When given the choice between big business and big government, choose big business. Big business never threw millions of people into gas chambers, but big government did.

You seem to have forgotten about the Carter years.

First of all you cannot blame Bush, the Republicans, or the Democrats. If a private company wants to issue stupid, yet 100% legal, loans and there are morons to sign up for them, the government is really powerless to stop it.
Second, I am against any bailout. This purchase of these 2 companies looks bad imo. But I need to know more:
If those companies had went belly-up, what would have happened to the people who were current in their mortgages with those companies?

"Interesting...."Those old cars can go if you want them too. Last time I went to the track a guy had a wicked 66 Stang running high 10s-low 11s. He was running aviation fuel in it too.
I can't claim any recent activity in motor-sport of any kind, although I did do a summer or so as road manager for a Formula A team during the late 60s.
Hmmm.....?
Dang! that's not exactly any more recent, either.....
Cool.I cleared some space in my PM box.

"Good times!" (not)
Inflation got up around 22% at its peak....
Folks decided they didn't have a lot of spare cash for stuff like kung fu lessons.....
Is very uneasy
They didn't have alot of spare cash at all!
Honest, that's one reason Obama is more popular with 20-somethings. They are too young to remember the Carter years, or the fact that Obama's economic policies are nearly identical to Carter's.
I really do fear for the country if he is elected and the Democrats still control Congress.

Not a foot in the mouth at all. Biden saw a man here and treated him as such. I guess he forgot the Republican response which would have been to treat the guy as an invalid. No doubt McCain would have had the man dragged up on stage in his wheel chair. He would have then knelt down and used both hands in a gentle handshake. After that the arm would go around the shoulder and the way would be cleared for the press to take pictures.

From what source do you get that? Inflation has never been that high in this country.

No secret here. Those mortgages would be treated as assets and sold off in bankruptcy court. Don't think for a moment that if your mortgage company goes tits up that you're off the hook.

Some of the "action" in this whole deal can be laid at the doorstep of ACORN, and "guess who" is "beholden" to them?
ACORN (and "guess who"), in turn, has had dealings with Soros.....
There was also already a lot of gummint $$$/influence involved through ACORN.Second, I am against any bailout.
All in the name of "social justice", doncha know?This purchase of these 2 companies looks bad imo.
I'm not sure that anyone will be very happy when they find out just how deep it goes.But I need to know more:
????? seems like their "paper" would be "devalued" and someone would be able to make a real killing..... buying up the companies and acquiring their holdings "on the cheap". There's already been a good deal of "adjustment" in the real estate market, so it shouldn't go "much lower"..... which doesn't mean that it won't.If those companies had went belly-up, what would have happened to the people who were current in their mortgages with those companies?
The "problem" in both real estate and oil is "speculation".... there used to be regulations that guarded against it.... at least in some of the markets. "Margin"?
Hmmmm.... I seem to remember that one of our number has had some dealings in "the market".........
Now that I've been thinking about it and writing some of it down....
I don't like the way Soros' name is popping up.... it's starting to sound all too much like the stuff he pulled on the Bank of England.... and he has a real case against the American/capitalist system that he "works" so well.

Ok Ok, the conservative guy was a little off.
It was actually 13.58%
The Prime Rate got up to 21.50% under Carter.That has NEVER been worse.

Actually I was wondering if they would lose their homes.
As I feel one person's stupidity should not negatively affect a responsible person's life, if that had been the case I am not against SOME government intervention.

Homicidal puppet
I'm impressed... ya friggin socialist you! Isn't it a case of buyer beware?
its safe to say that I train some martial arts. Im not that good really, but most people really suck, so I feel ok about that - Sunfist
Sometime blog on training esp in Japan

Not at all. If I take out a mortgage I can afford, and I pay on time, I should not have to lose my house because the bank made stupid choices with other people.
