OT - protest the bailout - Page 2

Poppa,once again it's all about scaring the crap out of the American public forcing them into thinking the sky is falling and can't be stopped unless we dig deeper into our wallets while allowing the fat cats on Wall Street to continue with business as usual.  The oil speculators have already robbed us blind, now we are giving carte blanche to the rest of those greedy crooks to do the same? Can you say robber barons? 

Scare tactics have been Dubya's strong suit for the last 8 years. - those terrorists are going to get us again if we don't crush Iraq...yadda, yadda, yadda. We fear the government while quite the opposite should be true. I had to laugh about all the chest thumping over increasing the FDI insured amount from 100K to 250K. Do these morons actually think that "beer drinking average Joe" has that much money in his savings accounts?  Millions of people in this country have no health insurance, some are left to die on the floors of ER rooms in hospitals throughout the country.  There are more and more homeless on the streets every year. How will they benefit from raising the limit? What a crock. It benefits the banking industry directly by encouraging the rich to not withdraw large amounts of money and Wall Street indirectly by having the money available to them build their stairway to heaven behind close doors. Sure, let's be nice guys and let them continue status quo. I don't think so,

Maybe it's time for another Boston Tea Party.

Once again, alot of pissing and moaning and no alternative solutions given.    I'm not saying I'm for or against the "bailout", but I'm not going to whine and cry unless I actually have something to say.  

Doing nothing will hurt like hell for a time while the markets correct but it will be nothing compared to the long term disaster that we will see if this is passed.  There has never been a time in history where government interference in the markets has had a good effect.  I would cite Japan in the 70's.  They still call the "the lost decade."

They want you to think this is the only solution...

Smart people know better.

There aren't enough of us.

A free market ?  

Believe what you will....  our government would never lie to us.

Baaaaaah.....................................

I'm buying stock in KY and Preparation H.

I dunno.  Holden 17th District of PA has alot of pressure on his arse. The very fellow horseman who petitioned him to office .. are the very fellow horserman opposing this Bill. 

I can't even imagine his thoughts of saying AYES !!!  If he does ... you can bet your bottom dollar he'll never step backside again as a fellow horseman. 

Wonder what Guedo and Carlino think ...  LMAO 

Ohhhhhh ... the PRESSURE on da floor  !!!!

Don, why would you consider our concern about this bailout whining and crying?

Many independent financial experts feel that, in time, the markets will self-correct without an influx of money from the feds via our wallets.  I'm  not an expert, but am willing to take the chance that they are correct rather than blindly forking over an extra 2K in taxes next year while CEO's are not paying one red cent in restitution. They did the crime, let them serve the time. 

We may have to understand that every family does not need a 5,000 square foot home with a master suite, a master bath with a soaking tub,  a heated pool, professional landscaping, and a playroom the size of Madison Square Garden.  Those who have overextended themselves with credit cards and mortgages they can't afford will have to adjust their life styles in order to live within their means.  That may mean starting life over in tract  housing or a maufactured home. This housing crisis may be our wake up call.
