Banks, which are losing billions because many card holders aren't paying anything, seek OK to forgive up to 40% of strapped consumers' debts

Sooooooooooooo, those of us who pay for what we purchase and go without what we cannot afford will now have to pay for those who don’t??????????????????????????
BULL roar! Write your reps in Congress and say NO!
Oh goody! Besides not paying my mortgage and getting help with gasoline, I won’t have to pay back my credit card debt. Thanks America-—what a country!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAIL TO THE,
oh gawd, I can't say it, it's blasphemous. On second thought, don't pay my credit cards, I don't want Obama to do anything for me, it's like taking blood money.
WTF?? Again being penalized for living within your means?!
F-this... I’m quitting my job and maxing my credit cards. It seems you get rewarded for being irresponsible.
Freakin’ a... I suppose those of us that were responsible will be paying for this too! I would say more but then I would have the men in black at my door and I still have kids in the house...Bastards!
What a country, you say in a Yackoff Smirnoff accent.
That was how my brain read it anyway, LOL
Hail to the Thief?
This is silly. Obama will realize that if we just add another 0 to all of our money, old debts will be much easier to pay.
That makes as much sense as the mortgage bailout. The people who live in smaller houses because that is what they can afford are being saddled with the debts of those who bought poorly-constructed McMansions that they couldn't pay for. Why shouldn't those who budget carefully and delay purchases they can't afford be saddled with the debts of those who spend up to their credit card limits? Or are we bailing out the stupid banks that send each of us 6-10 pre-approved credit cards a week? Is anyone in government even going to bother explaining why we should rescue the irresponsible banks rather than letting those banks go under to be purchased by the well-managed banks that have the standards to run profitably and the assets to buy out the losers who are going under?
After we went off the 700 billion dollar cliff, who did not see this coming?
There ya go, that'll work!!!!!
Silly me! I feel so stoopid, paying my cc bills, mortgage, etc. If only I had been less responsible ...
Looter-in-Chief!
Hey, it worked for Zimbabwe!
Does anyone want me to pick them up a new plasma tv? I am off to circuit city! Dont worry its on me and cost is not an issue, I am going to open a store account and send the bill directly to 1600 pennsylvania ave. SWEET!
I think you somehow missed the point. You'll be paying your's and their's...
Yeah but I bet they add another zero to your debt so it’s a wash ....
Can I get 40% off my mortgage?
Hail to the THIEF, don’t wanna work? get RELIEF!
