Born, I suggest you research the attempted regulatory reforms of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2005, co-sponsored by John McCain and supported by the White House. The feeling then was that Fannie and Freddie had been cooking the books and were exposing taxpayers to potential disaster. That action was blocked by Democrats in the Senate. Democrats like Chris Dodd and Barack Obama, who just happen to be the top two cash recipients from those organizations. (Franklin Raines, a top economic advisor to Barack Obama, was CEO of Fannie Mae for 6 years, and was forced out for Enron style accounting fraud. His income for the 6 years? $90,000,000.00.
Plenty of blame to go around here. I blame anyone owning one or more empty homes they were trying to flip. I blame everyone who used their homes as an ATM, borrowing against the equity with STUPID 0% or low interest adjustable ARM's. I blame Republicans. I blame Democrats. I blame the greedy bankers and mortgage processors who loaned money to people who had no business getting loans for houses they could not afford.
I blame a country grown accustomed to living beyond its means.
But, Jayne is correct. I should have a solution, instead of just complaining. I would proceed with the bailout, because the alternative is economic collapse. I would limit the income of the executives, start criminal investigations into failed financial institutions, and arrange for the taxpayer to be paid first as the assets we "buy" recover and are sold off.
What is your solution?

Love your humor , Wink!I agree totally with what Jayne and ADMIN have said. Liking or not likeing Bush and Mc Cain is not the issue here. Saving our country is. I'm all for that and unity of both parties to work together instead of against each other. I am concerned about us. God bless.

The Tax payer's cost of the bailout would be about $4,635 per year for the working American. A small price to pay. When it all gets sorted out, and it turns around, the working american will see returns from it.
Here is something to think about also. I have been looking at Lake House. They went from $220,000.00 to $350,000.00 about two years ago. Last Winter I could have bought them for $99,000.00 & $152,000.00. Now the reason is, these people that own them, have 2 Mortgages. They need to bailout themself. So their selling them for about what they owe on them. Now I just rencently went back and looked at the area sales, and now I can buy some of these for as low as $50,000.00 being now sold by the Banks. The banks are trying to get what they have vested in these homes back with no profit. They want and are trying to bailout from them with no profit, but yet no lost. It's all one is doing is taking it off the banks hands, and helping to bail them out. One at at time. I must say, I will be buying soon in my book. I have also watched just Lake property go from from $100,000.00 & $224,000.00 drop to $45,000.00 & $99,000.00. These have no homes on them.
If I buy and when, it's not to flip it for a profit, but it will be because I could afford it then.
The bailout is well needed. We and the workers will get our returns in the end.

Too Many Foreign Countries have been Allowed to Lend monies to some of these Mortgage Companies, and by doing so, they are Inadvertently Buying Our Homes and Farms!! Too Many Countries have too much of Our Holdings in this Country, and if We don't Act,and they Call in their Markers, We could Very Quickly become a Third World Country! Some One left the Fox in the Hen House, and if We don't get 'em Out We are going to be Left with Nothing!! Something Definitely has to be Done, I Just Pray they get it Right this Time, and Protect Us, the U.S. Citizen, not the Corporate Heads!!

Limbo, also the fact, that if those Foreign Countries where to simply pull out their stocks and funds, it would totally cripple the United States of America.
