Anyone with half a brain would be able to discern that we should let Freddie and Fannie die just as we should have let Bear Stearns, et. al. die.

The ONLY “fix” for the Federal Government is to force it to shrink back to its constitutional size. I don’t think the Constitution says anything about Freddie or Fanny.

The blood on the hands of Schumer on this is there for anyone to see.

The letter he intentionally leaked to a sympathetic press was the beginning.

Who is behind Schumer and this debacle?

We will have to pursue vigorously to discover.

Who does Shumer take his orders from?

Doesn’t anyone see what happened here?

How’s your dad?

Thank you for asking. I have an update I’ve been re-writing for the last week, but uncertain about posting it on Dad’s blog.

There is little change in condition, but EEG & scans show normal brain activity.
(Now the part I’ve been uncertain about posting: )
The previous Dr. incharge due to his advanced age, we should opt to have hydration withheld. When he told us that, and became insistant, Step-Mom blew through
like a hurricane, and got the doctor removed. His current Dr said that there is no reason he can see for the continued coma, but that he’s getting pressure from above to insist the same as the first. He told us (privately) that we might want to move him to longterm care… “someplace a little less political”, was his closing thought on it.

I guess I’ve been doing something Dad’d been on my tail about: I’ve been avoiding my responsibility, (writing about his status on his blog to keep informed all the well-wishers who keep filling his inbox,) because by day’s end I’m tired of fighting with it.

Tomorrow we move Dad, but I WILL have a more complete update by late Sat./early Sunday.

Thank you all again. I am certain Dad knows about your prayers and good wishes!

Michelle,
Sorry about going so off topic.

Interesting that Schumer is being blamed as the reason for the run on the bank that forced the regulators hands when IndyMac could not meet its liquidity needs. Apparently, Chuckie sent out some communication in which he raised serious concerns regarding IndyMac,

Could have sworn this was illegal – some Depression Era law making it a crime to bad-mouth banks – for this very reason.

“The immediate cause of the closing was a deposit run that began and continued after the public release of a June 26 letter to the OTS and the FDIC from Senator Charles Schumer of New York.”

From the Office of Thrift Supervision press release about IndyMac federal takeover. http://www.americanbanker.com/media/pdfs/OTS_Closes_IndyMac.pdf

Apparently, Chuckie sent out some communication in which he raised serious concerns regarding IndyMac, which communication was followed by a run by depositors. Looks like Schumer may have just cost taxpayers a few billion dollars.

How’s your dad?

The stocks plunged yesterday and a former Fed governor declared them “insolvent.”
The reason they plunged is because this idiot spoke. Yes there is a direct cause and effect that happens when idiots do things like this.

I learned that lesson back in the 90’s, when I invested in a biotechnology mutual fund. Every time Hillary Clinton opened her yap about health care, I lost money.
