Wonderful. Bernanke, Pelosi, and now Barney Fife want

another stimulus package.  "Stimulus should exceed 1% of the GDP."

He also says banks should be encouraged to write down mortgages. As for the $700B package, they got a terrible job loss number the same day and that it should soon start working. This fund would start buying into the banks soon. He was very upset that the first $250B was given away and $125B went into buying large banks and $125B went into buying into small banks.

Keynesianism??? What's that? Sounds like a new language to me. It's one of the words he uses.

I certainly don't think there should be another stimulus package. The first one didn't work. How can the second one be any better?

• Wonderful. Bernanke, Pelosi, and now Barney Fife want - Backwards typist
  • Republicans Bush, Paulson, Bernanke, Boehner all - promoting this latest stunt economy fix. sm

however, it is the HOMEOWNERS responsibility to READ YOUR CONTRACT. Geesh people, the lenders did loan to those they knew couldn't pay, but the people who bought a $300,000 home making $50,000 cannot be excused, they too bear responsibility. Anyone facing foreclosure now who gets bailed out should never be allowed to own another home without 20% or more CASH downpayment. We make our mortgage payment on time every month, add extra to the principal, have never been late, have never taken out a HELOC or a second mortgage and yet we are expected to help those out who probably shouldn't have bought a home in the first place.

Barney Frank (D) is the one who several years ago pushed the mortgage lenders to lend to EVERYONE so all could have homes. Read the Boston Globe Op-Ed piece by Jeff Jacoby for a good explanation.

Barney Frank wants less govt and state rights when it comes to drugs.... but he wants "regulation" and "more enforcement" when it comes to everything else that takes away MY rights...... what a joke!

contribution to this board.

Have a pleasant day.

Slick and glib speaker. Yes.

Too good to be true? Yes.

Loving father and husband? Yes.

Cool as a cucumber? Yes.

Good for our country? NO. Unless you want to live like the Cuban and Russian people.

Hillary is wonderful so is every other democrat running..ANYONE is better than the tired old men running as republicans.  I would vote for my dog before I would vote for a republican.  We need four years of peace and prosperity and building our reputation in the world and healing this country and fixing all the destructive things this administration has done here and abroad.  Hillary, when she worked as a lawyer, was one of the top five lawyers in America.  Her IQ is higher than Bill and that has to be quite high as Bill is quite an intelligent man.  Contrast that to the person in the WH now.  I think his IQ must be around 75 to 90.

I am truly impressed by all of the posters who responded to this question in such a compassionate and intelligent way.  You have renewed my faith in the people who post on this board, and for that I thank you!

Personally, I think that any medicine that can help relieve human suffering should, without a doubt, be legal and made available to those in need.  The voters of California or any other state that wish to have marijuana legalized should have that right without interference from the federal governent.

Again, thank you!

side at Christmas time.

This woman's soldier son was killed in Iraq right before the holidays, leaving behind a wife and child, but you glibly act like it's no big deal.

Of course, to those of your ilk, the only good soldier is a DEAD one, so it's perfectly understandable.

Crawl back under your rock.  You're nothing but an ugly, hateful snake.

Carla...  (((hugs)))... please ignore this ignorant, hateful subhumanoid creature.  Don't read any more of its posts.  It is clearly an evil force that only truly belongs on the CON board.

I think we should all ignore this poster and not feed its hatred.  Just like Bush, It clearly has no compassion for those it sends to fight a war based on lies and deceit.

I especially liked Fear - Future Events Appearing Real.  Describes our so-called war on terror to a T.  We're warned repeatedly of the danger we encounter, yet nothing has been done to secure our borders, ports, or rail systems, and we've totally ignored the possibility of liquid bombs in our airports, even though their existence has been known for a very long time.  Why hasn't Bush implemented policies that truly would make us safer?

And I couldn't agree more about WE taking back the government.  I've often thought that those at the highest levels of government forgot just who their employers are.

Thank you very much for providing a firsthand view of how malevolent our government can be when faced with the threat of exposure of the truth.  I hope you filed a civil suit against them.  If not, you might want to consider hiring Cheney's new lawyer in the Plame case (Clinton's lawyer).  I wonder why he didn't hire Ted Olson again.  Either way, I wouldn't mind my tax dollars being used to prosecute a case aimed at exposing the truth.

Obviously, no human being on earth can say with any degree of credibility that agnostics call out to Jesus when the time is near.  Nobody can possibly know what every other person on earth calls out, if anything. 

For some, peace comes from religion.  Others are able to find peace within themselves.  Some never find it.  Each person must follow their heart and brain and find the niche that works best for them. 

I guess Islamic fascists aren't the only ones who try to force their religion on everyone else.  The difference is that the United States isn't supposed to favor one religion over another.  We're supposed to be a nation that has religious freedom. 

This is especially dangerous during a time when war with religious fanatics is involved.  To pledge undying, unquestioning loyalty and support of Israel in political matters (even if some feel they have acted badly) soley for personal religious reasons (to insure one's place in heaven) is very dangerous to the United States and the rest of the world.  This is why politics and religion don't mix, and this is why the United States is becoming such a scary place.   :-(

I read most of the posts but rarely post. When I do, it's because I think it's worth it (to post).

I feel the same way you, sam, sbMT and others feel about watching and keeping up on O's plans, who he's putting in power, etc. GP shocked me with her latest post. She was always level-headed and calming.

I am a registered 'pub but only once in my life voted a straight ticket. This election was no different. I voted for McC and Palin, but for senate and congress crossed party lines.

My husband doesn't believe there should be a 2-party system as this is what causes such hard feelings. There should not be a "R" or "D" listed behind the names of people running for office and should elect on their merits. That certainly would clean out some of the bullsh-----, lazy political figures who only care to fill their own pockets, and those who only try to bring the government to its knees. If this were to happen, we would have a better government

.....but then again, there will always be bashers who are (to me) the most unhappy people in the world and would never be satisfied with anything, who think their choices are THE WAY or NO WAY and you can't say anything against them because they are so rightous.

That's my 2 cents. Bash all you want but I won't answer the bashers because it's not worth the aggravation..
