    Guess what?

    John McSame lies again!

  • People like Ron Paul who speak the truth are ignored by the average American. Well, they will get what they deserve.

  • Dont buy bad assets to hopefully sell them later for profit, that doesnt even make any sense! Why take that chance and if it doesnt work then what are you going to say? "Oh well we tried" BullCrap! To gamble the 700 billion is insane when u can just use that money to help America as well as the American People! If the taxpayer has to be held liable then I think its fair to use the money for the greater good than those bogus pork spending projects that America hates so much! Come on use ur heads!

  • I dont know why this country is going so crazy? Has money and greed poisoned the mind of government so bad that when a crises comes they are all running around like a chicken without a head!? What a bunch of freaking morons! Hey congressional Morons here is some logic for your bill, Even out the debt score. Wipe the slate clean for everyone! You fucked us over and we fucked you over. We r even. Use the 700 billion to reinvest in America since now we are super screwed due to all the bad decisions
