Published: January 18, 2008 Bush also said that economic volatility was to be expected. "In a vibrant economy, markets rise and decline," he said. "We cannot change that fundamental dynamic. As a matter of fact, eliminating risk altogether would also eliminate the innovation and productivity that drive the creation of jobs and wealth in America." I understand its only 25 million to get a 3.2 mile gravel road built in alaska, lets put them in charge next.

George Bush said 6 years ago he was going to create 5 million new homeowners. So convinced was he that he was right that he continues to believe that anything that could walk in through the door of FNMA is the definition of a good risk. It has always been his problem that he cannot ever concieve that he is wrong. Characteristically, he sees only that this whole bailout plan is his way of preserving the mortgages for the deadbeats. He is blind to what it is going to do to the constitution, our free way of life, the capitalist system, or the morale of every honest taxpayer.

Fraud by CEO's is not capitalism, it's a character deficiency. Capitalism since the "mixed economy" was instituted has been on the road to here."Deregulation" per se was a joke,a "strawman", try to start a bank or an airline.As with taxes the real desired result is power whatever the "problem/solution"."New Deal","Great Society", now the "Big Bailout", welcome to "the mask is off".Since the Constitution became a "living document" and anything could be justified the spiral down to socialism, a political system, brought us to today. Who to blame? Choices are ignorance or corruption.

Bunning (and/or his PR people) are remarkably ignorant of the meaning and significance of Bastille Day. Which is of course not a surprise - he is, after all, a Republican. Neither is it a surprise that he (as well as the reactionary loonies posting on this board) are totally ignorant of the meaning and significance of socialism.

Elizabeth, I just heard an interview from a retired banker that opened up another thread in this debacle. He brought up a possible root cause for how we got here and I am not hearing anything in this bailout addressing why we got here. The premise is made that under the CRA (Community Reinvestment Act) financial institutions were forced as a part of doing business to make bad loans in the sub prime market. The banker mentioned ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) and other such groups, for forcing these institutions under the CRA to make these loans. In 1995 Clinton relaxed the regulation to enable these groups and in 2003 Bush tried to stabilize the situation. If permitted, to pass in 2003, the CRA changes may have prevented the current meltdown. So I am asking you to raise the question, what is included in this package to address the root cause so that any fix we put into place doesn’t just patch the past, but fixes it going forward. Regards, Dan W.

MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE WORKED HARD FOR OUR MONEY AND HAD TO MANAGE OUR MONEY FOR RETIREMENT, RAISING OUR CHILDREN, & COLLEGE. WASHINGTON AND WALL STREET ARE POACHERS. WE ARE CURRENTLY BEING CHARGED AN INTEREST RATE OF 25.99% ON A CREDIT CARD. IF WE HAVE TO BAIL OUT POACHERS - THEY SHOULD BE CHARGED 25.99% INTEREST ON THEIR BAILOUT LOAN. WASHINGTON HAS NOT BEEN UP FRONT WITH US FOR EIGHT YEARS. I SAY TO WASHINGTON AND WALL STREET COME ON OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE WHERE WE LIVE AND HAVE SQUEEZED THE NICKLE UNTIL THE BUFFALO SHITS. YOU ARE DISGUSTING GREEDY PEOPLE. MAY GOD FOR GIVE YOU. JOYCE
