I read the bailout is being extended to “community banks” that have made a disproportionate amount of sub-prime loans. Their toxic assets and those of other banks will be removed, and they will be able to continue making high-risk loans that add to the future toxic waste dump that will in turn have to be bailed out in the future. In other words, this legislation contains no policy change that would curtail the reverse-discrimination approval quota system that banks are currently forced to accept.

Its not Struck , just has a different category . See pp 20-21 of the Draft Bill.

Of course it is not named, but the structure is there to give Acorn and other such organizations massive funding to finance the socialist takeover of America's streets.

Who actually proposed putting ACORN into the bill to receive funding? Does anyone know how to track who wrote what into a bill?

McCain is an idiot. Had he simple denounced the ACORN pork on Friday night, he could have claimed victory for this. It is very disappointing to see the campaign keep their guns holstered for an entire week, as the Democrat-Obama-Subprime fiasco has been exposed everywhere on the web.

ACORN is being investigated for voter fraud.

I am so glad to hear that. About damned time. Do you have a link to further info? Thanks.

I hate the main stream media.

This sack of shat called a bill should be shredded for what it is...a socialized funding of Democrats under the guise of a “financial Pearl Harbor”.

I fear for our Republic...

The one flaw in your statement, subprime loans are already all but nonexistent. Lending standards have returned to a pretty sensible level for new loans.

I saw it on FoxNews today, and they probably have the story on their FOXNEWS.COM website. I knew about it before, and will try to get you a link.

So, why is the amount still 700/billion? Who got ACORN’S money?

[Well friends, obama was there to get his money for Acorn, an investigation is ongoing for voter fraud by Acorn. Obama is closely associated with Acorn.]

How many investigations into dem wrongdoing have there been in the last 16 years? Dozens. Has even ONE accomplished anything?

I think you need to learn what is going on. The bailout is ~700B. It is the paybacks on the covered paper that was to be funneled to ACORN.

Thanks for the correction. I’m wondering how the improved lending standards affects the quota requirement?
