A sleight of hand to distract you from the imminent gift of $700 billion to Wall St. from Washington.
No way, no how, no bailout.Some of these mortgages don't really have a house behind them. Say Alice, Bob & Charles lent $50 each to David so he could buy a house that cost $150. Everyone agreed that David would...more »

Bailout bill still bogus-- call Congress to fix it before we waste $700 billion based on lies & false promises
No way, no how, no bailout.I am still opposed to the current bill. I will list several reasons... first are the if-you-don't-get-this-provision-removed-and-still-vote-for-this-bill, I-won't-vote-for-you-again parts. 1) There is a terrible provision that requires, if in 5 years we have lost money...more »

The new bailout is still a bad deal-- no way, no how, no bailout.
No way, no how, no bailout.It's a joke. The CNN summary lists 4 major points. Three are total window dressing, and the 4th isn't much better. The original deal was 10x worse, but this is still a bad deal.1) The...more »

The bailout is the worst proposal by Bush since he disbanded the Iraqi army
Seriously. It's a disaster. His plan doesn't need to be restructured or expanded or shrunken or altered. It needs to be killed.If these guys need money, tell them to sell it to the highest bidder. For every dollar of junk...more »

Bush and Paulson are lying about the bailout plan
Read the whole article.Now to the substance. The Treasury has been using the formula that it will buy assets at "fair market prices". As we have noted, there is simply huge amounts of cash ready to bottom fish in housing-related...more »

No amount of lipstick can save this bailout pig
No way, no how, no bailout.I've seen so many proposals flying around by congressional dems and progressives to "improve" this bailout bill, but they all miss the point. They are all just putting lipstick on a pig. It's ridiculous. They...more »

If you oppose the bailout, call your congresspeople now!
No way, no how, no bailout.The time to act is short. The Wall St. insiders and lobbyists are working with Bushco to ram this $700 billion bail-out down our throat. The only way to stop is through a MASSIVE grass-roots...more »

Even if you support the bailout in principle, you must oppose it as proposed
Right now, the proposal gives the Treasury Secretary $700 billion to spend any way he sees fit. You can be damn sure every penny will be spent before January 20, 2009. Oversight? None. Checks & balances? None.Who's going to price...more »

Oh, for fucks sake. Open your eyes and learn how use your critical thinking skills. This is a bad bill, and even if something needs to be done, we don't need this bill to do it. Hopefully a better bill will rise from the ashes of the House, instead of the same old shit being resurrected and passed.
This bill is a giveaway, and despite protestations to the contrary, the taxpayer isn't assured of getting anything-- equity, financials tax to pay for it, or even a fair price-- in return.
So go ahead, capitulate and embrace the Bush bailout bill, and trust Henry Paulson to pretty much single-handedly spend $700 billion on trash. You people make me embarrassed to call myself a Democrat.

Dude, all you do is quote from articles and call people opposed to the bailout idiots.
Seriously dude, you need to move past the name calling and put forward some cogent arguments.

Ugh. The only way Palin walks away from the debate a winner is if questions like that are asked. Want to know why the Couric interview was so devastating? Because it wasn't an attack.
I'd rec down if I could.

It's still a bad idea, even with all these safeguards being proposed. Warren Buffett just invested $5 billion in Goldman Sachs... these companies aren't on the verge of a bust when that happens.
The credit markets are not seizing up, a small segment is seizing up-- the massive banks at the center of the problem don't trust each other. Whoop-de-do. The financial system will route around the damage.
And all this to reduce the likelihood of a recession? I'm sorry, but I'm not giving a $700 billion gift to Wall St. for THAT. I've said it before, I'll say it again.

There are a half-dozen or more ways to improve liquidity in the credit markets. Only one of them involves a massive taxpayer-only funded bailout of the richest Wall St. firms. Why is that the only one being considered?
I'm sorry, this bailout plan is a great scam on the American taxpayer. There are many options that need to be considered before we even contemplate putting one more cent of taxpayer funds on the line.
