Don't fall for it. It's a Beer TARP!
The Democrats propose to tear down the Washington Monument. The Republicans counter with a plan to do it in three stages. They settle on a “bipartisan” plan to do it in two stages. That’s the Washington, DC way in the age of the two-legged Republican/Democrat socialist beast.
Oh yeaaaaah!
For who? Those of us living in the bombed out aftermath are already eating squirrel for supper a couple of times a week. They gonna kill the squirrels?
The nation and the financial system needs a tonic to clean out the dreck.
Then, we can begin, again, older, wiser, and poorer. You know, the way humans learn things, for a short time.

Well, no matter how you slice and dice it or twist and turn it, the real problem remains the same. Big, bloated, expensive, overbearing government. And the solution is simple. Repeal ObamaCare. Shutter the EPA. Call off the ridiculous war on coal, oil, gas and energy. Scrap the so-called green energy boondoggle. Cut government salaries, pensions, benefits, unions, etc. Cut the strangling regulations and bureaucracy. Cut the red tape. End the war against capitalism. Cut the size and scope of government. Drastically cut the spending. Cut the taxes. Get the government off our backs and out of our way. Set our people free to produce and let the free economy soar!!
TARP was a bad idea from top to bottom. I think history shows that.
If companies are going to fail, let them fail and let their competitors fill the vacuum.
These people a completely un-serious!
Shut
It
Down
Obama will have to CHOOSE to not service the debt, at which point Republicans can criticize his priorities. Why would he ruin our credit and our country and still spend money on modern art for the rich? Why would he keep Obamacare and ruin the country’s credit? There is no downside to the Republicans holding firm on the debt ceiling. What is the point of having a debt ceiling if it keeps getting raised everytime? Is it a real cap or just a lie to the American people?
We can either take action now and control our own trajectory, or wait 10 years and let the markets do it for us. The problem with kicking the can down the road, is that eventually you run out of road.
I think it is time the banks bailed out the government.

It isn't a matter of getting more solvent by going deeper in debt, it is a question of where the tunel will end. More money without spending constraints is foolish, too.
Let's see some significant cuts in the Federal budget, not just the scare tactics of going after the elderly and essential services.
What happened to all those "nonessential Federal employees" who don't have to show up when there is a snowstorm. If they are "nonessential", why are we paying them?
That'd be a good place to start.
Every few years it seems the oil patch goes through a 'bust', it has made for lean corporate heirarchies, merit based advancement, and a trimming of the nonproductive from payrols.
It's government's turn. They've been growing since the Civil War.
I see no compelling reason to raise the debt ceiling, and I’m OK if SS checks don’t get mailed and/or bonds don’t get paid.
Frankly, the apocolypse card has been over-played. Now I’m immune to it.
Tea Party freshmen and their supporters hold this establishment in contempt. Implicitly invoking TARP, as Pelosi did when she mentioned a stock-market crash, won’t scare them; it will only embolden them.
Contempt, Hmmmm, Yes possibly I hold this establishment in contempt. Mostly though I fear them, I fear that they will continue to make decisions that apparently are aimed at destroying the America I love and turning it into a third world pest-pot.
As a youngster my father was in the Military and my mom and the rest of the kids were lucky enough to be able to accompany him on some of his tours to foreign countries. What I saw and learned from living there has given me a love and an appreciation for America that many of our ‘elites’ obviously don’t have.
That is why I fear this establishment. They are trying to destroy what I love. In turn that makes me support the TEA-Party freshmen in their attempts to stop the destruction. It’s long past time to rein in an unchecked federal Government all three branches have increased their power to the point where they are the De-facto masters and the rest of us... Well they must think we are their servants, serfs and property. At least they treat us that way.
Paulsen was wrong. Raising the debt ceiling is also wrong. Just live with the consequences.
Nazi Pelosi - a voice worth ignoring.
Troubled Asset Relief Program. Stocks plunged 778 points.
Democrats are talking about another stimulus deal,yeah thats clear thinking.Dems are stuck on stupid socialism never pays off.
Need anything else be said as to why we don't trust the GOP-E?
Best to take our medicine now and start the real recovery than to kick the can down the road and make the final comeuppance even worse.
