Nothing on the Fed., $200 billion, & Stearns sell off?
Submitted by greyghost on Mon, 03/17/2008 - 7:34pm.
The biggest news of the day & nothing? I don't get it. Haven't seen banking on the verge of failure since 1929 & it doesn't even make the blog. Greatest scam in the history of the world & the people being taken have nothing to say.
Is it something to be afraid of? Is America so close to falling apart around US we better not say anything or we'll puch it over the edge? The current administration has run US into bankruptcy & not a word. All the people who voted for Bush aren't going to say anything, it's cover your own b-tt week. Well I guess Bush is going to walk away & blame it all on the next poor sap to be elected. Blame the failed war in Iraq, the failed economy, the next 29, all on the next poor fool to get elected.
It'll have to be a woman or a black man just to prove neither one, each a democrat are fit to be President I guess. McCain is out & it's all just a big act? Has democracy become so corrupt it's come to this? After the complete failure of an empire will the republican savior come in riding on a big white horse?
If the American people do nothing after the last eight years of lies & allow this scam to continue I guess we may as well mail bin Laden the flag. Bush did everything bin Laden wanted & made him a prophet. Will terrorist miss the opportunity in the failure of our entire economy to proclaim victory? You can bet not! Wonder why terrorist haven't been cellebrating all over the world? Or are they & the news is being blocked?
Best move would be to impeach Bush & Cheney & show the world we've had enough of this mismanagement & put the scam to rest. The White House, the Presidency isn't a something we take so lightly we'd let these clowns run US into bankruptcy.
Any corporation in the US, which contributes to the campaigns of our representatives would fire their CEO & complete board of directors if their comepnay was on the shaky ground the the United States of America is on. Why don't the owners of the largest corporation in the world do or saying anything? The American taxpayers are sitting by like a bunch of dummies, watching as America falls apart as if it doesn't concern them.
I would think at least the people who lost their homes to the same banking being bailed out by the Fed. would pitch a b-tch. Not the American people, send your family to war based on lies to die for country & yet don't say word one about the current banking scam taking place in America? Bush sure has America by the -----!

Done been done and nothing to speak of tonight is right.
Don't taunt scared people when they are frantic to prevent all the mayhem you speak of.
The problem with your assessments is that you truly know little about what you're talking about. Your concern is great and welcome otherwise.
Don't taunt scared people?
It's a good thing Bush. Congress, US Senate, & the Federal Reserve who are responsible for the eintire mess, know what they're taliking about since those of US, taxpayers who don't know what we're taling about are paying for it.
I'm not afraid to blame those responsible for turning a surplus to resession or depression if it comes to it, in seven short years & I'd have to suggest the rest of the American people start to demand accountability or, hide & hope it all goes away.
It's rediculous to blame individuals for taking loans or getting credit cards they can't pay back when our government, all the above, suggest an ownership society & lead by example. Just a few examples are a failed war in Iraq, free trade putting Americans uot of work, tax cuts in return for campaign finance resulting in a $9 trillion debt, an infrastructure almost $2 trillion in need of repair, & every government agency such as USDA, FDA, IRS, INS, FEMA, Homeland Security, just to name a few, are failing.
I'm a US taxpayer, Bush's boss & I'll point out his failure as a board member of this nation any time I see it as my responsibility. Every America should have the right & take on the reponsibilty that goes along with being a US citizen. I suspect the reason these deadbeats & crooks are taking US is because most people don't have an opinion, hide, & expect it all to get better.
The problem isn't people speaking up, it's people suggesting we don't. In case someone forgets, it's WE the People & as soon as we don't speak up we have gotten to the point We no longer are a government of the people. Disapproval ratings for our representatives have been all over the news, while America is in a tail spin due to poor management by our representatives, greed, & campaign finance. Approximately 75% of US taxpayers who disapprove & pay for it don't know what we're talking about? We live it, pay for it, family goes to war to protect it, we have the right, & to suggest otherwise would be a mistake.
What do you know that you are so sure the other 75% doesn't? Like most Americans, I'm not scared, I'm put off by the misrepresentation & lack of involvement by people who are afraid through Bush's scare tatics & failure. Terrorist have never been the threat our misrepresentatives are through campaign finance, they fooled you & you went for it. Sure terrorist have bombs, nuts willing to blow themselves up, but if Bush would have let Saddam & all the rest of those nuts kill each other that would be that many less for US to worry about.
Bush could have used Saddam & Iraq to our advantage rather than commit to the diaster he created. Fight & win the smart war, not the war bin Laden & terrorist want US to fight. Ask bin Laden how he would defeat US & he would say, listen to Bush.
Now that oil is twice the price it was when we went to war in Iraq, can we expect the price to drop to on quarter the price when thing stabalize, if ever? Can we expect anything in return for liberating Iraq or will our effort all to Iran when they take over after all we spent & lives lost? Where should we go to war next? Iran, Pakistan, or pick a country, spin the wheel of misforutune?
Got any hamburger?
Screw finance.
