I'm sure a lot of people in Congress are thinking what Bernie is thinking...

The mention of 'Ford Industries' (ticker 'FORD') later in the article looks like a screw up.

Of course it is. The only way government can get The People to give up this much with so little control is to get us to BEG for it, which is what we are collectively doing.

Taxpayers will never see the $700 billion again.
The left (and this includes Bush and Paulson) have been using greed to see the plan, telling concerned voters that “the government could actually MAKE money on this plan.”
This is a lie, because the Government will not collect the debt on these homes, under the Democrats, the Government will forgive the loans, and the ‘rich’ (i.e., taxpayers) will have bought nice middle-class homes for the poor.

I screwed up the mention of the screw up. Should be 'Forward Industries.'

Look at the statistics. There’s a new era of big government every election year.

New era of BIG government??? When the hell was it small?? Bush has done as much as anyone to ENLARGE government!! Now, when the socialists get full control, you can bet your last ruble that it will continue to grow. Show me a Dimocrat and I will show you a liar, thief, thug, cheat, anti-American, anti-military, big government, big taxing, vote theft rigging cheating etc., SOB.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., claimed, "This can bring about a turn toward a new era. If we have the money to bail out Wall Street, we can provide funding for health care, childhood poverty, infrastructure and sustainable energy."

Bernie, Bernie, Bernie.. we don't *have* the money. We'll be borrowing it, probably at premium rates (for the lender), and probably from the Chinese and Saudis. My Grandchildren, and probably their children as well, will likely still be paying the interest when they are old and gray, like me.
