Re: Constituents Say NO Bailout! Congress Cuts Deal Anyway! It is time for a Revolution!

The government has wasted no time in bribing us into the housing market.

At a quarter of 6 this evening, a  recored phone call came in tempting me to buy a house.  The government will give me a stimulus payment to entice me to get into the housing, default morgages scheme.

It has taken them years to recognize the current problem, but they can fixit in just a few hours. HUHH???

Sorry I downsized 3 years ago and am very happy in my mobile home.

Hi Jim,

First, thank you for your kind donation of digital products for me to make available to the JP Award winners.

But I must disagree with you on your request for senators to vote against this rescue package, as the whole global financial market is now in free fall, with banks in Europe being bailed out by their respective governments.

This has come about because of sub prime lending, what this means is banks in the USA have lent money to people who couldn't really afford to pay a mortgage.  And so when they found out they couldn't pay have defaulted on their mortgage payments, So then the bank has reposesed their property. This then caused a slump in the USA housing market, and then they couldn't sell these assets on.

So what we here in Britain and the rest of Europe want is some sensible rescue package for the USA financial market, ok I agree with you that its a bum deal for the average Joe to comprehend, but its only a tempory measure.

You also have to remember that a lot of pension funds are tied up in banks and shares, so its really important that some sense prevails when the house votes again.  I personally have no axe to grind but I do understand how world economies work, and at the moment the USA is in crisis so don't think its just a bailout of the fat cats, its important for Joe public as well.

Well thats me finished on my soapbox

Best Wishes

John.

Hello John,

Thanks for stopping in and sharing your thoughts.

I for one know that the page-views often times is a search engine bots, our voters are welcome to drive by and vote without posting though it is preferred.

I have a thread that has an enormous amount of page views but very little participation other than from me.  But you know what it ranks well because of headline and the fact that I post there often.  I am happy for the extra traffic.

In the past we do know of ghosts in the community.  You know the ones that only appear when one of their own is up for something.  That happens in awards, pageants and elections no matter the venue.

I for one hope Everyone Votes or Visits the JPAward Forum http://community.adlandpro.com/forums/19895/ShowForum.aspx

Thanks,

Jim

 

May Wisdom and the knowledge you gained go with you,

UMASS CHAPLAIN: CAMPAIGN FOR OBAMA, GET COLLEGE CREDITS - from the Associated Press.

http://sensibleviews.wordpress.com/2008/09/26/university-of-mass-offers-college-credits-for-campaigning-for-obama/

So what about the much ballyhooed “separation of church and state” that so many liberals howl about when conservative Christians try and get their voices heard in the political arena? And here’s a Chaplain asking students at the University he’s employed by (probably paid for with taxpayer dollars in some way) to pound the pavement for his candidate courtesy of “an unnamed sponsor” from the university’s History Department.

So much for an education free of political bias.

(Thanks to The College Republican National Committee for the link. Be sure and visit their if you’d like to be part of the fight against liberal brainwashing in the nation’s institutions of higher education… I’ll probably add more information about them later on.)

May Wisdom and the knowledge you gained go with you,
