Have you trusted Barack Obama as your personal saviour? Say this prayer with me:.

Oh heavenly Barack. I confess my sins. Please save me. In the name of Barack Obama, Amen. If you just prayed to receive Barack Obama as your personal savior, please tell a friend.

This video does not address the core problem. That is a debt based economy.

PORK really is "blackmail for supporting the bills" issue, most of the time!~ And with over 400 reps, that adds up to a lot of pages, and a lot of pork. NOT To mention 100 Senators! For instance: Obama in 1 year = $1 BILLION. Multiply that X 532 and you have 532 BILLION IN Pork and a couple thousand megabytes of paper and confusion! EVERY YEAR!

[chapmando2007]

Congress did not care about the secretary having all those powers. They just wanted to make sure they got their cut(pork) also. No one on the democrat's or repulicans seem to care much about the people.

[play2k2000]

Remember too. The BIG Problem with pork is that it tends to sneak into bills that have nothing to do with what the pork is going to. Hidden within the legal speak, Pork turns bills into 4,000 page monsters. One example would be the 3 page bailout guidelines morhing into a 432 page monster, 428 having nothing to do wit getting our money back. But, somehow manages to get a few $Million for Acorn and some "give me your votes" projects for Joe Biden's Delaware!

Aw the legacy of the bush administration...what would have been worse, the failure of Iraq or this?

[tsenzei]

Fortunately we don't have to choose?

[musicyayamusic]

just let it crash. were all screwed now and are going to get stiffed with a serious bill. if these assets had any hope than the private sector would have gobbled a good amount of them up.

i was willing to weather the storm anyway and now we all are going to have to with a huge tax burden on our backs

[joneselius]

Not a tax burden, what are you going to pay the taxes with?

Dollars? They won't be worth 1 cent.

We are all in BIG trouble, especially in the UK !!! We have no natural resource!

Oh, I get it! Clinton wanted more votes from poorer folks? So he deregulated the banks knowing those GREEDY BANKS WILL GIVE HOME LOANS TO ANYONE (even to poor folks they knew couldnt pay back)!

It worked for a while, poor folks were happy they now had a piece of the American Dream; to be a home owner.

Greedy banks didn't have government watching them anymore!

BUT why did Bush continue what Clinton started, when the experts told him that this deregulation would end in tears?

[h2orobot]

did you ever heard something from the economist Silvio Gesell? he found a solution.

[danoking69]

TRUTH!! SHARE!! NOW~!!!!

[djurek]

Yeah!! I agree... I want my Maserati back!

[pig5689]

Give these wealthy, greedy, demon-lust devils nothing. GIVE THEM NOTHING! Every executive & middle manager of every bank, brokerage firm & investment & insurance company must immediately have all their assets seized and liquidated. Then give the money back to the taxpayers. Let these greedy whores wallow and suffer in their shame and humility. Your party is over, you shameful, lying cowards. Oh yeah, thanks again to Bush, Cheney (a drunkard), John McStain and the GOP for this destruction.

[sugarpuddin88]

Here is what happens now:

Those firms will have to file for bankruptcy, and those executives will have to return their Christmas bonuses and Maserati's

Other banks will learn they will not be bailed out and act proper

Last years Christmas bonuses to the top 5 Wall Street banks was greater than the GDP of Vietnam!

Not bailing them out is the best thing for America!

[bigdog49094]

Absolutely and anyone wanting taxpayer money in to bailout the rich needs to take what ever personal money they have band together and run to a failing bank and buy some bad mortgage paper to help out America and help out their rich neighbor bankers and bail them out with personal money and if they make money by doing this good for them.
