All this started with the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 and updated in the 90s. As long as housing values increased, this was acceptable. But, everyone knows, that sooner or later, housing would level off or drop. In other words, “The party is over. Time to pay the piper”. The government doesn’t concern itself with the future, only what looks good today…for power and votes. Much like going out with your credit cards, and maxing them out in a big spending spree, sooner or later, the bill comes due. I’m retiring in a few years, so the “bite” won’t be as bad, as what will hit my children and grandchildren.

ensure the economic well-being of Americans.

I wonder what that means…. The only “well-being” the politicians know, is if they control everything, so we don’t have to think.

All I needed to see was on the first page about half-way down:

“…and for other purposes.”

That’s the open-ended craphole that I don’t need in my legislation.

As expected, it consists of two parts. Part one is the “bailout”, which makes sure that everyone who had a finger in the pie gets to lick said fingers, and the “bill” part, which is what’s being presented to those of us who have actually been paying our bills and trying to accumulate tangible assets.

I do not agree at all. The Dems and the moderates have the numbers. The Repubs were viewed as obstructionists for the 1995(6?) goverment shutdown. We do not need that monkey again.

At this point he has little choice. His words bear that out. I have breath in my lungs and a pulse. So I am not authorized to throw up my hands and quit in despair.

As the old Irish saying goes, “I will lay me down for to bleed a while. Then I will rise up and fight you again.”

It is a cult, simple as that, and there is no way to deprogram followers, short of physical restraint and intense therapy.

There is, of course, the very sad possibility that deprogramming is impossible. Like trying to deprogram Nazis.

One day we may be forced to wipe these latter day collectivists from the face of the earth through physical means, or else see ourselves and our children forever enslaved to the collectivist State.

Cisneros just refused to accept any responsibility for the housing collapse. “Others were responsible, like mortgage loan brokers and foreign entities”. No one that will take responsible for the problems. Republicans better get their stories straight. The sniping is already starting and I don’t hear any Repubs, of course the MSM is going pound the Repubs for this problem.

Boehner’s reaction does not surprise me, he’s a typical “new” Repub. reaching across the aisle type…just as my Republican Sen. up for reelection that I won’t be voting for. another McShame.
Sorry to say I don’t think Palin’s Power is enough to get the ornery old man elected. We can only hope the country isn’t totally destroyed by ‘12 and the rest of America(including the libs) will of had seen how socialism works. Great for the elitist few, piss on the peasants(the rest of us.)

How the hell did Americans become so stupid as to allow the worst of the dimorats to control our financial system? Who keeps voting these dolts into office? Why is Mushmouth still the chair of the committee? And why would anyone think Obama can handle this situation when he is so obviously clueless and can’t make a move without his 300-plus advisors?
Any Obama supporters on this blog that can “enlighten” me?

While not an Obama supporter, I believe part of the cause is the two-party system. When you are unhappy with the actions of one party (the one in control), your only options are to vote in the other party or do nothing. Repubs drifted away from their Conservative principles and paid for it in 2006 (and are STILL paying for it). Since then, Congress has done nothing of substance and Bush’s approval numbers are craptastic (second only to Congress). On the surface, the Obamessiah is shiny, new and very appealing – until you start to pay attention to what he plans to do. Only then do you see him for what he is – JALD (just another liberal democrat). He is counting on voters to see only his charisma and not look too deep at his record, plans or associations. Unfortunately, this tactic (combined with the recent economic problems and related complete Republican retreat) seems to be working big time.
