then there would be true competition and cost would be lowered. Health insurance is just that INSURANCE! Not health care. If my cell phone service provider mistreats me, I move to another service. Relax the old laws on buying insurance that meets my needs (don't need maternity or drug treatment coverage) from another state, true competition will lower cost.
Everything the Gov't gets involved in becomes political and poorly managed- remember the laws to lower cable TV costs?
Every cost projection for social programs since the great society has been enacted missed the mark 100 fold. So not happy with your Insurance Company? Find a better one (there are hundreds of them) Not happy with Socialized Health Care? No where to go.
Mr Plimer listed a hobby in his bio until recently. I think he removed it when he became infamous....err famous! The hobby was an ore-body in Broken Hill - a lead and silver mine. Hmmmmmm........perhaps it was the lead ingestion that induced him to write Heaven and Mirth?
I know Bush started it, but bailing out private businesses with taxpayer's money is an insidious idiotic thing to do! Obama just exaserbated the trouble Bush got us into. Vote them all out!

So - I believe I see your position clearly now -
Don't confuse me with the facts, I already have my mind made up!
One should take a stand in life, I guess that is as good as any.
