"Where in the world is all this money coming from?!!"A printing press. That is a fact that should scare you out your socks. Do some research on The Wiemar Republic.

I’ve taught history, so I don’t have to do that research. This just makes me more determined to move to the Philippines...

If they sell U.S. treasury bonds to get cash for the handouts, who is buying the bonds and where was their money before?
Wouldn't they have to sell something else in order to buy the bonds?
And then wouldn't that decrease the demand (and thus the price) for what they sell?
So if they owned stocks ... uhhhmm, doesn't that mean the stock market can go no other way but down?

Yes, moths flew out...You lucky devil. Mine were too starved for flight.

Here's what it's beginning to look like...Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were running out of money to give Section 8 loans with...Bwawny Fwank blew the whistle (are you sure it was just a "whistle" he blew?) and called Daddy Warbucks (Paulson)to make a new "cash deposit" into these two wonderful agencies who are "helping the needy".
Meanwhile, ACORN's promised billions were detected and removed from the original handout, er bailout...and now they come to the trough to collect what they worked for during this fiasco, er, campaign.
Now all these new handouts, er, bailouts are for the other banks so they won't tattle on Fannie and Freddie.
Now, probably none of this is true, but it makes about as much sense as anything else...especially since they're still advertising for, and handing out Section 8's like rubbers at an aids convention.

"This just makes me more determined to move to the Philippines..." If you feel the need to go somewhere else Ireland makes more sense. Their economy is booming due to one of the lowest corporate tax rates. For myself I'm sticking here. I owe it to those who went before to try and restore The Republic even if I wind up tilting at windmills like Don Quixote.

Spending $50 billion to lower mortgage rates would yield about 500,000 more home sales, projects the National Association of Realtors.
The article is all over the place.
I don't get it. Why does anyone have to spend money to lower a mortgage rate ?
Why would it make a home more affordable under new (really old) credit guidelines ?

This is like a pyramid scheme: first ones in get all the cash, while the last ones in and the folks at the bottom (us) get scr*wed.

Good thing we exported all our heavy industry to China or we’d have no one to borrow from. [/sarc] One of the few people making sense is Peter Schiff. Its interesting when you seem him argue with the other financial “gurus”—you quickly realize the other guys are stodges (regardless of their credentials). Almost no one is telling the truth, everyone is scared witless. We are just digging ourselves a deeper hole with these mindless stimulus packages.
Sadly, I have come to the conclusion that 2/3 of the American people are absolute morons.

Steps to prepare.
If you don't have a tall fence around your property arrange
to put one in.
If you have a yard in the back, buy active seeds strains
of tomatoes,asparagus,carrots. Learn to farm them.
Store lots of vitamins.
One firearm per member of household.
If you have a pool convert to covered storage shed.
if you dont have a shed, buy several large plastic impermeable sheds from OSH, bury them to the top. Buy
astro turf and cover your new “garden” stuff the your sheds full of SPAM, Stuff it with supplies for first aid. Might
want to include a 200 gallon water tank, and Water Recycler.
Car?? not necessary, most people wont have a job anyway.
