Topic: Conservative Rhetoric! | |
---|---|
Good news, The House approved a housing rescue plan today by a vote of 266-154, with 39 Republicans! Now Master Bush the mighty and wise President promises a Veto. This bill would drop some peoples monthly mortgage payments from $2200 a month to $1200, and without doing the math (I have no idea) could possibly put more money back into the economy than all Bushes tax rebates, (which is just printed money) and put confidence into a shell shocked public! I keep hearing from the Republicans how it is the Democrats fault that the economy is failing. Well here it is the proof that Bush and the Republicans are tying their hands, making it impossible for them to do anything. My prediction- Bush will Veto, and then the House, with only a slim majority, will not be able to muster enough votes to override the Veto. Then later the Republicans will come out and say, The Democrats have a majority and still do nothing. Its their fault, why blame Bush and the Republicans!! What do you think? Please feel free to cuss me. I'll just laugh......... How are they gonna drop payments? You mean the government is gonna pick up the tab? |

A conservative stands by their principles that are tried and true. They know the things that will work because they pay attention to history and what has made this country great from the original forefathers ideals. Yeah, Thats what has happened over the last 8 years. The things that are tried and true. Sure am glad they worked otherwise the economy might be in shambles.... there is no recession..bush said so. |

Founded in 1854 by anti-slavery expansion activists and modernizers, they were far from the original forefathers ideals.
They were upstarts... |

Conservative rhetoric? the price tag on the bill above mentioned is $300 billion. Sure, the demos want to bail out the homeowners who bit off more than they could chew. Just a little thing to remember: With gov't money comes gov't strings, and more gov't control of our daily lives. Many liberals do not want the gov't involved in their bedrooms, or their bodies, ie, abortion, but they are perfectly happy to let the gov't get involved more deeply in their personal finances? Seems like a paradox to me

I am conservative not republican. Don't try to lump me into a group of lawyers who line their pockets. That means republican or democrat.

Of course, some people would say conservative and rhetoric are contradictions in terms!

I DONT EXPECT ANYONE TO BAIL ME OUT WHEN I MAKE A STUPID MISTAKE.... like overextending my finances.... Im with the pres on this one. Obviously, you assume that EVERYONE just happened to overextend their finances. You are therefore ignoring people who might have been injured and can no longer make what they had made before. People who've lost their jobs to over seas markets and no new jobs have come around to fill the void in those cities and town. People who have a spouse suddenly walk out and they are left to try to find ways to make ends meet, raising a family, with the second income gone. Don't paint everyone with the same brush. And since this credit crisis and mortgage crisis happened nation wide at the same time, it is a symptom of something bigger than some people overspending. Yea, aren't you supposed to have a nest egg of about 3-6 months wages saved up incase of an emergency? |

Seems like a paradox to me Negatory, you should read the story in full. It says, in the first paragraph, the one that you did bother to read before your republican feelings got hurt, It would let the Federal Housing Administration take on up to $300 billion in new mortgages so that financially strapped borrowers facing foreclosure could refinance. Read farther, comprehend all.... |

|
|
|
It also says that all will not qualify for the new mortgages. They must first prove they could pay and if they sale the government gets half of their proceeds if they profited from selling or refinancing again.
|

Its really important that you read the whole story, not just the first paragraph...
|

If it does pass, lets hope they just rebudget and not raise taxes.

Not a republican, fanta, a conservative democrat... ..the bottom line is it is election year, and the ppl in office will spend whatever amount of our money to get re-elected. In the normal functioning of the federal bureacracy, if the authorization is for $300 billion, you can bet your sweet butt that the total amount will be far more than that. As for the recession argument. A recession is defined in economics as three (3) consecutive quqarters of negative economic growth. Since the last two quarters of Clintons term, and the first two of Bushes, there has not been a single quarter of negative economic growth. Once again, it is election tiem, and the news media is tossing the "R" word around trying to convince ppl that there is a big economic crash happening. Just an election ply to try to get their annointed candidates elected, as usual.

Not to mention that this bill could single handedly save the economy!!
Well this and Bush (king of the neo-cons) leaving office...... |
