"While Republicans seemed likely to support those changes, it was less likely that they would support Democratic demands that the bailout program place limits on the compensation of Wall Street executives or change bankruptcy laws to allow judges to modify home mortgages." -

Repulicans are such blatent crooks!!! Of course they have so many foolds lined up to vote for them regardless that they don''t feel a need to try to look like they have any real ethics. How dare they give millions upon millions of our tax dollars to these crooks who caused this disaster in the first place. I will never ever vote for those Repulicans again!!

To The Candidates and Congress:

I demand that any bailout of financial institutions and other entities with taxpayers'' money include strict re-regulation of said institutions and strict congressional oversight of the agencies that are supposed to regulate these institutions and other entities. I demand that Congress not give the Bush Administration a blank check to accomplish this bailout with no strings attached. I''d rather SEE NO BAILOUT AT ALL, rather than taxpayers footing the bill for those CEOs etc., who are waking away from this mess with millions of dollars.

I DEMAND THAT CONGRESS END THE PRACTICE OF CEOs RECEIVING COMPENSATION FAR IN EXCESS OF WHAT THEY''RE WORTH AND THEN WALKING AWAY SCOTT FREE, WHEN THE INSTITUTIONS THEY MANAGE FAIL BECAUSE OF SHADY LENDING PRACTICES, ETC. AND, I DEMAND THAT ALL CEOs OF COMPANIES TO BE BAILED OUT BY TAXPAYERS UNDER PRESENT PLANS BE FORCED TO RETURN THEIR EXORBITANT COMPENSATION PACKAGES TO THE U.S. TREASURY TO HELP WITH THE BAILOUT NECESSITATED BY THEIR PRACTICES.

NOW, I know that Congress has a history of being spineless in the past, when faced with these situations. But, it''s got to stop. Congress must stand up to the President and demand changes, especially when poor, little guys like me are being told we may have to give up some of our meager Social Security Benefits to save that system, which would not be necessary if Congress simply paid back the IOUs owed to the system.

IF you really could think ''outside the box'', you might be able to come up with something besides that same-old, lame-old cliche, ''think outside the box'' ! ! !

Dumb as dirt repubs can not even add the years up or they just intentionally skew the facts. The dumb as dirt repubs are the ones who have had the mantra "free markets", "less gov is good gov" and their dumb as dirt presidential choice today was a leading "de-regulation" fighter ----------------------------------------------- Posted by txlakeside


Sorry, but the Government of the ''HANDOUT'' IS the Goverment of the Dems!

I love how anytime there is a fiscal problem, you blame the Dems, as if the Republicans had no hand in it! --------------------------------------------------------- Posted by nolalou

Are you forgetting 1994, Bill Clinton budgets 26 Billion Dollars for the Department of Housing and Urban Development to ''focus on helping first-time house buyers and the homeless find housing''.

The HOMELESS? Thats got ''DEM'' written all over it!
