Nope..the good ones who kept themselves responsible will have to pay for those that didn't make good decisions.

Pay your mortgage and chip in for that other guy's mortgage as well.
This is America...owning a home is a RIGHT even if you can't afford it.

Recently, Hillary Clinton's campaign has picked up on this charge. In a March 27 conference call with reporters, Clinton spokesman Phil Singer claimed:
Singer (March 27): Sen. Obama has often referred to himself as “a constitutional law professor” out on the campaign trail. He never held any such title. And I think anyone, if you ask anyone in academia the distinction between a professor who has tenure and an instructor that does not, you’ll find that there is … you’ll get quite an emotional response.

Do I have this right? It would not take congressional approval and the only thing needed is a green light from the Treasury dept?

Default Double Standard

When Bush was giving away mortgages to people who couldn't aford to pay no one was complaining. Why is it a problem now?

I say bring it on. Give them free houses. Continue with the unemployment. Be the boss of last resort and pay state worker salaries. Let the Bush cuts expire for everyone and let the taxes rise up so that Congress has some fresh money to throw away on more pork or foreign worker training.

Print the money and don't stop.

After 3 years I'm tired of the games. Escalate the spending and taxing so we can finally have a Depression, default on the debt and get back to living our lives.

Do you really think that China, with its beefed up military, will just let the US default on its debt?

What is really sad is that there is not even pride enough within the government that the US should maintain good financial standing.

There are a few good people in Congress..less than a handful that speak out and truly represent "the people" but the majority of Corporate bought puppets just ignore them.
