tax revolt-- married and nine on exemptions- cut off the governments supply and they will hear you because they are not listening right now.

"So five years ago, there was one of those rare moments in Washington when the branches and personalities of government—in this case, the Bush administration—are less interested in protecting or expanding their turf than in fixing a looming catastrophe." So, if the president proposes that the oversight be removed from congress and to the treasury department that they control, they are not expanding their turf? Do you read what you write?

The truth rarely comes out because the liberals and the media are definitely in bed together. For anyone to suggest otherwise, just means you are in bed with them. That is also why SO many issues with Whitewater, Obama's life, the mortgage crisis, rarely make headlines, unless a conservative is in trouble.

NO BAILOUT FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE COMPANIES. THEY NEED TO CHANGE OLD PROMISES OF PENSIONS, HEALTH CARE, WORK RULES. THE UNION NEEDS TO GO. MONEY GIVEN WILL BE WASTED.

YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM WE ARE IN TROUBLE. YOU DID NOT HELP TO PUT FREDDIE & FANNIE UNDER CONTROL. YOU SHOULD RESIGN. YOU ARE IRRESPONSIBLE.

Since it is true that Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Chris Dodd,and Barack Obama, were on the receiving end of contributions from both Fannies, this should be investigated by the Attorney General before a change in the Administration.
