"Bob F" wrote in message Well, you need to tell those million people who are about to lose their houses about it. How is it President Bush's fault that those "million people" bought houses or took out loans that they could not afford? ============================== (frickin google posters!) The credit problem is not the cause of the coming recession, its a symptom. The cause is President Bush. He is spending however many trillion dollars you don't have to fight a war there was no need for while ignoring fundamental issues at home which were his job to deal with. You can't do that for 5 years and not expect some consequence. ============================== It's right there on the paper that the payment might (will) go up. I ALWAYS get 30 yr. fixed (if I don't pay cash) . For years these people have been making 1/2 the payment I have for the same amount of money and smirking at ME for being the putz and paying too much. Well, it's time to take their medicine. I should be allowed to buy their house in a fire sale now or get a refund on my payments. ============================== You still build houses for a living, don't you? How difficult would it be to calculate how many houses you would NOT have built in the last 5 years if everybody who bought a house was required to meet those conditions? Reasonable access to credit helps to drive the economy. You are absolutely correct, there are always risks involved, but if GWB had his priorities in order 5 years ago, the econmy would have been more than resilient enough to weather this storm. Instead, its crippled by his hand. I suspect that if the Bush justice dept had been watching over the actions of lenders a bit better, a lot of people wouldn't have been caught up in this, because they never would have gotten the loans. Lenders were pretty sloppy about who they gave loans to. Some neighbors of mine refused to follow through on their re-finance when they went to sign the final papers, after seeing the fabrications the lender make to their financial story to make the loan look acceptable. Thats true. And I wouldn't claim for a minute that its not A problem. But its not THE problem. If Bush hadn't wasted several (i'm still too lazy to look up the exact number.) trillion dollars and climbing, with no end in sight, the credit crunch would be a significantly smaller blip on the screen. |

wrote this crap: two enemies, Sadam Hussein/Iraq and Osama bin Laden/Al Qaeda that it fostered to power during the process/Cold War. Have you been drinking? This makes no sense. No, they don't make sense, but they are historical facts. "You are insane. get help." What historical facts? You make no sense. A good fighter does not fight in rage. Tell that to Mike Tyson. Actually, Mike Tyson may tell you that as well. My point. Thank you. What's your point? Mike Tyson fights in rage? He bit off an opponent's ear in a rage. Does Master Bush take care his people/country? Absolutely. Well, you need to tell those million people who are about to lose their houses about it. That's not his problem. When you buy a house, you should read what you are signing. It's always a hard life. But victory, honor, and glory goes to the winner. Guess it is a hard life for you. Let's see how I spent the weekend. Saturday morning, I went to the yacht club, and installed a wide-screen, flat panel, LCD, HD TV, on my yacht. Then I watched a hockey playoff game, from a skybox. This morning I went back to the yacht club, for the Mother's Day Brunch. Then I'm buying my mother a DVD player, for Mother's Day, so she can watch the movie, "Beowulf." Is that such a hard life? "The object of military action is the annihilation of the enemy's army, the destruction of his cities, and the wastage of his countryside." Sun Tzu -- The Art of War. I like that quote. For an unnecessary war, five years is too long. Really? What is unnecessary? And what is too long? Honor and Glory, and Treasure goes to the victorious. Sun Tzu's words are eternal. His name will live forever. You may chant that, but it won't make you a good warrior. I *AM* a good warrior. I have the medals and papers to prove it. My name is over a thousand years old, and my name will live forever. It's people like you who are helping our enemies. You are helping our troops to die. But you think that people like you who sent our troops over, which is the main cause to cause our troops to die, are not to blame? I trained our troops. I trained them well. They protect the ungrateful, like you. Be grateful that your church hasn't been visited by a suicide bomber. You should lift a flagon of mead to our brave soldiers, as they protect everyone in this wonderful country. Enjoy your shame. Shame is on you. Spit is on you. My T-shirt says, "This shirt is the ultimate power in the universe." |

It might have helped if he at least paid the bills, instead of doing his spending on credit. |

Oh, fer cryin out loud everybody. Lighten up! This was about TOMATOES!!!!!!! I've lived in Colorado AND Texas, and it's about TOMATOES!!!!!!! I've been out of the country for the last few days, so I've missed the news. Are you trying to tell me that Obama and Hillary are going to settle this with tomatoes? Slinging tomatoes would be more entertaining than the garbage politicians have been slinging at each other for years. And just as enlightening! |

I ALWAYS get 30 yr. fixed (if I don't pay cash) . Can you fix your interest rate for 30 years? I don't think we can do that here, there's usually a few years you can lock it in at, and then you're at the mercy of the market. That sub-prime thing has had some big knock-on effects here, too. -- ant Don't try to email me! I'm using the latest spammer/scammer's email addy. |
