And that is the truth of the matter.
Except for the factor that many of the borrowers/lenders were illegal aliens. They came over here with nothing to loose and everything to gain at my expense.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are semi gov’t. Is the FBI investigatng itself?
What laws have been specifically broken?
Currently the Republicans have 49 Senate seats, so they'd have to lose all their seats that are up this election for the 'Rats to get to 70.
A little while ago Boehner and the Repub leaders came before the cameras. They looked like whipped dogs. The bill will pass with bipartisan support. Worse, Obama is getting all the credit while the Media Whores are laughing at McCain. Obama is now 10 points ahead of McCain according to quoted polls. Not a great night to be a patriot.
There is no Pub version. The pubs folded on TV about an hour ago. Surreal.
The last I heard on the local news from my Democrat Representative David Obey is that he would NOT support the bailout. I don’t know if he has caved, but what you are saying about Mass. is true here in Northern Wisconsin, too.
People of all political stripes - Dem, Republican, etc... are all against this.
Here’s the truth:
The Dems have stated that they could pass this bill without Republican support. If this is true - why haven’t they done so already? The TRUTH is that they DON’T have the support of even their fellow Democrats (especially any that are looking to save their behinds for re-election this year, or in the future!)
Seriously? Does anyone know WHY they would all of a sudden drop their fight?
