Barney- Foreign debt holders( US Debt) got your balls in a vise!!!
This is the moment Washington needs to fess up to the world that we are nothing more than a IOU goverment and a credit card economy. This isn't a house mortgage problem.
This is an oh shit the king has no clothes. I pray to God the foreign goverments stop loaning us money. This will be the only solution to a goverment spending out of control that refuses to quit drinking the Kool Aid.

The foreign governments HAVE stopped loaning us money...

Asia and Europe have said "hey wait a sec....you're broke?" we can't give you more cash. Sorry!

What do you think led to this? Asia is into us for 3 trillion dollars!
That's insanity. we're worried about 700 billion? Ha! That's pocket change.

This spending has to come to a halt or we are screwed.....actually we are screwed either way, but at least we don't have to march ourselves into a socialist suckhole of mediocrity.
Have a great day! :)

Warren Buffet is said to support the bailout, but only if the government
auctions off the debt. This means the shareholders and executives and
even the bondholders will lose money, but they are the ones that took
the risk, so they should shoulder the burden of the losses not the taxpayer.
Thus vote no for the bailout as is, only pass a bailout if the debt is auctioned off
and therefore fairly sold at market prices. This is the only fair solution
to the average American who has already seen his wealth greatly reduced
by coporate greed and Wall Street greed. Fact - in the last forty years
the swiss franc has quadrupled in value against the dollar.
In the great depression FDR made Joe Kennedy head of the SEC and he outlawed all
options on major stocks as excessive leverage and therefore excessive
risk was the cause of the depression. That is why laws forbiding leverage were
enacted. These laws were abolished in the 70's because of
corporate greed. Options and leverage via derivatives is the problem,
it was identified in the prior depression, so why were the laws preventing
derivatives abolished. Corporate Greed,- the average American is
innocent.

What an ass.

This man caused this problem.

I called his office and they hung up on me. Can you believe that?

Barney Frank needs to be taken out, tarred and feathered, and dropped into a river. I'm not kidding.

I am sick and tired of these Democrats who protected Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for years, and who wanted and pressured banks to loan (under threat of lawsuits) money to deadbeats--all in the name of promoting home ownership to losers.

This man needs to be arrested.

I am sick and tired of this.

Why is he not kicked out of Congress yet?

Where are the pitch forks?
