Quote From: yesyoucanThis is only the tip of the iceberg. Okay, so the companies wanting to be bailed out by taxpayers KNEW congress was about to take 5 weeks off. Why? So THE BIGGEST WELFARE RECIPIENTS can campaign for re-election to Congress. Are you kidding me?
This quick half baked bail out fiasco for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac et al was PLANNED to happen right when Congress is about to take off five weeks to push Congress into a snap judgment decisions. I don't know any other job where, during crisis, you can say we're taking off five weeks to campaign for re-election. OMG(osh)! What's all this City to City speeches by candidates when Americans want common sense ACTION.
QUOTE: "NEW YORK (CNN) -- This Republican-led, do-nothing Congress is on its way home for a five-week vacation. I'm sure while there, they'll be glad to explain to their constituents why they need so much rest in a year in which they will work fewer than 80 days.
The Republicans in Congress have little to brag about when they return home. And the Democrats have a lot of explaining to do, as well. "
This whole orchestrated corporate CEO and Presidential tantrum is like a child making a scene, when parents don't have time to handle well, to play parents to make a rash decision and cash in.
IF USA gets all these loans for bottom dollar auction prices that most are having to settle for might not be a bad deal EXCEPT USA is notorious for being scammed instead by others getting kick backs. I think Americans are ready to kick back and "kick to the curb" these persons who somehow have escaped psychiatric and/or criminal repercussions to run USA past poor house right into a ditch of debt.
Present President is looking for a nice home in Dallas, rumors are. I think that makes everyone wonder who all are getting real estate kick backs on this bail out deal. That is those besides all the Americans without a single million dollar home like Obama or seven homes like McCain or a Ranch like President looking for a second home by Cooper Fitness Center where he use to work out. No, those with foreclosed homes not only lost their homes and lost their credit.
A different set of rules where makes no difference if leaders lose credibility for Oval Office hanky panky or wasting tax dollars playing poker with pet projects of umpteen memorials unto self like Byrd et al and bail outs with slide of hand deals.
Too many career politicians and corporate CEO's have a credibility exemption that only everyone else has to be accountable for consequences of their mistakes. In Presidential and Congressional and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac type alter universes that in anybody else's universe would lead to psychiatric care or a prison... or foreclosure and wrecked credit.
Guess what popped up in junior high schools after the Starr Report: "Rainbow Parties". There is a place for shame to activate good conscience. Of paramount special interest in Washington should always first be America and Americans.
There was a time when people wanted to truly lead and salivated with passion to make America a better place for ALL Americans. Some of the early forefathers even using their own money.
Now, leaders play with taxpayer money like monopoly money while padding their pockets with pensions and medical plans from tax dollars like my mother's who collapsed at work bleeding to death because couldn't afford to go to the doctor. Lots of fellow Americans going without dental and medical care while far too many over paid incompetent leaders from Congress to ENRON can cash in. Including MERCK pharmaceuticals that fudged VIOXX reports that led to deaths of many including my mother. Greed in well dressed suits that suits nobody's purposes except the greedy.
Prove VIOXX killed your loved one even though MERCK hid research did so already knew could. Prove you really need this disability or unemployment. Meanwhile spoiled brat entities like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and Congress don't have to prove anything except they WANT WHAT THEY WANT RIGHT NOW. They don't have to appeal or beg and wait months or years to get watching their lives crumble before them. No, they bulldoze over America and Americans demanding to STEAL and SWINDLE and EXPLOIT and out and out LIE.
Leaders should be passionate to lead to a better place instead of only passionate of the power of being a leader like "look at me". No, look at U.S. Look at us... government of the people, for the people by the people. What a novel and grand idea. Let's practice it by putting into practice. TODAY. Thank you.
