WELL THE DEMOCRAT CONGRESS OF 06...or is that just an 'accident'
Frank and Dodd proped up Fannie and Freddie, prevented any investigation of their accounting practices. Major dem policy makers are involved are the news is buried by the mainstream media.

The dems passed the 'mark to market' legislation which accelated and propagated the financial death spiral we are currently experiencing. Alan Greenspan supported and pushed the leveraging of the investment banks using derivatives based on the risky mortages.

good idea from uncle ted. Lets get a law passed that takes 90% of his family's personal wealth and use it to pay for the plan. While we are at it lets go get Soros, Buffet, Pickens and Gates to kick in another 100 billion each.

I'm with you on Paulson; he's the frontman for Bush's last (we can only hope!) pillaging.
Phoenix and Nutcase your uninformed, ignorant dumbass mentality is the reason people like me have to financially support people like you.

Bush's plan? Looks like Obmama just made it his.

Pay back to the feminazi's

But it seems as if our friends would rather expend their energy crying about nothing changing than commenting on a very well qualified new face coming into the mix.
Can you list Hillary's qualifications for Sec of State. Her only leadership role as health care was a disaster.

This appointment is nothing but the same ol' politics with the same ol' politicians. Like Obama said "Why expect anything to be different?'.

I don't understand why people can't see Hillary Clinton's beauty. She has nice curves and great legs

Ha Ha

And no ankles.

Barack Obama, December 27, 2007: "The real gamble in this election is playing the same Washington game with the same Washington players and expecting a different result."

Her last leadership role was health care reform...

Yet you can get a years in jail in some states for 1 joint
Really, where?

keep your powder dry.

BTW I think CEOs of some of the largest corporations on Earth need private jets to carry with them their staffs and operate their companies from romote locations.
ROTFLMAO.

Danni, you really are stupid.

I was very impressed with how much progress they have made.
And you believed every word they said. Just like you beleived this statement.

Barack Obama, December 27, 2007: "The real gamble in this election is playing the same Washington game with the same Washington players and expecting a different result."

Head of Honda in America says....WORLDWIDE CREDIT CRISIS is hurting all auto makers not just American auto makers.

Gosh, I scare myself.

sure it hurts them. They can't sell as many cars. Only people with good credit history can get loans.

And stop looking in the mirror if you're scared.

Overpopulation is a bad thing but homosexuality aint. In fact, by Spud's lights, one is a problem and the other a solution.

Since pickle in 'exit only' doesn't produce offspring, evolution will eventually eliminate the freaks. In the meantime, enjoy the crusty hole.

what's troubling for US citizens in the California case is the idea that an equality guarantee could not be effectively enforced against the will of a majority
What "right" are they being denied. They are free to live however they want. Free to place the pickle in the exit only hole all day long.

Danni the dummy blames this on Reagan.

ROTFLLMAO.

is inability of even folks with decent credit to get loans and even profitable companies from getting loans.
more of the lies and ignorant rants from Danni.

The only issue was 'how can I get some of their money?'

Danforth,

If I hadn't lost so much money I would laugh at you.

"These two entities Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not facing any kind of financial crisis," said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. "The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing."

Representative Melvin L. Watt, Democrat of North Carolina, agreed.

"I don't see much other than a shell game going on here, moving something from one agency to another and in the process weakening the bargaining power of poorer families and their ability to get affordable housing," Mr. Watt said.

And when did Republicans, in control for almost all of 1994-2006 when the vast majority of the problem was building, propose changing this?

The part where the workers did what they were assigned, or the part where management paid what they promised?
The part where management, long since retired after selling their company stock, made wage/benefit/work rule agreements that gave them short term stability and long term demise.

Another ass wiped ignorant post, will it ever end.
Moneywar, why don't you explain why some US factories produce cars that are profitable and the big 3 factories can't do it.

But it's all the fault of the guys who lived up to what they signed...I get it.
I never said it was the fault of the worker. It was the fault of the agreement. The agreement is broken and has to be fixed. Until it is fixed, don't ask for more money.

Its the fault of the Bill Gates, Buffets, Bushs, Clintons who continue to argume for the globalization of US jobs and push for more HB1 visas, which lowers the wages for all US workers.

Remember, keep your powder dry. You might need it.

Just look at trade and the auto industry and you would be shocked, then learn alittle about manufacturing and production and you will see the real problem is our congress and president accepting the idiocy of trade policies.
I understand this. I understand the broken business model used by the big 3. I understand washington is the problem. I understand Obama said he didn't want to use the same wash insiders to implement change.

What I don't understand is why anyone believed him.

The industry has already cut almost 50% of the jobs, increased productivity, designed new revolutionary models, etc. YOu are a simpleton repeating right wing talking points. It's hard to have a discussion with someone incapable of serious thought.
I appreciate your concern over how difficult it is to have a discussion with you, since you are such a simpleton.

Given the average labor/benefit cost for the Big 3 are more than $2000 than the 'non big 3' vehicles produced in the US. Why would a CEO of a company not fix this issue by cutting the pay of the workers and the outlandish benefits paid to those who for years produced crappy cars.

There is no other industry, other than government where workers pay/benefits are not eventually related to the profit/loss of their company.

Some guy who ran a pneumatic wrench for 25 years retires on 70k a year with full benefits. The gravy train has reached the end of the tracks.
