General rant here.
I can't say that I am too pleased with the bank bail outs. Save the predators that allowed the bad loans to go through but when it comes to helping the individual, stab him in the back.
If I had my way, I'd get all the records of the banks and have the government bail out the people who need the help, not the banks that the people will still have to pay back. No more payments for the individual but let the banks still go under.
There are plenty of banks out there that seem to be doing well.
Not too pleased that the government had changed the laws in regards to bankruptcy but allows the credit card companies cart blanche to do what they will.
Still no immigration policy.
Bail out one financial company but let another go under. Discrimination? Playing favorites? Which lobbyist pays better? Won't that be a wonderful court case. Somewhere, someone is probably planning that, too.
Freddie and Fannie? Bail them out too, have congress get millions from the lobbyists and let the individual get stabbed in the back again.
How many people actually read the mortgage papers when the signed them?
I can honestly state that if Obama does become President, I will admit that he is the President. No excuses like: He stole the election. If he's elected, he's elected.
How many people will admit the same thing if McCain is elected? How many right wingers will admit the same about Obama?
We need term limits.
We need to find a way to unify the country. Right now, I honestly don't see either side even attempting anything close to unification, let alone bi-partisanship.
I secretly hope that Cindy Sheehan will trounce Nancy Pelosi.
Where is Congressional responsibility in this? Why isn't there an investigation into this whole thing? I really do want heads to role on this. Enron was considered illegal and court action was taken. Why is this any different?
I pay my bills. I make an ok living. Why should I have to be punished for doing the right thing by bailing out the companies/institutions that got us here in the first place???
Sorry about this, but as I said, it's a general rant...
