I've seen too many "housing projects" get bulldozed after only 40 years on the planet because they were drug infested, vermin infested, uninhabitable wastelands. That's what happens when the gov't gets into property management, it ain't pretty.DWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07982402887044038422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-72784188787963421022008-09-29T16:43:00.000-07:002008-09-29T16:43:00.000-07:00Hi Louie,The Left is able to do this for one reaso...Hi Louie,<BR/>The Left is able to do this for one reason...they control the dinosaur media. Unfortunateky fo rthem, that media is rapidly losing credibility, which is precisely why th eLeft wants talk radio and the blogs censored.<BR/><BR/>I'm in favor of federal action to restore confidence in the markets, but this plan is an <I>abortion.</I> It is designed to bail out Paulson's buddies on Wall Street,give th eSecretary of th eTreasury unconstitutional power, and buy votes for the Democrats attrhe taxpayer's expense.<BR/><BR/>As I said before, either make the investment banks pay a fair market value to insure these questionable loans or buy the properties outright and either manage them or contract it out to private entrepeneurs for a percentage. And yes, that includes evicting non-paying residents and renting the propeties out at profit.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>ffFreedom Fighterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649470110087808596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-41994237574743517782008-09-29T16:33:00.000-07:002008-09-29T16:33:00.000-07:00"It;s a crap sandwich, but I'll still vote for it...."It;s a crap sandwich, but I'll still vote for it." With this one sentence rep Boehner summed up why the Republicans are in the minority. Unless they get their act together they will stay in the minority for the foreseeable future. Only idiots and people who lack the courage of their convictions vote for crap sandwiches. <BR/><BR/>I suspect Mr. Boehner is not stupid. He likely falls into the category of lacking any moral fiber. Neither type is suitable for public office.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-88059204057174067032008-09-29T14:48:00.000-07:002008-09-29T14:48:00.000-07:00i don't know if i said what i wanted to or not...i don't know if i said what i wanted to or not.<BR/>previously ff stated that two things make the market work, profit & confidence.<BR/>if the feds don't back up the loans in question, then the market loses confidence, investors pull out, and the market goes down.<BR/>maybe even enough to cause a depression in the US. this is where the ripple effect ff spoke of comes into play.<BR/>if the bailout does not go through at all, does the US in fact go into a depression, or into some modified great recession?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-59520382056673153792008-09-29T14:37:00.000-07:002008-09-29T14:37:00.000-07:00what i don't understand coming out of this is how ...what i don't understand coming out of this is how the dimocrats have spun this to be the repubs fault.<BR/>numerous videos i have seen have the dims scolding the regulators testifying before congress.<BR/>barney frank stating in 2004 that there is nothing wrong and the regulators should shut up and be quiet.<BR/>so how do the dims do this?<BR/>are they screaming the loudest?<BR/>as i understand this ff is in favor of the bailout but only with certain pre-conditions previously enumerated in a separate essay.<BR/>if not then the bill should be voted down.<BR/>is this correct?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
