When is our "mas as hell" moment? When we finally say 'ENOUGH IS ENOUGH'. When we rise up, throw the bums in jail, and take back the nation?

Or does that moment never come?

While the growth in GDP will still be present, it will show signs of sputtering and you will see higher levels of unemployment, decline in housing prices, decline in the stock market, and business expansion plans being put on hold. When the economy sees extended periods of economic recession, the economy can be referred to as being in an economic depression.; October 04, 2008 11:29 PM

I am getting to the point where I really feel that if this Nation doesn't get on the right course NOW ,we will go down a path that nobody will actually want and nobody will be able to prevent if it gets to far .
The passage of this Bill and ones to follow will create one mistake upon another down the path of no return .

As this Nation was build on steps
that brought us closer and closer to the ideals that were first laid out by our Forefathers ,so shall we fall in steps .

War is another injustice that brings a unjust transfer of wealth as one of its byproducts .

People marvel about how a nutcake like Hilter could rise to power ,yet the Politicians just put power in the hands of a guy like
Paulson ,who was part of the problem in his career . Yes ,we need to throw all the bums out ,except for the parties that opposed the faulty Bail Out . The current majority in power are bought off traitors or commies .

Its important to realize who owns the media and who owns the minds of the people . The evidence of this is the very passage of the BILL ,or the fact that the Ponzi-Scheme Housing Boom was allowed and endorsed by the media .The other side of myths didn't get much air time . It's a matter of mass brainwashing . How could you get a culture so brainwashed as to think they are entitled to everything for nothing . This is mass marketing to get people to buy buy buy ,instead of drill drill drill ,or work work work .
Wall Street created the last Depression ,which was a Ponzi scheme ,and this contraction is based on the same greedy schemes .

The proper laws and regulations were put in place after the Great Depression ,yet the arrogant Clinton signed away the saving grace laws that paved the way to this fake wealth ,leveraged by debt society .The lead up to the Great Depression was much like the lead up to this crash that we are in the middle of .

King Paulson doesn't want to address any of the needs for regulation and King Paulson doesn't want to address any of the needs for purging corruption or prosecution of the evildoers . Just give me a blank check so I can make sure the right parties don't pay is Paulsons theme song .
But these bums in power are giving Paulson the power ,so what does that say about them . Any moral body of government would of disqualified Paulson as a conflict of interest party.

A team of researchers led by the Silent Spring Institute in Newton, Mass. just published a study in the journal Environmental Science & Technology that shows that the levels of PBDEs—fire-retardant chemicals used in furniture, bedding, and other household items—are ten times higher in California households than in other areas of the country. Just as worrying, the study shows that California residents have twice the amount of PBDEs in their bloodstream than do people living elsewhere.

Why? The LA Times speculates that the high levels of PBDEs could be attributed to a law California passed 30 years ago requiring furniture and bedding to contain enough of the chemicals so that the items could resist ignition for 12 seconds if held to an open flame; October 04, 2008 11:43 PM

As long as we can still get a TV signal, we will never stand up for anything.

Problem is that we are ALL affected by the TV. Have you ever noticed that there are only two commercial messages on the TV.

Fear & Envy.

These are the two messages that get pumped 24/7 to America. So we all want guns and we all want granite like the neighbors.

The TV has turned almost all of us into drones. What do you do with a country full of drones? (brainstems if you prefer)

Did anyone notice during the debates that each channel had a ticker going at the bottom explaining the question/answer and telling everyone what to think about it? It felt like watching "Smarter Than A 5th Grader".

We are so screwed that even Andrew Hac is trying to be a little compassionate.

up solution". Here the Senate and Congress were acting like they were so surprised by the news of Paulson and the Feds .

Didn't anybody think it was rather odd that the biggest Political crooks with ties to lenders were the one heading up those bogus hearings ?Here they were acting like they were shocked and dismayed about new-found knowledge of a default problem and sub-prime lending they had no knowledge of .They bring in the biggest culprits in the mess to testify about the mess ,give me a break . They call it a Kangaroo
Court .

Problem is Paulson and the Feds keep coming back for more money and the "cover up solution " becomes harder and harder to pull off .

Make no mistake that the Feds and the Treasury have committed a couple of trillion toward this mess ,with a lot of it given out in short terms loans to any kind of lender ,regulated or non-regulated that started over a year ago .The plan was assisting the de-leveraging .

The Feds didn't have any right to give short term loans to any bank on the block ,especially when these banks were not abiding by any of the regulations during the boom . That's Paulson bag to bail out the unregulated sector .

And this screwy review committee that they came up with in the Bill that has no teeth at all, until after the fact ,is absurd . Paulson asking for total immunity for anything he does .
In my humble opinion ,the banks and investment firms are defaulting on the short term loans the Feds have been extending ,and the bail-out is hiding the cash-flow problems of these troubled banks and investment firms .The fact that the Politicians wouldn't take any other expert opinions other than Paulson and the Fed Chairman .Usually you would conduct hearings on such a request . The money request had to take place before the elections also .

So ,if you think for one minute that this bail-out request isn't a cover-up for the Dodds/Paulson/FEDS/MOZILO/WALL STREET/ bail out plan , cover up causes plan ,your dreaming .

And the emergency ploy to get the Bill passed without thought or question is real clear.

Its all blowing up I grant you that ,but this has been a set up starting more than a year ago .You could tell it was a set up when they raised the loan limits with Freddie and Fannie ,the Senator Dodds held hearings for public show ,on and on . The truth is starting to come out now because this request for 700 billion didn't go as smooth as the powers thought it would . The Banks runs were not part of the equation either .

Parties that were responsible for this mess will do everything in their power to take the heat off themselves .Corruption and bribes are so riddled in this mess that it is beyond belief .

I can't wait until the corruption in this mess starts coming out and some real parties in high places get exposed for what they are .; October 05, 2008 8:23 AM

http://tinyurl.com/2gblxs

I have no doubt whatsoever that the US will turn into this, since you're making the same exactly mistake that Brazil did: Let corrupt socialism take over.

However, in our case, the socialism hasn't spread to the rest of the country yet, only affecting most of big cities like Rio and São Paulo.

Nevertheless, you have a HUGE decision to make in November. You either pick socialism or capitalism.

Brazil has the largest population of Nigerians outside Nigeria, among other largest colonies in the world such as Japanese (yes, you read it right), Italian, Portuguese, Lebanese, Polish, Ukrainian, German, etc. Every time the *blip* hit the fan, we said to other countries: "C'mon over, you're welcome!" We're now taking Iraqi refugees that nobody wants. We also had successful missions in WW2; accomplished all of them with bravery but nobody cares. We fought the Portuguese, Dutch, Paraguayans, French, etc, for our independence. Huge losses. Then came the military with the back of the CIA to screw us up.

Long time ago, a few European crooks, like the French and the Portuguese, brought millions of slaves from Nigeria, and now they're revolting no matter how hard we try to make their lives better. We throw money at it, time, dedication, love, effort...but nothing works.

We're very grateful for the African culture because of their great cultural and athletic aptitudes, but we have also paid dearly as well through their violent behavior. Rio and São Paulo are just unbearable right now.

Moreover, because of the damn globalization, our geographic location, and friendly culture, there's a huge invasion of organized crime showing up from China, Russia, Spain, Italy, Paraguay, Colombia, Bulgaria, etc...you name it. They're just killing us.

For instance, we Brazilians never had Chinese or Korean immigrants before in the country, but now they're everywhere, getting busted weekly for smuggling, counterfeit, prostitution, money laundering, etc.

I want you all to listen good, from a person who lived through military dictatorship, 150%/year inflation, 3 different currencies, high crime rates, and political corruption:

YOU HAVE A HUMONGOUS DECISION TO MAKE IN NOVEMBER, TO EITHER SINK YOUR COUNTRY FOR GOOD BY CHOOSING OBAMA'S SOCIALISM, OR GETTING BY UNTIL THE NEXT BEST CANDIDATE SHOWS UP.

Do Brazilians love McCain? Not really. But we know how destructive socialism can be. Don't go that way.
You guys are in a war in Iraq, fair enough. We've been in a civil war for years and here's a sample of it:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGG2c46LLeU

Do you think that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or other martial arts are just hobbies in Brazil? We need that to survive. The only thing that Rio has is the BOPE (the Elite Squad), because they're not corrupt and very conservative. The SWAT and other American security forces train with them often.

The president's socialist party tried to pass a legislation to prohibit civilians from having guns; it failed miserably. Meanwhile, the drug lords from the slums, who terrorize the city every day, have M-16, .50, Aks, Glocks, AR-15, etc. Heavy stuff that you only find in major wars like Iraq. That gun prohibition sounds familiar to you? Let me tell you, it's tough to keep up when thousands of poor people are procreating faster than we can help or afford. It's just out of control!

Lula, the current president, is killing the middle-class by taxing them to death in order to provide welfare to people who don't work, just to buy votes for his party. Sounds familiar? The rich never gets affected, as you know. Seriously, do you think that Obama would ever go after Barbara Streisand or Warren Buffett?

Lula's Universal Healthcare is a total disaster, with patients dying in line while waiting for medical assistance that takes months. The rest who can is paying more for private insurance. You can get ahead of the line if you bribe the doctors. My brother-in-law was a major supplier/importer of Xerox X-Ray films who gave up because hospitals never paid the bill!

This is the reality of socialism, and your future is at risk. Lula taxes the middle-class to death in order to give a basket of food to people who refuses to work and have 10 children per household. Sounds familiar?

Please rent the movie, "Elite Squad", think about it before you vote. That bailout last week was a huge red flag to Brazilians who are already getting screwed by socialism. I know, there's an attraction for the "Change" message that everyone welcomes, but we had that also with Lula. His "change" screwed the productive middle-class.

And no, we don't live all like a third world country like you guys bash us...yet. Here are some of my cities:

http://tinyurl.com/3s7p5l

http://tinyurl.com/47mukm

I hope I didn't step in anyone's toes, didn't offend anyone with my views, but it's sad to see the US falling for the socialism trap. Brazil did the same and we regret immensely. There's no way to turn it around anymore because the socialists keep buying the poor people vote with baskets of food and welfare at the expense of the taxpayer. Sounds familiar?

You guys are welcome to come visit us anytime to have the best time of your life here in Brazil. Have I told you that most of the Victoria's Secret models are Brazilian who live in my hometown/island, Florianopolis? haha

So a good place to begin is to consider who is suffering the consequences of the many bad decisions about mortgages and other securities—and who's not. Let's see. There's Stan O'Neal, remember him? Seems like ages ago, although it was just last fall, that he left Merrill Lynch with $161.5 million. Then there's Angelo Mozilo, the former CEO of Countrywide, who sold more than $360 million worth of Countrywide stock between 2004 and 2007 before being forced to throw the firm at the mercy of Bank of America. The list goes on.

With very few exceptions, the CEOs who actually got these companies into their present messes didn't suffer too much. If the people who take the big strategic risks that don't pay off don't suffer from their poor decisions, what lessons are those who come later going to learn?

Realtors, all of them, each and every last one of you, are lying sacks of shit. Here is another one of the breed:

The Tampa Tribune reports from Florida. “Ernie Harpster fell behind on his mortgage payments last year. The lender filed a foreclosure lawsuit. Harpster then did something troubled homeowners may never think of doing: He fought back. Harpster has been living payment-free for nearly a year in his Wesley Chapel home. His case is trickling through court, and there are no signs he will be kicked out anytime soon. ‘Not having a mortgage payment meant I didn’t have to file for bankruptcy because I could pay other bills, like credit cards and the electric bill,’ said Harpster, whose income as a real estate agent dried up along with the market. ‘But I’m not trying to take advantage of the situation. I tried to do what I thought was right. To me, it’s the bank’s fault this has stalled.’”

“For Harpster, who’s waiting on his mortgage company to make the next move, fighting has made life simpler in some ways. His teenage son has been able to stay in his neighborhood school another year. He has been able to stave off bankruptcy and put money away to relocate to an apartment. But fighting foreclosure didn’t take away the stress. Now, he said, both he and the lender will suffer even bigger losses.”

“‘I have my boxes packed, and most of my stuff is ready to go,’ he said. ‘I have no idea how much longer I have in my house.’”
