"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Where is Failed Speaker Nancy Pelosi demanding an investigation of this whole thing? Something stinks and it looks like it’s the Democrats.........again. If there were anything to gain politically by pointing fingers at the GOP, the Dems would be demanding a full investigation ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. . . . Corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."-- President Abraham Lincoln, letter to Col. William F. Elkins, Nov. 21, 1864
Night and day difference between Demint and McCain’s valet, Grahamnesty......
To the gov bailout.
Great, at least one in congress is opposed to this POS bill.
I'm still going skiing every day this winter (Insallah) no matter the value of my portfolio.
Good to know there are some conservatives around...this bailout stinks.
We would be better off with no bailout. There is not guarantee that a bailout would fix the problems with bad loans...and the whole bailout deal would be very inflationary.
Of course, its the liberal globalists who want the bailout...since most of that bailout money would be given to foreigners and foreign banks
Paulson and the banking committee speak in private only, and they offer NO real information. Notice just how many times that Paulson says uh, uh, uh, er, er. They know that if the American people really knew the truth, that they would be shaking in their boots. Paulson has not brought anything out into the open. All we know is that the “sky is falling”, if we do not do quickly, whatever Paulson says.
A year ago on this forum I asked why we can’t just convert people with ARMs to fixed rates, or have partial interest forgiveness, loan mods, etc. We did not. And now we are bailing out the stupid companies with perhaps 50% of the bailout going to foreign governments/investors.
Thank God for DeMint.
Kill the deal. If the Dow falls 2,000 then so be it. The buck stops here. America needs to get its financial house in order.
All of that has been available. People are just too stupid to do it.
“We would be better off with no bailout.”
Doing nothing is better? It pretty clear the pain of doing nothing will be greater. The credit system got into a meltdown mode. What’s your alternative?
Here’s some ideas:

“Of course, its the liberal globalists who want the bailout...since most of that bailout money would be given to foreigners and foreign banks”
Not so.
This is mostly about bailing out the credit system itself.
“If the Dow falls 2,000 then so be it. The buck stops here. America needs to get its financial house in order.”
These statements are contradictory. We cannot and will not get our ‘house in order’ by going through another depression.
Cool video, but there are typically only (short) lift lines on Saturdays in MT. The singles line on Saturdays allows yet another day of yo-yo skiing.
