Most people buy a house that they can afford. Why should we help bail out someone whose tastes are bigger that their pocket books ?
Why did she vote against the cluster bomb ban in 1996?
Sorry, why did she vote against the cluster bomb ban in 2006? :)
'Why did she vote against the cluster bomb ban in 1996?'
Because they are a useful weapon in our arsenal.
...she needs 3 million swing votes. This is perfect, because, even if it does not pass, she gets a favorable rating from the folks it would have helped.
Notice, Obama didn't think about it.
Just how much nanny care do banks need, for god's sakes?
It's real simple, boys and girls. If the government does not rescue the banks, the economy will crumble like a stale cookie. Of course, the economy is going to crumble anyway, but that will be down the road--after the truly serious inflation starts. It ain't gonna be no fun.
i think hillary is a clone to bill thus billary is born.
and their love child is this total idot sp4 AKA bumbling idiot # 2
bush being # 1 of coarse
just had to say bush, didn't you!
Hillary beat you to it, you straggler. Get with the program McCain or find another program to get with.
We Bail out Banks (go see how many)
We Bail out whole nations (Mexico, how many times?)
We Bail out corporations (Chrysler, XM radio i.e. merger)
Maybe we ought to start selling these assh-les failure insurance?
Bush....gets pilloried by these jerks for seven years and then runs to save them. This XM merger is the cherry on top: both parties are losers so they get the gov't to greenlight the merger, creating a single monopoly in satellite radio. All this after they spend seven years spitting in Bush's eye. What a f--king farce.
They've not been spitting in his eye; they've been kissing his moronic ass.
...but you can bet they are, now!
i like bush .he's my favorite asshole
the Clinton administration gave us the best eight years of economic growth and prosperity and Bush took it and not only destroyed it but siphoned off all the money into the top 1% of the top 1%. And those people do not even pay taxes. There should be a law against republicans and their 'deregulate business' and thier 'government should be hands off'. All that means is that the fox is in the hen house. Hillary is the one to turn it back around.
Exactly,and meanwhile medicare and social security are nowhere to be found .Those programs are condemned by the republicans .Notice how 8 years of republican administration have drained money from the poorest to the richest .And some even proudly proclaim that is the american way of life .I beg to disagree,some values like compassion and social justice,health care and proper education are universal values .Why do some people even care to post ridiculous claims like 'those who lost their homes owe it to themselves,because their eyes were bigger than their wallets' ?As if that was the explanation for the current crisis in the real estate .Is there no shame ?It is the very same people that encourage them to buy,telling them that the raising value of real estate would turn their investment into a bonanza of future wealth .THe result is that some people are now camping close to the house they used to own,in a tent or a camper.It takes no more than losing your job and a femily member getting cancer to ruin your life .To cynically say those people owe it to themselves if they end up in misery is only the rich plaming the poor for their condition,wiping their hands after stealing your money.In a deregulated society where the most wealthy part of the population holds all the economical and political power,where laws are tailor made for the one percent that holds haldf of the wealth the poorest part is just a victim to be sucked to the bone .That has been happening during Reagan and Bush especially .
In these crucial elections for the USA the republicans prefer to concentrate on mudslinging rather than talk issues like medicare and social health .No wonder,these programs are bankrupt,no doubt the poorest again will be blamed for that by the republicans .
why Bbush didn't propose a similar plan before Hillary and McCain did.
Good point save the fact it is difficult to call Bush a Republican. It is difficult to call him anything other than what he is. Bush, as president, is just a freak of nature. It is unexplainable how he got into office and how he's remained there for two terms. One for the books. You are right though; in so many words he has trashed everything so many have sacrificed to achieve. He did it intentionally.
is to busy dodgeing bullets in iraq
a house they can't afford? Don't people have brains any more to do their own thinking? No.....it's easier to blame the mistake on someone else and oh yes it's the rich who worked and invested wisely to make their money who should be blamed for everything. But then we always have the good old government to bail us out which boils down to everyone of us who will pay one way or another.
