That way we can take one more step toward one world, one bank, one government.

What a Fool Believes by the Doobie Brothers

He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool dont see
Tryin hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life

She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
Hes watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all keeps sending him…

Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe theres a place in her life
Someday, somewhere, she will return

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
Hes watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
Theres nothing at all

Yeah like everybody in DC trusts SOROs right now. Like the FBI isn’t thinking about him with respect to selling short.

I see they ADDED 110 Billion to the bill. Can you imagine the nerve of these people. We were livid over 700 billion and we are going to be happy about 810 billion?

Oh that’s right…like P4 says, “We just don’t understand…..”

Uppity this mofofest is bad….after all that research I did for today guess what?

Eight Bailout Questions

How many times over the last few days have we heard politicians, talking heads and other self-proclaimed “experts” tell us the reason the $700 billion bailout is so wildly unpopular is that we just don’t understand it. The economy is complicated. Just trust Congress, President Bush and his royal highness, Hank Paulson. They’ll fix it. Don’t worry about that $700 billion number. It only sounds high.

Well. If that’s the case – if we’re really too dumb to understand what’s happening – perhaps Congress can show us how much they know. To start, here are some questions I’d like answered.

1) Since the White House introduced the bailout last week, a number of alternative ideas have been proposed. For one, Michigan Republican Thaddeus McCotter wrote a 10-point plan that carries no cost to taxpayers. Others, like George Soros’, are significantly less expensive and, in his estimation, likelier to be effective. Can you explain why this bill is the best option, despite being the most expensive?

2) We’re told the bailout could actually turn a profit for taxpayers. Assuming that’s true, how can we be sure the money actually ends up back in taxpayers’ hands? For years the Social Security system took in more money than it paid out, yet instead of putting the surplus revenue toward future benefits, Congress snatched that extra cash for general expenditures. Likewise, Fannie and Freddie’s “profits,” were used for congressional pet projects. With this track record, how can we trust that this program will be any different?

3) The McCain campaign yesterday pointed out that the most recent housing bill gave the government nearly $1 trillion to purchase mortgages. If this is true, why exactly does Congress need to pass this monstrous legislation?

4) Does the latest version of this bill still “allow the government to purchase troubled assets from pension plans, local governments, and small banks that serve low- and middle-income families”? Americans are having a hard enough time swallowing the idea of a bailout for irresponsible home, car, and student lending. The notion that we’ll be on the hook for insolvent pension plans administered by awful, union-controlled lawmakers in cities like Detroit and New York is simply insane.

5) Does the bill’s preamble still proclaim that the law “provides authority to the treasury secretary to … ensure the economic well-being of Americans?” Does anyone know if there are limitations to this seemingly unbridled authority? Otherwise, what prevents the Treasury secretary from becoming a de-facto dictator? This strikes me as especially worth discussion.

6) Are there still no meaningful curtailments of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Does the bill contain anything even hinting at accountability?

7) What concrete assurances do taxpayers have that the turmoil’s provenance – Carter and Clinton-era social-engineering dictums that upended safe-lending practices in favor of higher minority home ownership – will forever be outlawed? How do we know taxpayers won’t be asked to finance another $700 billion bailout in 10 years? What has Congress learned from its past mistakes?

After Enron’s collapse, former CEO Jeffrey Skilling, then-CEO Ken Lay, and then-CFO Andrew Fastow, were called to testify before Congress. According to the Business and Media Institute, Fannie’s and Freddie’s overstated earnings were 19 times larger than Enron’s fake numbers. So when can we expect Congress to call Jim Johnson, Franklin Raines, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and the rest of Fannie’s and Freddie’s enablers to testify before Congress?

At the end of the day, we’re not being asked to bailout Wall St. so much as we are the Democratic Party. For $700 billion, answers to the questions above are the least Congress can do in return.

Senator McCain,

With all due respect, I don’t think that anyone, especially those of us with retirement funds at stake, are advocating for inaction. We want the right action — action that makes the companies, the lenders and the individuals responsible for getting themselves, and by extension us, into this mess, to bear a larger share of the responsibility for getting themselves out of it. You could call it a Welfare to Work program for corporations and lenders. Nor do I think that the majority of voters feel it appropriate for us to be giving our tax dollars to organizations like ACORN.

I am disappointed in your campaign staff for not crafting more decisive, clear and potent messaging around the crucial differences between the original plan laid out by Paulson and Bush, and what the House Republicans have advocated.

I think that many, many Americans are instinctively confused by and suspicious of the seeming collusion of the extreme left with the Bush Administration. This Administration rolled out eerily similar sounding scare tactics, complete with lots of “evidence” supported by all of their “experts” leading up to the war with Iraq.

I don’t need to remind you that your opponent won his primary based on the near unanimous support of Congress on the basis of Bush’s “evidence.”

It could be that the public just doesn’t understand Paulson’s plan. Or it’s very possible that they smell a rat. There are a lot of us out here who tremble at the thought of being in debt to the likes of those represented by Paulson and Bernanke — members of The Trilateral Commission, and the Council on Foreign Relations for starters.

Those of us aware of these people’s need to bring the Middle East and Africa into alignment with their agenda have little doubt about which presidential candidate they feel could help them achieve their goals.

Senator McCain, I am a lifelong (state omitted here) Democrat who has left her tribe to support you. I have been very vocal in my support for you and as a result have been socially ostracized, called a “racist”, a “Paleocon” and a “Goose-Stepper.” My career in the (my occupation omitted) is threatened, as well as life-long friendships and some family relationships.

Am I minimizing the financial jeopardy that faces our nation and my own security? No. Undoubtedly, the situation is dire. I am, however, profoundly worried about how much more devastation the wrong action could bring.
