Isn't amazing how the left squeals like stuck pigs at the prospect of spending a few billion on the military, but giving away hundreds of billions on failed housing subsidy schemes is SOP!
Pure and unadulterated thievery.
Hmmmh! 700 billion - Isn’t that the same amount the democrats give to our enemies overseas when they refuse to drill for oil. The 700 billion bailout is tragic. I’d like to see those people who got loans they were incapable of paying, tossed out on their butts with their household belongings right behind them. Put a lot of those lawmakers?, lawyers snarks, ceo’s, mortgage officers, etc. in jail for a very long time. Its time to VOTE THEM ALL OUT OF OFFICE!
I agree..... I can't help but feel this thing is taking us down a fascist road.... and how many congressmen have the fortitude to stand against this?!?
BINGO!
I believe it’s mainly the Democrats blocking the drilling. I say vote THEM out of office! It’s also mainly the Democrats robbing the Fannie/Freddie cookie jars and cooking the books. Vote THEM out and prosecute the thieves and bribe takers! Starting with Senator Dodd!
Fascism, pure and simple. This is not hyperbole. This needs to be killed with extreme prejudice. If this passes, I implore everyone to move ALL liquid assets OUT of America.
This is going to lead to thievery beyond any comprehension.
They need to release all of the convenience store and bank robbers right now. Why? Because the guys doing this will never see a jail and they are going to make off with every dime in America.
Further the government must now be assumed to be more corrupt than the government of Mexico.
I'm calling the Financial Services Committee Minority office first thing Monday morning to find out where the Republicans stand on this thing......
We need to keep this drumbeat up. This is not socialism. It is African style crony capitalism. The diseases of Norway and Denmark are not the diseases of Zimbabwe, Nigeria and the Congo.
The worst part of this is that we bail out one set of crooks and then hand the acquired assets over to another gang of wall street crooks who are engaged to act as "agents" of the government. The last thing these corrupt crooks want to do is to be put on civil service salaries.
I think McCain could assure his election IF from now to election day he screamed about about abolishing the 50-mile and ANWR restrictions.....I don’t think he will, though.
Chuck will get right on protecting us. Has he found a parking place for his Mercedes.
All this proves to me is that the banking system, as we know it, is dead and gone. If the federal gov’t needs the kind of power that designates private banks as “agents” for the federal government, then the reality of the situation is probably this:
1. The system has already blown up.
2. As long as “money” can circulate through the credit markets, institutions can remain standing on thin air while the government assimilates these institutions under their wing of “protection”. The gov’t will simply override the effects of a total collapse by discouraging panic and artificially injecting trust into the system.
3. But really, the banking system has effectively evaporated. At least that’s what this bill tells me. If it’s not gone, this is the greatest power grab of the executive branch since the CIvil War and the quality of our representative republican form of government just got downgraded like AIG.
IMO it is rapidly becoming advisable to have a horde of actual cash in the mattress, because the universe of possible October surprises is much wider than we think.
That's precisely what has happened.....
Not cash..... the value may drop and we may end up paying $100 for a candy bar....
These are the same people who brought us the IRS.
Uncle Sam: "And personally, I don't care!"
What a lousy failure this congress and white house has been.
Damn, I can't wait till Bush puts that pen down.
