Sorry about your news Spare, hope things come around for your wife, she is in my prayers.
The rest of you fellows make good points and there is truth in all of it. But you are also doing what good men do when they discuss tough times, they bring it back on themselves.
We should save more, we should use less credit, all true.
But WE are not the problem.
When you guys get the chance I would like for you to go to Mark Levin . com and pull up a transcript of his radio show this past friday.

I don't hear his show in this area, but I've heard good things about him.

There should be an investigation into the mortgage meltdown, allright, and the target should be CONGRESS. They started the banks down this road, mandating that mortgage requirements be loosened so that ANYONE could get a mortgage, even those with no job. It's called the Community Reinvestment Act, and it was a boondoggle of epic proportions. Then they said to the banks, don't worry about these bad loans, we (via Fannie and Freddie) will buy them from you. Then F & F bundled them up and re-sold them as "mortgage securities," never mind that they were no good. It was Congressional regulation, not de-regulation, that is directly responsible for this. If you hear anyone claiming that de-regulation was the cause, look more closely because it's likely that the claimant is trying to cover his/her own culpability.
 
mad?

Don't let it bother you too much.......there ain't a damn thing you or I can do about it...

I say go fishin and let her ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Thats easy for you to say, you have TWO garages full of toys.

Seriously, I am ready to vote against ALL incumbants.....the new guys may not be any better, but they couldn't be much worse.

(I know its not good or possible to just do a wholesale change of everyone, I'm just spouting)
 
Toys or no toys you make ur own luck in this world by making sound decisions and working hard to get what you want.

I had many prosperous years under Clinton but I don't give him an ounce of credit for it....

This economy, hell the world economy swings on a fine thread and is subject to unraval at any time......always position yourself accordingly for a soft landing....

Whatever the outcome somebody has a big f----- mess to deal with and I wish them the best of luck!

Got to go and check the fuel level in the toys I hear theres sum kindof cookout coming up?? D
 
Mac and whoever else needed it I posted the link directly to the show I was talking about on the previous page.
Also you are right on the money, this has nothing to do at all with deregulation, that is the suspects mantra right now along with the phrase we need to help wall street and main street.
You ever watch the shell game? well it is being played out right now in a massive way.

I just got thru listenini' to this...and thanks for sharing...it's a real eye-opener...


Only question I have is why in 31 years hasn't somebody DONE something about it?...he says Bush tried in '03 and cited other attempts, but if this regulation (intervention) has been the looming ogre (31 years is a long time) for all these many years, w/the noted attempts excepted, hasn't somebody stood up to Schumer and Todd and told us what the hell's goin' on here and stopped it?...it's because nobody in the system wants to rock the boat or take a stand...and that applies to both sides of the aisle...I watched Schumer the other day, blow over DeMint in a TV interview...unfortunately, DeMint looked like a deer in the headlights...the real problem is, he didn't find another way to get his message out and we haven't heard anymore from him...I liked what he said, but sometimes these guys have gotta draw a line in the sand and stand on it...
 
Mark Levin makes some OK points sometimes, but I can't stand listening to him because he just treats his callers like dirt.
 
he has low tolerance for idiots sporting a party line or a talking point type of call, he would rather people think for themselves. Not how I would handle it and maybe not you either. But the simple fact of the matter he will not back off when he sees his country being led down a path of misery and against the very principles it was founded on.
If you listen to him you will find as I have that a lot of the talking heads on both sides of the aisles are getting opinion and perspective from him and bloviating about it the next day.
I also like him because he is a walking encyclopedia of the history of our country, the history of the good points and bad of both parties and he will hammer republicans when they screw up and lie or decieve as fast as he will a democrat.
Yes he is a conservative, so am I. Yes his voice is irratating at times, he is the first one to ridicule himself about it. Yes he has low tolerance for fools.
But he holds all in washington feet to the fire when they try and getaway with their crap and he will always give you the straight skinny on what is really going on and very few of the politicians will go on his show because if you think the "no spin zone" is on Oreilly you will be astounded when he gets one on his show, he is polite but when one of them spouts BS he jumps right on them and puts the facts right in their faces. I have heard several go into full blown stutter fits when they try to slip something by him. He has is Doctorate in constitutional law and is an Attorney, for you guys who do not know him. He was staff fopr Reagan, and second in command at the attorney generals office after that. He also has a doctorate in U.S History I believe. Very smart man.
 
I agree with you Willy that he is incredibly smart, and he really knows what he is talking about. I sure would not want to get in a debate with him. He would chew my head off!
 
And Ozzie I agree with you 110%, and if you listen to the whole show so does Dr. Levin.
We have had politicians including McCain take a stand against what has been happening, the social engineering and interference with the free market.
They have been villified in the press and made out to be against poor americans getting into home ownership. against the advancement of poor people especially black people every time they tried.
In the end they did not have the power to change it and nobody listened when they did.
I am not giving excuses for anyone, our leaders let us down and set us up for this.
But now they want to give away money we don't even have, and increase the regulation and social engineering and are using this crisis to do it.
The facgt of the matter is we don't have to give anything away and if they do it the way the conservative congressmen are trying to force them to do it we may end up a couple of years down the road with a windfall return on our investment. Dems in the house don't want that, interferes with how they already have it spent in their minds. Their great socialist agenda of free everything for everybody. Do you believe that last month Shumer was on the tv talking about how he and Franks wanted to reduce the rules put in place for the Sorbane Oxley Act, which went into place for controlling accounting practices after the last home mortgage debacle. At the same interview he threw the republicans, including Bush and McCain under the bus for fighting him and Dodd from expanding the push to force banks to give more low interest loans out to the poor americans who want to live the dream.
Yes last month, unfu@@ingbelievable, I saw the show, Can't stand those men. Tony Soprano said it right, when he told the FBI guy that the politicians were the same as him, just they have the army backing them up.
