Bribe taking.....?? How about just mis-management?

Hey I know and you know...there's funny $$$ going on here...but let's not let these Bass Tards off with "just taking bribes"...: )

Personally I want Hari-Cari rules...but I will run thru a liberal infested forest naked.....if any Lib would actually do the "right" thing and......hell just admit guilt.

I'm easy...............

FRegards,

A much better plan, IMHO, and it addresses some of the underlying root causes of the problem.

I agree.

This looks like another round of guess whats in my proposal.
That's why I wanted to know who is crafting the House version. It would give me some relief to know who is cobbling this together. Is it the conservatives led by Mike Pence, or the trio of Cantor, Blunt and Boehner. The Senate version looks like its not a clean bill. Contains some unrelated items.

Watching Glenn Beck tonight...he made an excellent point about the Congress acting “right away” to fix this thing. I think someone needs to come up with a smarter plan.

He also had Amity Shales (sp.?) on...she wrote the book “The Forgotten Man” (which I just purchased, but I haven’t read yet). She said the problems we’re having now are similar in that the government overreacted to the crash in 1929. She said we should learn from our mistakes then, and not do the same haphazard thing this time.

They showed plenty of life yesterday.

Something even Dr. Frankenstein would be proud of. Fortunately enough of us like minded-people sent "electricity" to our comatose elected officials.

These freaking socialists want to bury the fact the alternative to a bail out plan is called the free market.

Sure, it is most improbable that it'll make it into the final version.

But just to see the AMT addressed is a great thing to see.

Gives me a spark of hope that real AMT reform may surface in the not-too-distant future.

But first things first. Get these markets stabilized.

The senate votes tomorrow evening on essentially the same bill with a section on FDIC

What is the section on FDIC?

McCain is likely to back the senate plan. It’s more bipartisan, more friendly.

This House GOP alternative is for political purposes only. It is unlikely that Pelosi will allow it to obtain a floor vote at all.

-- This is the Senate Bill. --

No. It's not. This is a radically different set of ideas compared with the Paulson/Gregg/Dodd/Frank bill. The Congress is going authorize the government to buy up to 700 thousand million dollars worth of toxic paper, to get it off lending banks books, so the banks can resume lending so the public can go that (700 billion) farther into debt (and be happy).

however the SENATE IS WORKING ON THE SUPER DOOPER DOUBLE SECRET PLAN to look like wimp and a wuss.

The senate has its own plan.

I am talking with someone about the Senate bill, not the House bill. I never said it was the house Bill.

Damned right! Cut or remove every tax and or government expenditure that can possibly be cut! Dump the corp tax! Dump the gas tax! Dump the drilling ban! Dump the environmental roadblocks and make our country productive again! This is a national emergency after all. Government and special interests should do their fair share of sacrificing if America is to be saved!

See, they didn’t have the heart to expose our RINO President as a RINO.

How about,

“Everyone get your crap on the table so everyone can see?”

Transparency is the only ballgame that can be won at this point.

The insurance gimmick won’t work. Throwing money at the banks won’t work (they’ll just hoard it, they won’t lend it).

The banking system is dying of cancer, and instead of the necessary chemotherapy, the gov’t wants to hand out $700B worth of medical marijuana and call it a day.
