Congressional Leaders Stunned by Warnings

Awesome..... everyone can get behind THAT idea!! LOL

"Many of us agree that you and I have no right to use coercion against people who don't owe us anything. The same prohibition applies to groups of people who constitute the government. The reason is simple: unjust acts do not become just when legalized. "

Stunned? That's laughable. These idiots have been running the country on paper and plastic for over 4 decades and they're stunned? I thought the Federal Reserve was the "lender of last resort". Why don't the government tell the banks to do what they do, just have the Fed send up a bunch of them little pieces of paper they call money and the problem is solved...oh wait, that's exactly what they're doing......jeeez we are so screwed, and the people in this country, the ones that are going to be crushed, are so absolutely ignorant sometimes I feel like RP when I try to tell them what's happening. All I can do is bite my lip and think of Dr. Pauls quote..."make fun buddy".

He'll keep them there till its a done deal. They aint feelin us yet. Contact Reid. No to any bail out attempt !!!!!!

He accepts a huge campaign contributions ($70k) as a Presidential candidate from a bank while he is on the Senate Banking and Finance committee.

He's been paid for. This bill of his was most likely written by banks for banks. I haven't read it, but have heard that it will change/limit the banks exposure to loss to a mere 10% loss. No wonder they aren't reaching out to people who are upside down on their mortgages and modifying the amounts.

I know someone who will be defaulting on his loan on purpose for $300,000 and have his fiance buy the same house across the street for $200,000 in her name, saving $100,000.

and WOW great read....(sadly)

Then bring forth the solution. How many times has this happened by the same players over and over. If you don't go along with it of course you are unpatriotic. It works, and I am sure this time will be no different. I wonder what Ron Paul is saying to this. Anyone?

The ONLY ,ONLY, ONLY way for a meltdown, is if it is planned &/or the POWERS are calling in their money, in order to impliment something else .....GOT any idea...
says

If we don't bail out these criminals, the whole system may collapse. Innocent Americans may loose their 401k, IRA's etc.

This may very well be all true. But...

If you own a business the Mafia is interested in and you refuse to pay up, your business may burn. Your knee caps may get shattered.

What Bernake and Paulson are doing is no different than Vinnie and Veto stopping by your restaurant and threatening to burn it down unless you give up some VIG.

The sooner we stand up the better.

that their cushy retirement incomes and perks might be jeopardized if they didn't bail out the bankers.

That would strike fear into any gov't worker..

this bailout/loan-whatever they are calling it at present is a WMD. i agree. let us round up the terrorists and send them to the same places the other terrorists are kept- you know, the ones that tried to whistleblow but were caught up in b.s. and forced to resign or simply had "accidents" i realize that the dollar will fall no matter what we do, so let us not give the crooks the last laugh.

~peace

Voter turnout is going to be unbelievable, many of these crooks are finished on Capital Hill.

then they have no business representing us. If they weren't smart enough to see what was happening years ago, why are we wasting our money paying them an annual salary? In addition to all the money in benefits they cost us, like pensions and health insurance etc.. If they aren't that smart, then how would they ever know what Bernanke, Paulson and others, who are looking out for their Wall Street cronies, are telling them is true or just overstating the alleged dire situation...in my opinion, they wouldn't.

I say give 99% of them "pink slips." Let them try and earn a living in the real world like the rest of us...no more free rides for them. I have no doubt that would be a real culture shock for them. And that goes for Obama and McCain as well. Dump them all. Except Ron Paul, of course...he's the only one who saw this coming.

One other thing, if a large portion of the people in this country are unable to afford health insurance why are we paying the insurance for our alleged representatives? I say alleged, because there's a big question as to whether or not they are representing "We the People."We need to start cutting costs, lets see what can be cut out of their benefits.,.health insurance and pensions would be a good start. Might start paying them by the hour...that would be a big savings right there, considering their very limited work week.

Maybe if we mailed all of them "pink slips" they might get the message. LOL

hahahahah pathetic.

so when citizens reach a point where they begin to romanticize the idea of relishing in their country's own ruin, are they by definition insane?

if so i think that there are a lot of us here in this community, myself included, that are insane. senators, on the other hand, have much much more to lose.

This outfit of goobers couldn't have been STUNNED unless they've been hiding in caves for the past 10 years. Gimmie a break.

Is it possibly that bad? YUP

But I still wouldn't trust Schumer and Dodd as far as I could throw them
at telling us the truth, even with this ordeal. It seems this is a lot of political
posturing and fear mongering in order to the get the deal through and the banksters saved. DEMOCRATS have so thankfully saved us all!

More bullshit, even though we have a SERIOUS crisis going on.

much to "stun" most of those clowns......Some "leaders" they turned out to be.

do you have a good one?

Why haven't these "Leaders" been listening to what Dr. Paul has been telling us for years?? Bunch of arrogant bastards! How are they going to face their constituents??
