Dick’s retired off his Broadcom and Exodus stock so he’s right to be promoting tough love. Tough love baby. Burn it down. The pea pickers and Dennis Kucinich are officially on the same page. You done good boys.
Thank you, Dick Armey! God bless you Sir!
Dick Armey - there is a welcome voice from the past.
Adding this one to my collection:

He can be Patraeus’ Vice President after Palin bows out.
Hehehe. You gotta remember the sage words of Reagan’s OMB wunderkind, David Stockman, when he said “None of us really knows what’s going on with these numbers”.
All I know is I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
No, the MSM would truly and assiduously attack Dick Armey for just his, “Barney F__” (instead of saying Barney Frank) verbal slip up, and that verbal slip up alone would defeat him, thanks to the MSM.
The Supreme Court should weigh in on this now, before the democrats come up with another Bill.

Ordinarily I would agree 100% with Armey on this, but, banks didn't willingly make loans to unqualified borrowers. The government made them extend loans to low and no income borrowers. The government, meaning congress, bears the blame for this mess but the banks and wall street are the ones taking the heat.
I agree with Dick Armey. Why should the government tie itself up in knots to help the markets. Restore confidence but do it responsibly.
I just saw Rep. Culberson (R-Tx.) on CNBC swat a bunch of CNBC liberal talking heads with the reasons why he opposed the bill and solutions to the problems that won’t burden his daughter and future grandchildren. He spoke eloquently and clearly. We need more of this and I would love to see Dick Armey and Rep. Culberson continuing to put out the “fiscal conservative” positions. I had not seen him before, but he spoke well about this bailout. More great conservatives from Texas. Great stuff.
Thank you. This is a trap set by socialists. They want armageddon in the markets, people jumping in front of trains. They want the new, new deal. We are set to give it to them on a silver platter. If the markets drop another 15% there will be 60 plus democrat senators with a sitting democrat president. I guarantee it.
And is the answer to the problem MORE government intervention in the market, or
PERHAPS the best thing to do would be to REPEAL the Community Reinvestment Act and the other idiocies which led us down this path?
The answer certainly CANNOT be MORE GOVERMENT INTERVENTION.
Here, LESS is definately MORE.
If it was a Republican congress you would have gone for it.
The Internet is the great equalizer. They need to hear/read Dick Armey’s piece.
They’ll understand and vote accordingly.
Dick Armey Bump!
I think the following needs to be done:
1. Repeal the Community Reinvestment Act.
2. Outlaw ARMs.
3. Revise Sarbine-Oxley on mark to market rules, or perhaps repeal Sarbine-Oxley.
4. Allow lenders to charge higher interest rates to subprime borrowers to cover their risks.
5. Outlaw leverage above a certain level.
Wasn’t that Al D’Amato of New York who said that?
Repeal Sarbanes-Oxley. That was another GROSS government over-reaction to something the market took care of perfectly.
Enron no longer exists. Arthur Anderson no longer exists.
Problem solved.
We don’t need the government to “fix” this for us.
The market will do just fine.
