  • Makes Me Laugh -- Elites With Furrowed Brows AT LAST - -

    So, the FDIC Chairman is a female children's book author from Massachusetts, who started her new job running security for our Nation's bank deposits since 2006? How fortunate for her. I am a Massachusetts/New Hampshire working guy going back to 1990, originally from the Midwest, with some college but no degree, and I have been ''getting ...

  • Just privatize them, or let them fail

    I don't get it. Freddie and Fannie have made billions. Why do they need the crutch of Federal support. Just privatize them. And let them fail if they continue to be incompetent. Fannie had Frank Raines, a well connected guy who was driven out because he ignored Federal regulation and cooked the books. Yet the company has had little to pay for the ...

  • what mommies do

    Lots of moms who have decided to stay home because they just can't leave their babies in daycare, either because they find the separation too hard or because after having to pay childcare fees and gas they don't really bring much money home, they are doing GPT sites from home. I am one of them. No, I didn't believe in those sites at first. My ...

  • spinning through the credit apocalypse

    Meh. These guys don't buy their own groceries or gas $3.00 at a time for their vehicles like several working people do daily. If there were true economic justice due to adjusting market forces, they would die like flies, bleeding red ink all the while. NO BAILOUTS!! Let them stick to REAL accounting methods or else get REAL jobs!

  • Re: Bankruptcy?

    People that have just declared bankruptcy get a huge amount of credit card offers, for two reasons: 1) People who mismanage their money are credit card companies' bread and butter. Very financially responsible people - those who pay their credit card balance in full every month - are actually labled ''deadbeats'' by the credit card industry ...

  • Fix The Housing Crisis

    Somehow, Congress keeps focusing on bailing out the lenders, the home builders, giving them breaks against the losses they incurred by making bad loans. Yet even with a bailout, they will still try to recover those losses from their customers by foreclosure and through draconian collection practices. If a company gets a bailout benefit it must ...

    Yes, please take your lot shamelessly and wait to gather in your beggars cloths outside my gated mansion protected by my private army as we slide to third world status.

  • Restructured? How?

    ''Will $400bn worth of homes go into foreclosure? Of course not. Defaults are good for nobody. Things will and are getting restructured.'' I understand he's not talking about the consumer end of the equation, but as a consumer, I don't understand how he thinks this will happen. This is curious in light of other articles in the press. ...

  • Chump_Mentality

    The argument that anyone should single out Jobs and Apple as exclusively responsible for the terms and cost of iPhone early adoption is a red herring favoring AT&T. And any of the early adopters I know were far more irritated by dog-slow data network and its performance characteristics (like the fact that you can't even get notification of a ...
