I guess we\'ll soon find out. This \"bailout\" suspiciously resembles one of those Nigerian scams, only this time it\'s the US Treasury that\'s asking for money. No thanks! - Fran Thu, 02 Oct 2008 14:46:57 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5718/925/#comment-7957 This is gone, so it seems we will ask the ones that are bribed to take our kids and grand kids money to pay for their friends greed. Sounds good to me. What we have is a government laced with legal crooks.\"Follow the money?\"My God how could I? - James Wed, 01 Oct 2008 08:35:06 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5718/925/#comment-7994 If I\'m not mistaken 93 Democratics voted no. So much for leadership allowing her flock to run because she thought the Republicans vote was in her camp. The majority is hers, if she had keeped all on board the bill would have passed. So we only look at the side that fits your talking points. This blame game that is used to validate a political point is dishonest and both sides do it. If you stay their sheep all I can say is stand by You have not seen any thing yet. - James Mon, 29 Sep 2008 20:01:48 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5718/925/#comment-7989 do avail yourselves to www.newsmeat.com and follow the money!!! let\'s start with Henry Paulson!!!! this is first base and where changes [u][b]NEED[/b][/u] to be met to even begin to reform this mess!!

No problem with your thoughts,on the same page. So am I to infer Obama carries no bad baggage? I don\'t care who is the next president. This mess is not going away.Wish,dream,pray use voodoo or hope. The system is totally corrupt and as the straw on the camels back there is that point that weight is a burden and collapses, I don\'t say its the end only that what you knew is not going to be the same. There is going to be a mess to unravel.what do I know I\'m only a old man and you never hear the one that tells the truth. - James Fri, 26 Sep 2008 18:23:08 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5718/925/#comment-7976 :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: - scitt Fri, 26 Sep 2008 16:33:24 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5718/925/#comment-7975 Just read that all over the nation, the majority of americans are saying no bailout. Let them fail. It\'s time to start over anyway. - scitt Fri, 26 Sep 2008 16:31:20 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5718/925/#comment-7973 when you agreed with O\'Really... However I agree that there are a number of folks who need some quiet time in a not so country club atmosphere. Let\'s start with the Bush family and the Cheney\'s and all the other neocon freaks who have been doing the same thing to the middle class for years. Don\'t forget that the last time something this bad happened, the S&L crisis, the same crowd was at the center of it only then it was Georges brother Neil. Federal prison terms for all the bushes is in order, right up to digging up Prescott and trying him for trading with the Nazis. If we want to keep our country we\'d probably better start collecting pitchforks and torches or the aristocracy will simply continue down the path of enriching themselves at our expense until there is nothing recognizable left of the middle class. What is really most galling to me is that this \'free market\' crowd is willing to socialize the losses without an end in sight or any repayment of the loan to keep the rich rich. I thought they were opposed to socialism? And how exactly is protecting Wall street shmucks lavish lifestyles going to help Main street? - John Fri, 26 Sep 2008 11:11:21 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5718/925/#comment-7969 I\'m starting to get really sick of McCain and his solutions. He supposedly has one for Iraq and all we have to do is elect him and he will tell us. So whats the deal, he doesn\'t get elected will he still not pipe up?? If he really has an answer why not tell us now - waiting puts the blood of every lost life all over his hands. Now you tell me he has the solution for this mess. But wait, let me guess, we don\'t get to know unless we elect him. So he\'s good with letting more people lose their homes while waiting on the election. Nice set of morals and character your candidate has. There is a lot of fraud here Lamar, Jonny Mac sharpened his teeth with the Keating Five (yes, all five SHOULD have gone to jail) and has only gotten better over the years at perpetrating it. Anyone that carries his water has blood on their hands too. Perhaps they are hoping to wash it all away as they "drown government in a bathtub". By expanding it. Geesh - Donna Christopher Fri, 26 Sep 2008 08:59:03 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5718/925/#comment-7968 Your philosophy could be right and it would save us all if only we would heed your words. The problem is those that profess your belives are only shouting rhetoric. The power they seek has corrupted them and the reason for their being is lost. You that think its the other party, your wrong its both the corruption is complete. Their lost with power and greed and the right of the cause has been forgotten. - James Fri, 26 Sep 2008 08:29:23 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5718/925/#comment-7962 Deregulation of financial markets have the signatures of John McCain and George Bush, among others, all over them. Lets not forget that McCain was 1 of the 5 US senators taking bribes from Charles Keating to keep regulators from paying attention to the Lincoln Saving and Loan bankruptcy of the late 1980s. Keeping regulators away, with the eventual collapse of over 700 S&Ls, while Keating could walk with the cash. Is that the free market we want? Does anyone care about this, or is it just old news? McCain calls himself a maverick, but sure seems to be working for the very rich. - jmadison Fri, 26 Sep 2008 07:01:45 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5718/925/#comment-7961 that the US government did not have enough resources to pay for the things we citizens need...like healthcare, social security, education, infra-structure, national security, disaster relief, childcare, veterans benefits, environmental projects, even military supplies...the list is a long one. So how is it that we suddenly have an extra 700bn to pay for anything? Even if the US gov\'t HAD the money, which it clearly doesn\'t (and probably won\'t) doesn\'t the phrase \"Don\'t throw good money after bad\" come to mind? James Galbraith in yesterday\'s wapo \"A Bailout we Don\'t Need\" read it here [url]http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/24/AR2008092403033_pf.html[/url] - taxismom Fri, 26 Sep 2008 06:07:46 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5718/925/#comment-7959 Time may be running out on the neocon Republican regime, so although they have already bilked the U.S. Treasure of hundreds of billions in lost revenue from their Don\'t Tax The Rich policy, expenditures funding the bogus War On Terror and Iraq Occupation, and countless other scams, the are pulling of this on last bank job, using the same kind of fear and panic tactics they used to get our troops into Iraq. If you stick up your local bank you will spend years in prison. If you use lies, deceit, and fear-mongering to raid the U.S. Treasury, you will enhance your wealth and security. Please show me where in the U.S. Constitution it authorizes the Federal Government to use Treasury funds for \"bailouts\", not that anyone in Washington DC seems to be concerned about preserving, protecting, or defending the provisions and principles of Constitutional government. We could start reclaiming government of, for, and by the People with a Constitutional amendment specifically denying corporations the rights that citizens should be enjoying (but in many cases no longer are). - futhark Fri, 26 Sep 2008 05:35:27 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5718/925/#comment-7954 I do hope Newt Gingrich is correct and that Sen. John McCain can come up with a better solution to this Wall Street fiasco than President Bush and the Democrats. Somebody needs to go to jail here. Major brokerage houses are trading bad mortgage-backed paper. Management knows it is bad and does it anyway. Isn\'t there a name for that kind of behavior? Isn\'t that fraud? Should hardworking Americans provide the funds to people who engage in that kind of behavior so they can be fleeced again? I agree with Fox\'s Bill O\'Reilly. We need the money put back into our economy so that foreign investors do not take their money OUT of our economy. But, if Wall Street is going to continue to trade mortgage-backed securities, we cannot allow that paper to be traded when the folks doing the trading know it is worthless. The way financial lending in this country works has to change. It has to become better regulated and more accountable. No more fraud! Lamar Morgan - lamar Fri, 26 Sep 2008 01:39:42 +0100
