Comments on: Bush Seeks $700B For Bad Debt Bailout

Administration Asks Congress for Ability To Buy Bad Mortgages, Raise National Debt Ceiling To $11.3 Trillion

[txgrouch2006]

EIGHT YEARS FROM NOW (IF our country still exists)

The US dollar will be worthless on the foreign market. We will be unable to buy ANY imports. Manufacturing will be forced to move back here OUT OF NECESSITY. We will become a self-sufficient and independent economy.

Foreign countries will cease to buy our bonds. Once we cease buying their exports to support their economy, they have no reason to continue lending money to us to prop up our sham economy. All deficit spending will cease.

Foreign sham economies that have been scavenging off ours will either sink or swim without us. Some or all will collapse, and they will cease to pose a threat of foreign competition in ANY market.

Credit will be unobtainable in this country. We will be forced to live within our means. If we want something expensive, we will have to SAVE OUR PENNIES and buy it out of savings.

There will be a mass exodus of recent immigrants when they realize things are better back home. So they%u2019ll go back home.

Illegal workers will stop at the border and ask themselves, %u201CIs it REALLY worth the trip? Things STINK there.%u201D

Even the lowest paying jobs will become available to PERSONS WHO WERE BORN HERE. And we%u2019ll take them because WE HAVE NOWHERE TO GO BACK TO.

In other words, WE WILL BE FORCED TO DO WHAT WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING ALL ALONG. But instead of doing it by choice, we will be FORCED INTO IT THE SLOW AND PAINFUL WAY.

I have been saying this for a long time...glad to hear someone else agree.
Get the criminals out of government, and wall street, and our country will survive.
Leave them continue and we are doomed...
ANYONE that makes less than $100k/yr and votes for the republiCONS is an IGNORANT IDIOT !!!

This could all be fixed if America learned to make things others in the world wanted to buy. It''s time to put 700 billion into novel forms of electricity production like fuel cells and largescale fusion reactors instead of bailing out crooked corporations. Unlimited free electricity would make the US rich and the world a cleaner, better place. The newly created companies that control the patents on the technology could continue to feed our government in the way they''ve become accustomed, so everyone could win.

Well, the vote on Bush''s corporate WELFARE plan to BIG BUSINESS will show all Americans which of their legislators'' are TRAITORS when they cast that vote which will comdemn future generations to abject poverty and countless suffering!

Put up a bill, vote on it, and show us WHO the traitors are! We DESERVE to know, with all the cr@p we''ve put up from this useless government!

Part 2

I left out a couple comments from my last post.

Republicans are WORSE than AL Queda!

Al Queda have done virtually nothing to America---yet!
And, for you dummies who don''t know it yet, THEY didn''t do 911---it was an inside job!

Whereas, Republicans have been an economic DISASTER to everyone who isn''t wealthy!

Not only has their lack of regulation resulted in Wall Street''s meltdown, but rising unemployment, loss of good paying jobs, rising costs on everything!, a soaring budget deficit and national debt, a worthless dollar, and made us a joke in the world community!

If these things weren''t bad enough, in the process it was deemed NECESSARY by these morons, to essentially shred the Constitution & the Bill of Rights! To spy on the public to ''information mine'' NOT to protect America, but to accumulate intel about it''s citizens!

NO! Al Queda isn''t the threat to America and it wasn''t them that caused ALL these problems that they could only HOPE to achieve, instead it was the Republican party! They are responsible for the decline America is in, and now, they want to make it worse! And we see, just how much they hate America!

The financial meltdown is the scheme of George W. Bush, *** Cheney, John McCain, and the Republican Party to get rid of Social Security in the United States.

[stn_sage]

The workers will never be able to retire and will be forced to work McJobs until their 80 as long as Wallstreet greed exists, and who is going to stop them ? Not the republicans, they''''ll just keep handing over money and then put up walls to keep us out.

America has become a joke of a country, problem is the joke is not funny.

repubicans are a joke, and I have not one positve thought or nice thing to say to one. I dispise republicans as much as AL Quaida, there all worthy of the death sentence... every single one of you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!

Don''t you worry brother, because you''re NOT alone!
Bush''s HUGE bailout of the CORPORATE WEALTHY has pushed and is pushing people toward your views regarding Republicans. If the economy tightens and/or collapses, we''ll have the second American Civil War!

It''ll be everyone against the Republicans!

Anyway, it looks like it is a make believe economy.Printing bills like there is no tomorrow.

Sarah Pilan and her husband also drive cars with personalized number plates

When you have seven homes, that''s a lot of garages to fill. After the fuss over the number of residences owned by the two presidential nominees, NEWSWEEK looked into the candidates'' cars. And based on public vehicle-registration records, here''s the score. John and Cindy McCain: 13. Barack and Michelle Obama: one.

(The McCain campaign did not respond to multiple requests for comment.)

Obama''s lone vehicle also is a green machine, a 2008 Ford Escape hybrid. He bought it last year to replace the family''s Chrysler 300C, a Hemi-powered sedan. Obama ditched the 300C, once 50 Cent''s preferred ride, after taking heat for driving a guzzler while haranguing Detroit about building more fuel-efficient cars.

McCain''s personal ride, a 2004 Cadillac CTS, is no gas sipper, but it should make Detroit happy because it''s made by General Motors. "I''ve bought American literally all my life and I''m proud," McCain said in the interview with Detroit''s WXYZ-TV. But the rest of his fleet is not all-American. There''s a 2005 Volkswagen convertible in the along .... The McCains also own three 2000 NEV Gem electric vehicles, which are bubble-shaped cars popular in retirement communities.

Only the Cadillac is registered in the candidate''s name. Cindy McCain''s name is on 11 vehicles, though not the one she actually drives. That car, a Lexus, is registered to her family''s beer-distributor business and is outfitted with personalized plates that read MS BUD.
