Lutz also said the key word is “accountability” and this is what everyone here on FR has been saying for years now.
we bought 80% of AIG at a severe low.
it was depressed in part by short selling which is now suspended.
rather than knee jerk perhaps we should be looking to see how we are going to make a profit.
THink RTC.
Just more of the finger pointing about the money markets. Nothing really to see, just a bunch a people trying to justify their jobs to the American People.
Just INHO we should get rid of the whole darned lot!
Naahhhh... they leave all the tough questions for us. We start the ball rolling and then Rush, Sean and Mark kick it out of the stadium tomorrow.
Anyone hear Mark's show Friday? It was truly revealing! He exposed everyone and linked the deal to the rats like no one it was a riveting expose.
Hard Jobs=New Media=always up to the task!
It’s a mess isn’t it? On Friday he mentioned all the bad real estate loans that brought this about- I’m hoping he NAILS the Fannie/Freddie disaster.
accountability is a very diluted word.
for democrats accountability is just code for government control and supervision.
for conservatives it is personal.
luntz has a credibility issue. He could not grasp Hillary is a socialist. I very much doubt he can comprehend obama is even MORE of a socialist.
We must let our constituents(those who don't qualify for standard home loans) to have the loans anyway.
So Dem/rats broke all the rules that bankers had used for years and sooner rather than later we have lots of people who bought homes they could ill afford that should not have been there to begin with, not paying their mortgages and defaulting.
Do we now give all of them a pass or let banks foreclose, giving passes just brings us one step closer to Socialism which is where we are headed.
Let's hope McCain and Sarah can turn this lipsticked pig around and head it back to the barn where it belongs.
I think it is time for FNF to try a brunette in the AM
the fungible blonds (attn rio linda: that word means interchangable) need to go.
They also need to lose the effete hair mouse men.
Any of the moderators from FR would be a good replacement...
Are you seriously contending that the above cited radio personalities base their shows on this thread?
FNC just ran a repeat of who’s to blame. It too fixes the date at 1999. That would be Clinton but it is also with a Republican congress.
Allowing the commercial banking industry to combine with the investment industry without solid oversight seems to be the underlying culprit in all this.
One more reason to oppose power and money in DC. We need government to keep the playing field level but they must be stopped from helping businesses, or choosing winners and losers.
When businesses do well and make money, shareholders benefit. When things go the other way shareholders lose., To change that equation and we are head in the wrong direction IMHO.
But as I said yesterday I am not an economist/financier nor do I play one on TV.
FR has been mentioned on occasion.
Keep in mind, FR is a drive by media blockade runner.
Now yo have done it! Spitting coffee all over key board!!
Back, back under the bridge,too early for you. Call me when your 30 years experience in broadcasting is complete.
Nine per cent Nan is STILL pimping for this. "We have to protect main street as well as wall street and make sure people can keep their homes..."
She's not the only one pushing more poison as the antidote but she's one of the "leaders".
Thank you! I needed this.
Morning folks! While there is a ton of blame to go round, I put more of it on the Community Redevelopmenmt Act thab the repeal of the Glass Steagel Act.
Had to be repeated.
Your brilliance is once again shining through. Govt. should be a "minor" regulator in business not a player.
