John McCain & the Bailout: Kill Here, Kill Now?

This is not a bailout

They are trying to inject liquidity into the system. If our credit markets remain locked we risk systemic breakdown. You want to experience the great depression? Oh you will. If the Democrats get their way the taxpayer will be compensated in the form of warrants. If the small fraction of Republicans that want the alternative plan have their way we are in some trouble. This is all political and sickening. Their lack of regulation got us into this mess. Now we need clear leadership out of it. I'm in banking - I get it. Read up on the subject. Our country faces great peril if we don't get money back into the system.

This should not be partisan politics - right now we all need to grab the raft and hang on.

Bail-out

It seems a little unfair that this Congress so close to an election has to decide on the future of America, and many of it's exsisting and future social plans. Why not do a stop-gap measure, of $200 billion until after this election and then decide with due process of thought.

no to bailout

Dear Senator McCain:

I WISH you were my Representative, since you can say “NO” to the proposed bailout.

I have always voted Republican; however, I do not see my Georgia Republican representatives standing up against this EVIL Bailout! Please, do whatever you can to urge them and other Republicans to vote “NO” to the Bailouts!

Please urge Congress and the Feds AGAIN to slow down and be more creative than this. It took years to get here. If the same people that came up with CDOs, MBSs and GSEs, etc. can’t come up with a better solution than destroying the foundation of our government and what it means to be an American, then we have more problems than just the economy.

It may take a few years of deep recession to wake up America to the fact that you can’t borrow your way through life. This would be a worthy sacrifice for all of us.

The alternative is not only a bad economy, but a Socialist Government of America!!!!! And a lifetime of Democrats being in charge!

Fear

How much fear mongering will the American public buy?

fear, fear, and more fear! This administration's mantra. Both Obama and McCain should say no way! We can wait until after the election... haste will make even more waste!

sub prime loans

$10,000 per family to put poor people into" their own homes', which we pay for, especially when they default, makes me mad. God forbid they should have to rent!! My family did when they lost their home during the great depression, until they saved enough money to buy. What's wrong with that?! The democrats have treated the poor so well that they have destroyed the middle class which has to pay their health care, education, housing, and food already. When we import 1,000,000 legal residents a year, it's no wonder that the middle class is fast becoming the poor class! Obama talks about helping us and turns around with $10,000 per family tax! I for one have had it!
