To help pay for the Wall Street bailout, should we legalize and tax recreational drugs?

Could save money on DEA. They could be retrained to stop illegal immigrants.
Good idea. But then, I’ve always been fairly libertarian.

Do you believe Paulson and Bernanke are like Car Salesmen?

They seem to be on a rush to pass the 700 billion dollar bailout by promoting fear and panic.
They want to sell a 700 billion dollar car to taxpayers that will eventually lose its value once the car goes out of the lot. The 700 billion dollar car will not appreciate in value it will [...]

Why should I care about president Bush’s bailout?
Your taxes are going to go up, way up, meaning less money out of your paycheck to spend

With respect to the Wall Street bailout, why can’t there be a provision to hold senior execs criminally liable?

Icon Written by admin on September 30, 2008 – 2:30 pm

It seems to me that they leaders of these big firms have lied to people in order to pad their profiles. That’s a crime as far as I know. Shouldn’t these folks be thrown in jail. It doesn’t seem enough to me to have provisions in the bailout bill that keep them [...]



Are bad Republican economic policies the reason why we are about to fund the biggest bailout in US history?

Federal Reserve and Treasury officials say is the worst financial crisis they have ever seen. The government is about to buy mortgages at from banks and other institutions, thereby relieving them of their debt and transferring it to the taxpayers.
Republicans have been preaching deregulation, free market and laissez-faire and have gotten their way under [...]



What is the Government doing to aid home owners that are affected by the subprime loan crisis?

Icon Written by admin on September 30, 2008 – 2:30 pm

Don't wait for the government to help you.
Go to your lender and ask them to refinance your mortgage – rates are really low right now and your lender loses more if he needs to forclose on you, so he'll be willing to work with you.
Don't wait, try to re-fi, even if the value of your [...]

Watching Ron Paul grill Bernanke is always a treat, and tomorrow should be something special.
Don’t you think?
Here's his interview on CNN Sunday showing his general views.

What do you think of the bailout? Are you for it or against it?
If you are against the bailout I hope you are telling your reps so. You [...]
