Where in the world is all this money coming from?!!

Not to alarm you, but have you looked into your wallet recently?

"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.

Easy...we borrow money from China...we buy more paper...and print it!!!

Seriously. I wish somebody could explain this.
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?

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.

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 ?

[dalereed]

Stop the bail outs, all of them!!

Not one person or company deserves to be helped!

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.

The Housing market is trying to RECOVER from being over inflated and these idiots prevent it from doing so by keeping prices up.

This is all New Deal economics.

We are selling Treasury bonds to foreigners in exchange for their cash, which will one day have to be paid back with interest from the taxes to be collected on your future earnings.

Get to work. ;)
