What about the bank officers? They screw up and walk away scott free? If this was before the FDIC they would probably be hanging from the nearest tree. Bush/Cheny does it again screw the hard working people and let the people in charge walk away without any worries or concerns. Thanks to Democrates & Mr. Roosevelt the FDIC exist.

how many americans are on fixed incomes? how many american families had some type of tragedy that upset their cash flow? how many people injured on the job and now receiving 1/3 or less of their income afford to live? how many people are out of work due to job cut backs? do you know anyone that would rather pay their mortgage payment, before they make sure their family has a hot meal? close your eyes a little bit longer and maybe they will fade away! is that green paper more important, then a family that has been put out on the street? are we so greedy, that we can not keep america in work at a reasonable wage and where they can keep their homes, put food on the table and pay their bills? what happen to the real america and what it stands for? we the people -- for the people

good morning america! are we awake? remember september the 11th? the day america changed! what is the real truth? what caused the domino effect with corporate america? why did they fall to their knees? why did the american public loose some or all of their investments? how many military personal does it take to find one person? the real question is "do we want to find him"? how many companies moved out of america to save on labor costs? how many immigrates were allowed in america to join the work force and work for less then minimum wage? why was we lied too about weapons of mass destruction? why do we send billions of dollars overseas to rebuild a country, where that country has no value on life? why was companies with certain ties to very important people incontrol of america, offered the contracts first? why has inflation been on a steady increase since september 11th? yet you blame the american public for not making their mortgage payments and also blame the public for the fall of indymac!

Bad loans and shaky mortgages to people that didn''t qualify. Now it collapses. Bankers trying to make a quick buck, have betrayed their clients who trusted them with their money. Start putting these crooks behind bars immediately and seizing all their assets to pay back their depositors. Maybe others won''t be as quick to decieve when they start losing their life-savings and homes.

It is the American dream. The truth is that there are simply a great many Americans who don''''t have the income, don''''t have the drive to maintain a payment schedule and don''''t deserve to own a home. At the same time the same hedge funds and speculators who have driven up the price of oil $40/barrel drove the market for subprime loans. POLITICIANS ARE INHERENTLY CORRUPT.

It''s all relative to the times buddy. When wealth concentrates in the hands of fewer and fewer the game of Monopoly ends. You''re children if you have any may have your abilities and more but they just might not have the opportunity in the future. My dad prospered due to an economy that made it possible.

This wasn''t a case of bad Republicans or bad Democrats. It was a case of BAD BOTH PARTIES. Republicans pandering to large financial institutions to be more and more deregulated and Democrats pandering to the poor and the immigrants. The Democrats pushed and pushed and preached that it is everyone''s RIGHT to own a home. It is the American dream. The truth is that there are simply a great many Americans who don''t have the income, don''t have the drive to maintain a payment schedule and don''t deserve to own a home. At the same time the same hedge funds and speculators who have driven up the price of oil $40/barrel drove the market for subprime loans. POLITICIANS ARE INHERENTLY CORRUPT.

I wonder how supply side economics is doing still they try to fall on the same tired old ways. In acient Summarira if a king failed to full fill his commentment he was sold into slavery. Maybe we should do the same with our politicians and CEO''s who fail us.

Stop listening to the wing nuts and listen to the middle of the road you will do much better. Glad I didn''t have anything here but all banks are in danger of a bank run like we have never seen before.

"FOUR MORE YEARS, FOUR MORE YEARS," they chanted. They were mesmerized, terror-stricken, and propagandized into becoming false patriots. They jumped for joy at the Patriot''s Act, they bought lapel pins of the flag by the droves. They looked at those who were skeptical and said, " You''re Un-American." Sad, sad, sad.
