(in eyores voice) You’re welcome. *forced smile*
The taxpayers do not have to bailout these banks. There is already a program in place to keep the financial markets afloat with liquidity. It’s called the free market. And who should be paying will be those who took on the most risk .... the shareholders first and then the senior bondholders ......
I will never vote for any politician who does bailouts.
Milstein wants to socialize private risk by converting these subprime and non-conforming mortgage bonds into taxpayer-guaranteed bonds. You see, we already have the system Milstein proposes. It’s called Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Now, these scared and screwed financiers want to extend that to cover all their bad subprime and other non-conforming mortgage bets not already guaranteed by the government. Sure…. people should just perpetuate this credit bubble longer and carry life-time mortgages and become life-time debt slaves, so long as it saves the banks. If you didn’t a buy house, dudn’t matter because you’re paying taxes to guarantee principal on someone else’s house so that bond investors don’t get screwed.
* * * People, you need to get off your lazy butts and do something as these proposals are nothing short of class warfare. I don’t care if you write to the New York Times or picket your congressman’s office,* . . . These type of elitist actions demand full attention, more so than the UAE ports deal and the illegal immigration bill that infuriated so many Americans. Milstein’s solution makes us all debt slaves whether or not we bought a house, and it continues the culture of debt and credit growth that has undermined our society.
oh, meant to ping you...see my excerpt also...post #8.
There is no way we are going to change that, IMO. The majority of American people don't intentionally change anything, for the good or the worse. They tend to go along as if it was a free ride.
If they did intentionally change anything, there wouldn't be illegals crawling all over this nation. Nor would there be a crowd in DC that thinks they own us all.
Psst. They do own us because we refuse to fight back.
Yeah...I know. And they do own us all really, because, as you noted, "we" don't fight back.
Yet another fight to be had with congress.
Well it just figures since the “free traders” have made an art out of sticking it to the American citizen for the costs of their dastardly agenda, why shouldn’t the investment bankers do it too?
The subprime lending fiasco started with the “free traders” making deals at Doha and Monterrey to give loans to illegal aliens to buy homes here as a way to facilitate the erasing the borders and our sovereignty.
Exactly right, on ALL points...each and every one.
Everythig’s fine...wonder why the bailout plan?
New tagline
lol....hmmmmmmmm
They just want some extra cushion. : )
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
:)
Say, it might be advisable that I have that spray....how much will it cost me to don that? : )
