...is there anyone beyond reproach to monitor the bailout?


In President Bush's adress to the nation this evening, he implores Americans & law makers (Congress) to pass a $700 billion dollar finacial rescue plan, including close monitoring of such plan. If the plan is passed & is actually implemented...

are you not aware that in his short time in the senate he has collected enough money to put him in 2nd or 3rd as the largest receiver of funds from them? look it up....hell, obama has almost collected, in 2 to 3 years, what dodd has collected in several more years than that...

They didnt need all of them. Just some. A very roundabout way to blame the opposition, to say "you didnt stop us so it is all your fault"

i doubt it, as he wont even admit he played his own role in the failure of the companies...why didn't HE lead an effort to reform the companies like mccain did in 2006?

even though they were in control nothing could have gotten passed without the democrats help....do you need to re-learn how our government functions?

Yep, you're right, it was 2003 - WHEN THE REPUGS CONTROLLED BOTH HOUSES!!! It wasn't until the last election when the voters booted their asses out. And you want to put them back?

glad to see you stated government.....mainly the congress, democrat controlled congress...----it seems that president bush asked for action to reform freddie mac and fannie mae as far back as 2003.....it appears the democrats in congress didn't like that idea and no action was taken....and then bush tried again in 2005...and mccain in 2006......LINK

The Gov is responsible for letting this happen. A bailout is only going to result in giving the $$$ back to the bankers who created this mess. Who do you think they're going to filter the money to? Right, the same cronies who control the rates, the VERY wealthy and CEO's of big business. The little guy? Sorry Charlie, wait in line til we take our cut 1st, maybe catch us again when we ask for another $500 billion...

Completely agree. There needs to be complete transparency... How can this be done?

Me. I am honest enough to do this job. Since I exist, surely there must be more honest people. I don't think this is an impossible task.

The bail out is meant to stop their customers going bankrupt, not the investors or the executives. Good news: The executives' stock options are now worthless. Bad news: They paid themselves a LOT of cash too.

I don't think we should bail out anyone. Let the chips fall where they fall, The only thing a bail out will do is cost every American tax payer boo qou $$$ and it will only save the greedy thiefs that caused this mess in the first place. I say Fuck'em let them suffer with the rest of us.
