According to stats 90% of responsible honest homeowners didnt lie steal or cheat to get their loans and never have plus pay on time monthly without exception. <BR/><BR/>So "us" are supposed to help the sorry 10% bums who lied to get home loans they couldnt afford? <BR/><BR/>Who cares what Obama says. We know the bums are 100% thrilled that Obama will use other good peoples tax dollars to pay for their bad lies and failure to live up to their mortgage payment. <BR/><BR/>You dont punish good people for the crimes of bad people. This turns the system of justice upside down on its head. We already pay with our taxes many trillions and have been for ages to lowlife sorry welfare bums who cheat the system. <BR/><BR/>During Katrina FEMA stupidly issued credit cards and discovered these same people were using it for prostitutes alcohol drugs etc. But then again they caught cops stealing cars and looting stores too. <BR/><BR/>This is not a socialist society yet and even socialist nations like the former USSR or China do not abuse like this or they would vanish. <BR/><BR/>No this is not "us". This is "them". Big difference. Everyone is not the same. There is good and bad, hot and cold, left and right, up and down etc. Dont get this confused.<BR/><BR/>Obama blames Bush for all this and he is correct but then again he planned to do this socialist crapola anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338316905613216821.post-75631333061125481592009-02-23T15:16:00.000-05:002009-02-23T15:16:00.000-05:00Be a good start if he actually required the member...Be a good start if he actually required the members of his administration to pay taxes, interest and penalties, starting with Mr. Emanuel.

B...I want him to tell me when I get my new kitchen. <BR/><BR/>But seriously. He's been in office for just a month and he came up with the porkulus bill. The only thing guaranteed by the spending stimulus is more national debt. One stroke of the presidential pen has now increased it by $800 billion. Democrats recently screamed about W-era profligacy. On July 28, 2008, Sen. Kent Conrad (D-ND), Chair of the Senate Budget Committee declared, "If they gave out Olympic medals for fiscal irresponsibility, President Bush would take the gold, silver and bronze. With his eight years in office, he will have had the five highest deficits ever recorded. And the highest of those deficits is now projected to come in 2009, as he leaves office." <BR/><BR/>Kent Conrad was right. The projected 2009 deficit then stood at $482 billion. In January it was forecast by the Congressional Budget Office at $1.2 trillion. Pres. Obama’s new plan now ups that to $1.7 trillion. If W got the gold, the new Administration has landed the Platinum in just its qualifying heat. <BR/><BR/>If historic U.S. budget deficits are any indication, the economy is already “stimulated.” The predicted 2009 federal deficit stood at 8.3% of GDP before Obama’s package sent it to about 12%. This is a stunning level of debt, double the previous post WWII high when Reagan’s 1983 budget deficit amounted to 6% of GDP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338316905613216821.post-58697754577133654822009-02-23T14:19:00.000-05:002009-02-23T14:19:00.000-05:00I've been living under a rock!I've been living under a rock!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338316905613216821.post-68092525020407680962009-02-23T14:18:00.000-05:002009-02-23T14:18:00.000-05:00It would be great for him to say, "Look, uh, I am,...It would be great for him to say, "Look, uh, I am, uh, a, uh, Socialist....aaannd..I have been fooling you Kool Aid drinkin' suckers all this time..aaaannd..I'm, uh, going to, uh, fix this problem by nationilizing everything...aaannd...by the way, uh, there will be no more elections."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338316905613216821.post-14930675212833554552009-02-23T14:17:00.000-05:002009-02-23T14:17:00.000-05:00McCain in office would have gotten us a tax refund...McCain in office would have gotten us a tax refund check to jump start the economy.

Bush warned Congress in BOTH 2005 and 2007 that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were heading down the exact road that they inevitably went down. But thanks to the likes of Dems. Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, they convinced Congress that they were just fine and that nothing needed to be done. Now, all of a sudden, the Dems. have inherited this mess (like they had no part in any of this) and their answer is to increase welfare (by reversing recent welfare reform legislation, as this bill has done) and by rewarding irresponsible home buyers (if your house payment is less than 31% of your income, you're screwed, you don't qualify for assistance under the new spending .... oh, sorry, "RESCUE" package.
