Yes!  So where's the outcry over central banking and fractional reserve lending?

so we buy the bad debt then we sell it too the highest bidder , later when it defaults?,
 or we don,t buy the bad debt and we let the highest bidder buy it first, how do we lose by staying out again? bad investments are just bad, unless you own them then they are worse!


 vote no !!

 and if you are losing in this deal then i am truly sorry,


 but i don.t remember the gov. coming to save me the last time i made a bad decision,
 and i guarantee you the snake oil salesmen had me make a few!!!

The House showed us why you have a Senate ...... madhouse vs lethargic consideration

I actually listened to Pelosi's speech .... she didn't attack "Republicans" as such, she attacked *Booosh* and his administration (which only a few Republicans still think of as representing Republicans). That said, her need to do that at that moment was stupid ... and the Republicans harumphing away was stupid. But I also think the ones who voted YES were being stupid.

This puppy of a bill stinks..... and the twinks that came up with it might shouldn't be involved in reworking it
