Re: Understanding the Stimulus Bill
Both parties are at fault as this has been a long time coming. Playing the blame game does nothing but look at the past, when we should be concerned with what is happening now and what might happen in the near future. Is all of this spending going to really help, or are we just delaying the inevitable.

Re: Understanding the Stimulus Bill
Thanks for posting the above WileECyte by the time I got back to this thread you already posted !
Read all you can don't depend on the Media .......they are just feeding us All BS !
Barney Frank and Chris Dodd are the Most responsible out of all the people in Govt. Why you ask?? Because they are Head of the Banking Committee. Leahy wants to bring Cheney up on charges of War Crimes ?? They should charge ALL of the Congress for Dereliction of Duty. They ALL swore an oath to Protect and Defend the Constitution........the way I see it they are ALL derelict !! FIRE THE WHOLE LOT !!

Who does President Obama go to for advise on the housing issues? Franklin Raines? Who's Franklin Raines? He was with the Carter administration when the CRA was first enacted, and was Vice Chairman of Fannie Mae from 1991 - 1996. He took over as Director of OMB for Clinton and then ascended to CEO of Fannie Mae after Jim Johnson left.
Both Raines and Johnson resigned from Fannie Mae after the GAO found accounting regularities. They both received WAY more compensation than was on the books and both took large golden parachutes from Fannie Mae.
Change? The only thing that has changed is the face, but the names remain the same.

Moonshine? Nevah! I'm a beer man.
But seriously though, w4j is one of my favorite enemies in the forums. He and I have several unfinished arguments - abortion is the oldest one.
My biggest beef with w4j is that spinning dog avatar that he had. It was is if God put us on Earth to jack each other off. I can't go for that.
