Those who bought the securities had nothing but greed in their eyes only seeing the potential “money” without ever stopping to see if people would actually pay it. Then of course as long as they could sell it to some other greedy sucker it was OK for them.
It is a pyramid scheme.

Heterosexuals go around thinking that they should get all of the government perks because somehow they are unable to make any choices.

YOU ARE DISGUSTING! leave Bloomberg’s heritate alone, idiot!

YOU’RE A DAMN JEW-HATING RACIST AND DON’T BELONG ON A PRO-HILLARY PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATIC, MIDDLE OF THE ROAD SITE SUCH AS THIS.

GET THE HELL OUT AND GO BACK TO YOUR REDNECK ROOTS IN NOGODSCOUNTRY! UGH!!!!!

Thanks for the “Want Mama to bail out” youtube link with MARCY KAPTUR! What a woman! What a Democratic Voice! What intelligence, compassion and guts!…
If only Obamarama had 1/100th of her attributes…

You go, Marcy!

And i loved her analogy of the “Big bank boys running home to Mama for the big bucks….while bilking the taxpayers”!

You rock, man! No, it ain’t “Socialist” to want gun control and it aint’ Socialist to demand Universal health care for all Americans. Both should be godgiven rights, in a sane democratic society.
But unfortunately, friend, we live in a jungle of greed and the rules are dictated by Wall Street not Main Street.

Countries like Finland, Norway, Sweeden and most notably our neighbor Canada have Universal health care - and prosper while Americans get screwed by thier Wallstreet Congress and Senate!

Social Democratic Party is what’s needed, bro!

Cut the crap! F*** you!

Did you go to Kindergarten in Hawaii with the stutteringly monosyllabic Obama? Buy a lexicon for use in an extreme right-or-left wing rag….

And guess what? Since 1965, the major cause of Bankruptcies and foreclosures has NOT been….MEDICAL BILLS!

And foreign companies are flocking to Canada to start their operations, shunning Dallas and L.A…..’cause they got a “healthy and govern-subsidized Work force”!….

UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE is not a Socialist principle. It should be the god-given right of every citizen. Hillary has known this for decades. And she knows that in order to stimulate a sickeringly stagnant Economy, you need to introduce stimulus via spending on Universal Health Care!

Or is it better to play socialist by bailing out Wall Street private Greeders? Now’s the time for bold action–and it’s too bloddy bad that Obamyopia and McSame do not provide leadership worth xeroxing a dollar bill on…..

Yes. Marcy Kaptur should be on everyone’s V-P list!
We need strong, intelligent and compassionate represenantives.
And yes, let’s get the WallStreet Predators’ assets “all the way down to their Mercedes tires”!!

Right on, Marcy! You rock, girl! If only Barry Megalomaniac had one-tenth of your grit….
Marcy would have made an excellent member of Hillary Clinton White House staff….

“Rant: The War on Renters” (warning, may offend those who don’t want to know our HRC was a bad-mortgage bailout fan; I’m not pleased, but again, I vote for the package, not the single issue) — http://reason.com/news/show/126798.html

I have heard late tonight on the news from FOX that everyone is lined up to vote tomorrow evening on a bailout that is acceptable to house republicans who stood strong and opposed the Paulson “suggestion” (and its iterations).

I am not even in your district. I cannot ‘vote you out’ at any point if you support this “new” bailout.

A governmental financial act of saving poor investment decisions is a shift into a kind of political philosophy, which in a past era our revolutionary Constitution was borne upon. This 700 billion dollar bailout and doing NOTHING are not the only alternatives. Earlier on, I watched you and other brave, sound fiscal thinkers propose at least two other ideas:

1. Gov’t buys preferred stock in the parts of Wall Street holding the “innovative” paper while they unwind the mortgages;
2. Gov’t insures the mortgages, Wall Street pays the premium, while the real value of the mortgages, and thus the paper, slowly unwinds.

These are sound fiscal ideas. The media is not reporting them and that’s okay with me so long as you’re still supporting them. Please stay strong and hold your group. They’re terrifying everyone with the media but most of us know it. As I told your financial committee staffer on Sunday morning, I’m one of those PUMA people. Which makes me a Republican for this vote (+ down ticket races). This issue only fuels us more. We are WAY out in front of Country First - we’re country before party!

Please…Country First! No bailout!!

Millions of people are now underwater on their mortgages.

According to one of the google headlines that passed under my nose today, Phoenix housing prices are dropping at a 29% annualized rate.

No. This is Bizarro world. But I do love NQ. These PUMAs are too funny beyond words.

All ya gotta do is leave that basement, Kelvin. Get a life. Cut the apron strings.
