  • 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 ...

  • Re: Mitt reminds Republicans what is most important: Fear.

    I don't trust the GOP on any issue, They thought lack of oversight was good, let GWB & Cheney run the show. As back benchers the GOP may have a place,( they will squeal, throw stones, and build glass houses) The national debt is due mostly to ''CONSERVATIVE'' fiscal policies.

  • Re: Head for Japan

  • re: Canary Wharf / Barney's

    ''For truly good business ideas—even ones that are a decade ahead of their time—bankruptcy can be an operating room, not a mortuary'' Sure... if you kill the patient, you can't make any more money from them. If you attach parasites to the body, which suck it dry, and then give them a transfusion... you can attach parasites again and again. ...

    This article struck me as odd. ''I,'' Joe Schmoe investor, don't need bailing out because I don't lever my investments NINE times, as Bear Stearns' funds did.
