Freep Congress to kill $700 Billion Bridge to Nowhere 1-202-224-3121

The whole timing of this seems like a setup to me, that this thing blows up 2 weeks before the 1st Presidential Debate.

I think a lot of left wing financier types from US and around the world like George Soros create this to get the election result they want and get cash to support their left wing causes and can blame it on so called Conservative Capitalism and Bush.

Your Thoughts. Wouldn't you like to know who the short sellers and that set off this latest market chaos.

I’m calling!

But watch out for the socialist and the self-interested around here. They’ll throw out there scare tactics at you.

Why is socialism only good for crooks?

I don’t think they care who is in the white house. It’s about money and power and keeping
Americans at their mercy. Bush is the mouth piece for this show remember.

YEP.

Imagine the odds of this happening now.

Its all a big lie.
After 911 the DOW was down 36 percent from its highs. It down 24 percent from its highs now!

KILL THE BULLSHEET BAILOUT. Not one cent.

What is the question no one is asking? “Will this be the LAST money we have to spend”?

I’m glad someone is on the same page here, we had a much worse situation in 1987 when the stock market went down 35% in a couple of trading days.

There was no bailout then and we came out of it. 2001 was also.

Why would it take $700 billion to bail out less than $100 billion in mortgages.

There is a weird youtube video that was posted 5 months ago saying the economy would collapse in September 2008, probably just a coincidence. It was a 2 or 4 part series, and it was the title that grabbed my attention. I'd post a link, but it's too bizarre, couldn't watch it all. But I wonder, and think an individual by proxy or group may have somehow triggered or orchestrated it last Thursday to sway the election towards Obama. There's got to be a reason Obama is the anointed heir apparent. It's possible he can be blackmailed and manipulated because of something in his secretive past. It's no accident he is positioned where he is now against all odds.

I suspect the person you named is one of the main players. If the Feds find anything, it won't go anywhere. But maybe that's the main reason they're involved, and fraudulent accounting practices are probably just a pretense.

I also found some old CNN clips about the North American Union which I had never taken seriously before but am starting to wonder about that, too.

It's a deliberate attempt to destroy the country against the background of a plethora or national disasters which have further stressed the economy and taken a human toll. It's no accident that people are being primed into diviseness, hatred and fear in this country.

As Shakespeare so sagely penned, "things are seldom what they seem." The full extent of the evil we will never know.

I don't know if I even believe it or not, but it's as good a theory as any.

As I understand it, the morgage fiasco is a separate problem. AIG insured loans that businesses took out. A lot of those loans cannot not be paid, so AIG is on the hook to pay them up. But AIG insured a lot more loans than they have the cash to pay up. So credit is drying up. Banks are afraid to loan to companies, and anyway those companies cannot find insurance for loans.

Because Wallstreet wants the bailout from the Printing Press People, not from Private Investors.

Its like selling your old car to a Millionare or a college student, which one will give the better price?

I hope McCain can come out like Ross Perot with some charts and show Americans what you and I know. That the DOW has been much worse off before, that the Country has been through recessions before, and what did we do, we worked and saved and prayed our way through it.

We didn’t rip up our constitution, and give up.
