Time to show some Tough Love

Time to show some Tough Love

  

Looks like we again have some weapons of mass distraction

 

This time, it’s not Weapons of mass destruction that will take

down America, it Mortgage Backed Securities that will bring

Us (U.S) to our knees.

 

In order to save American, our Government needs another

Trillion dollars to save us.

 

What is a Trillion dollars anyway, just a small price to pay

for our freedom.

 

What a bunch of crap!

 

The same government that championed free markets now wants

the US Taxpaper to cover Wall Street bad bets.

 

Instead of letting the free market foreign banks feed on the

Greedy US highrolling Banks, the Government is offering a

free pass at our expense.

 

Ronald Regan must be rolling in his grave!

 

This is the single largest tax increase in history, (with little

to show for it).

 

It is being rammed through by a lame duck president with less than

5 months left in his term.  The Treasury doesn’t know what they are

buying, how much it will cost, whether it will work and most importantly

whether the US Taxpayer can afford it.   The kicker is that they want

no analysis, no debate, no oversight—just a blank check.- in five days!

 

Time to show some Tough Love and just say no.

At least John McCain has the guts to stop campaigning for a few days to go to Washington to help sort this mess out.  I too believe the government is getting way too involved.  Many are at fault, corporate America, and those on Main Street.  Since when is it a right to be able to get a loan you can't afford to live in a house you never should have bought in the first place?

90th street.  Main street isn't asking for the bailout!

MaCain says we can pay for this bailout by cutting out

wasteful spending.   Please tell me (other than the war and

this bailout) where is $700 Billion of wasteful spending.

McCain just wanting more time to take a course in Finance 101.

Help sort out this mess, that's a joke.  He, and his deregulating

buddies caused this mess.

Those who bought homes they couldn't afford are paying the price.

Why can't the "professionals" who made money off them?????????

One last thought on your last sentence.

Who do you blame for the AIG bailout (remember that $85 Billion)?

If McCain or Obama had real guts they would oppose this

bailout or it's more appropriate name "TAX INCREASE".

Actually, McCain is looking for the Banks to take a loan and repay much of this bailout back.  The problem here is very basic.  Everyone, from Corporations to individual investors are to blame.  How can someone who buys a home they cannot afford, sign the paperwork that includes risky financing such as an arm, then *** and complain and blame someone else when they can't make their payments.

This is all about personal responsibility, to you simple man.

Forgot to mention:  I am opposed to all these bailouts.  Difficult times are ahead for sure.  However, we are quickly going down the path of socialism.  The answer is not bailouts, higher taxes, and bigger government.  The answer is fiscal responsibility, from the government to individuals.  You are upset at the AIG bailout and call it a Tax Increase.  It is.  I am against it.  But why are the lefties against this tax increase but in favor of all the others?

"But why are the lefties against this tax increase but in favor of

This comment makes no sense.  

I am for a moderate tax decrease on families making under $250K a year.

McCain says Obama is for taxes increases.  He fails to mention the Obama

plan will reduce taxes to most americans.

Please define "personal responsiblity"

I would say that if you were for the Iraq war, you should pay

the cost $16,000 per family (that would be responsible) instead of calling it a non-budget expenditure and adding it to the debt, to be a tax on our kids.

From 2000-2006 the republicans have had control of the Executive

& Legislative branches of government and spent more money than

any administration in current history.   They have added $3 Tillion

to the national debt and were to chicken to ask the taxpapers to

pay their fair share. Now the burden their our children

Are you proud of that.  Is that fiscally responsible?

McCain, Graham and other Republicans deregulated the financial markets and now the taxpapers are being asked (required) to bail them out.

You talk about personal responsibility.  Where is yours for supportng

the most irresponsible administration in modern times.

Don't get me started on the former head of Fannie Mae that was one of two on Obamas VP search team.  There used to be three on the team but one had to quit several days after being picked due to a scandal.  Anyway, this former head of Fannie Mae made over $60M in the last five years.  Ran this organization and the economy into the ground.  I look forward to your response on that.

Enough of George Bush.  Unless he is like Mayor Bloomberg in NYC who is begging to have bylaws changed so he can run again,  I pretty much think he is not running again.  This election is between John McCain and Barack Hussein Obama.

I ask many lefties to tell me, name one thing Barack Obama has done, just one thing.  The answer is always the same.  "I don't like George Bush".  Tell me Family Guy, what has Barack ever done?  Where is his experience?

I look forward to reading your garbage.

90th Street, Obama voted against the war.  I never say people's

responses are "garbage".  No more responses for you.

Garbage perhaps a bit offensive.  I apologize for that, but not for the spirited debate.  Lets keep it going, a lot depends on it.
