Text of the abomination for those interested.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Found a loophole already. Check out subsection (e) in Section 101 that outlines the standards for Preventing Unjust Enrichment:

...This subsection does not apply to troubled assets acquired in a merger or acquisition, or a purchase of as sets from a financial institution in conservatorship or receivership, or that has initiated bankruptcy proceedings under title 11, United States Code.

[MrPiper]

I couldn’t open it. States that it may be corrupt and refused to open (Firefox). Have never had this happen before. I have a MAC and just updated Firefox.

open it in explorer, it would not load w/foxfire for me either.

[goldstategop]

Its the ugliest kind of corporate welfare I've ever seen! I'm against it completely!!!

You should post the whole list so we can see which fine republicans got money too.

[SlowBoat407]

65% of proceeds into the housing trust fund??? This is better???

Shut it down now!!!

[goldstategop]

This is the House GOP looking out for US??? What a friggin' joke! This bill needs to be voted DOWN!!!

7 SEC. 112. COORDINATION WITH FOREIGN AUTHORITIES 8 AND CENTRAL BANKS. 9 The Secretary shall coordinate, as appropriate, with 10 foreign financial authorities and central banks to work to11 ward the establishment of similar programs by such au12 thorities and central banks. To the extent that such for13 eign financial authorities or banks hold troubled assets as 14 a result of extending financing to financial institutions 15 that have failed or defaulted on such financing, such trou16 bled assets qualify for purchase under section 101.

There's the NEW WORLD ORDER, spelled out for you.

This is setting up the ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT!

[AndyJackson]

The problems start off right at the beginning:

FINANCIAL INSTITUTION.—The term ‘‘fi1nancial institution’’ means any institution, including, but not limited to, any bank, savings association, credit union, security broker or dealer, or insurance company, organized and regulated under the laws of the United States or any State, territory, or posses21 sion of the United States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, American Samoa, or the United States Virgin Islands, and having significant operations in the United States, but excluding any central bank of, or institution owned by, a foreign government.

This is nuts. Regulated commercial banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System - ok for the sake of argument - but if the others go bankrupt - good ridence.

[KansasGirl]

I believe that is pretty close to the way it was worded before.

[dragnet2]

Should I post the whole thing?

[icwhatudo]

CHECK OUT THIS BS TRICK!!!---CONGRESS DOESN'T HAVE TO VOTE "YES" FOR IT TO BE 700 BILLION. THIS IS A KEY POINT FOLKS!!!

"12 (c) FAST TRACK CONSIDERATION.—
13 (1) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding any other 14 provision of this section, the Secretary may not exer15 cise any authority to make purchases under this Act 16 with regard to any amount in excess of 17 $350,000,000,000 previously obligated, as described 18 in this section if, within 10 calendar days after the 19 date on which Congress receives a report of the Sec20 retary described in subsection (a)(3), Congress en21 acts a joint resolution disapproving the plan of the 22 Secretary with respect to such additional amount."

Translation: As long as congress doesn't specifically schedule and have a vote (great Pelosi trick on so many issues) in 10 days after they go above the 350 billion, it just happens. No yes vote to do it needed, no accountability. Folks, this is a key point-NO ACCOUNTABILITY FOR IT TO GO TO 700 Billion!

NO VOTE NEEDED TO GO TO 700 BILLION!!!

NO VOTE NEEDED TO GO TO 700 BILLION!!!

NO VOTE NEEDED TO GO TO 700 BILLION!!!

[DRey]

65% of proceeds into the housing trust fund???

And don't forget....that's NET, not gross. So if in the end we take a $7 billion loss, but there were individual sales that turned a little profit, ACORN gets to skim 20% off those profits, while as a whole we took a massive loss. This is theft. These are the INTOLERABLE ACTS that spawned the American Revolution. This is what it was all about right here, folks.

Should I post the whole thing?

It would take a lot of reformatting to get it looking right in HTML. I'm looking for a converter. I had one around here somewhere...

[plain talk]

Based on the first page I’m saying NO SALE.

They aren't asking you. That's the problem. The dems are in charge.

[cripplecreek]

And all the republicans are voting no?

[goldstategop]

Yep. They're trying to push a fast one over the Reps. This bill deserves a NO vote from the GOP caucus!

To provide authority for the Federal Government to purchase certain types of troubled assets for the purposes of providing stability to and preventing disruption in the economy and financial system and protecting taxpayers, and for other purposes.

I didn't have to read any farther than that to know we're in trouble.

Handouts for low income housing.

Someone with more knowledge about congressional rules needs to look at page 55:

4 (6) COORDINATION WITH ACTION BY OTHER 5 HOUSE.

—If, before the passage by one House of a 6 resolution of that House described in paragraph (2), 7 that House receives from the other House a resolu8 tion described in paragraph (2), then the following 9 procedures shall apply: 10 (A) The resolution of the other House shall 11 not be referred to a committee. 12 (B) With respect to a resolution described 13 in paragraph (2) of the House receiving the res14 olution— 15 (i) the procedure in that House shall 16 be the same as if no resolution had been 17 received from the other House; but 18 (ii) the vote on final passage shall be 19 on the resolution of the other House.

I could be wrong but are they saying if the senate passes this bill first, the House can't amend it and can only vote yes or no on what the senate did?

(9) TROUBLED ASSETS.—The term ‘‘troubled assets’’ means—
(A) residential or commercial mortgages
and any securities, obligations, or other
instruments that are based on or related to such
mortgages, that in each case was originated or
issued on or before March 14, 2008, the
purchase of which the Secretary determines
promotes financial market stability; and

---

I disagree with this. Bailing out mortgage based Credit Default Swaps provides no asset.

[SlowBoat407]

I just spoke to Thelma Drake’s office (r-VA). They told me they have not even received a draft yet, and the version CNN has put out may or may not be old. The brackets indicate items that are under discussion, and Thelma’s office was assured that the HTF language was being removed.

They were as surprised as we were.

Note: I did not speak to Thelma directly, but her office seems to be on top of it.

[goldstategop]

In other words, ANY kind of bad debt, including foreign bad debt, with taxpayers money. This bill is a fraud!!!

[snippy_about_it]

I’m up to page 47. Too much power to the Secretary, too much.

[icwhatudo]

Another interesting thiing on page 77:

"11 SEC. 124. HOPE FOR HOMEOWNERS AMENDMENTS.

12 Section 257 of the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 13 1715z-23) is amended— 14 (1) in subsection (e)— 15 (A) in paragraph (1)(B), by inserting be16 fore ‘‘a ratio’’ the following: ‘‘, or thereafter is 17 likely to have, due to the terms of the mortgage 18 being reset,’’; 19 (B) in paragraph (2)(B), by inserting be20 fore the period at the end ‘‘(or such higher per21 centage as the Board determines, in the discre22 tion of the Board)’’; and 23 (C) in paragraph (4)— 24 (i) in the first sentence, by inserting 25 after ‘‘insured loan’’ the following: ‘‘and 1 any payments made under this para2 graph,’’; and 3 (ii) by inserting at the end the fol4 lowing ‘‘Such actions may include making 5 payments, which shall be accepted as pay6 ment in full of all indebtedness under the 7 eligible mortgage, to any holder of an ex8 isting subordinate mortgage in lieu of any 9 future appreciation payments authorized 10 under subparagraph (B).’’

Is this about renegotiating mortgage rates of existing mortgages? Did I just get screwed for paying a point to lock in 5% fixed rate when my asswipe neighbor went with no points adjustable rate? How the hell is this fair? I want his new rate and MY POINT BACK!

[Americanwolfsbrother]

Section 106 [D] must be removed for this. That is a total game stopper in my book. The rest smells to high heavens but 106 [D} is the worst.AWB

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

My converter doesn't do squat on this file. It works on others but there is a problem with this file.

Considering the source, it's probably corrupt...just like those who authored it.

[Syncro]

I didn’t count, but does that add up to 535 individuals?

[Syncro]

It doesn't even open for me.

Most PDF tell me they can't open and I close them and then they open. Didn't do it this time

We need this in HTML

[Califreak]

I put it on an excel spreadsheet.

[glaseatr]

Well I got to section 3 line 24 before I saw were gonna get the MASSIVE shaft.

Community of "Urban Affairs". Enough said.

[dragnet2]

LOL

[Syncro]

That’s nice

:>)

I still can’t get it

Can you post it in an excel spreadsheet? (Whatever that is...)

355

[glaseatr]

Community = Committee

[keepitreal]

Read on. Under HOPE the Federal Agencies holding the paper can reduce interest rates AND principal owed.

So, a diligent and responsible person who pays their bills and bought at the top of the market owes the same amount. A person who bought a house at the top of the market (and how many of them lied on their app documents or didn’t have to qualify at all) and is failing to make the house payments can have the principal of the loan reduced.

So, in other words, once the housing market recovers, these deadbeats will be UNJUSTLY ENRICHED with more equity in their homes after they get this break compared to the guy next door who diligently paid his mortgage and did not get such a break. UNREAL

[KansasGirl]

That is just horrible. That is so unfair.

Isn’t socialism grand!

[snippy_about_it]

Now up to page 71, they are creating a whole new bureaucracy to operate this things. Salaries of course to be paid out of the “fund”.

Bailout Bill's 5 Biggest Problems:

ACORN MONEY STILL IN THERE

TAXPAYERS BAILING OUT FOREIGN BANKS

NO VOTE NEEDED TO GO TO 700 BILLION

HOUSE CAN ONLY VOTE ON SENATE VERSION-NO AMENDMENTS

RENEGOTIATING MORTGAGE RATES WILL SCREW THE GOOD GUYS WHO PAY THEIR BILLS

[plangent]

A) 65 percent shall be deposited into the Housing Trust Fund established under section 1338 of the Federal Housing Enterprises Regu4 latory Reform Act of 1992 (12 U.S.C. 4568);

That is part of the ACORN provision.

[Syncro]

A person who bought a house at the top of the market (and how many of them lied on their app documents or didn’t have to qualify at all) and is failing to make the house payments can have the principal of the loan reduced.

So, in other words, once the housing market recovers, these deadbeats will be UNJUSTLY ENRICHED with more equity in their homes after they get this break compared to the guy next door who diligently paid his mortgage and did not get such a break

Do you have to be behind in your payments to qualify for reduction of the principal owed?

I'm asking for a friend...really.

[Syncro]

Thank you very much!

[DRey]

"They told me they have not even received a draft yet, and the version CNN has put out may or may not be old."

This is almost verbatim what I was told from Congressman Neugebauer's office. Sounds like talking points to me. She said he was "leaning no," but no decision yet. I cannot see how they could change from a "leaning no" to a yes with the bill that has been early posted.

I wish I could have formatted it better.

It may deserve it’s own thread if there is anyone lurking who is savvy enough to format it properly so it’s easier on the eyes.

If so, they are welcome to it.
