  • hi anyone want to chat

    great vid tF

  • If you look at the facts, it isn't the mortgage companies fault they are going under, it is Congress's fault. In the 1970's, it suddenly became a right for everyone to own a house, and Congress made these companies loosen their restrictions on who could get a loan. So now we get to see how Congress comes out of this one clean.

  • Wow. You really hit the truth with that statement.

  • Couldn't agree more mate, I have NO IDEA why the American people haven't marched up, broke down that door and ARRESTED EVERY ONE of those treasonous little LIZARDS out of your society.

    Their plans are all falling apart, people are too smart to be led by fear now, it's why religion is failing, it is why government is failing, fear is no longer a useful tool. They will try something BIIIG now though.

  • What do you think, it doesn't matter anyway, we are all ruined this bailout will ruin EVERYTHING, not only will the CEO's PROFIT from this, but the WHOLE world will laugh at you.

    You know this 'fear mongering' it HAS to stop, people are not stupid anymore, the use words like families and security.

    You are FUCKED.

  • Freakin treasonist sellouts!!!!!!!!!!!!! Completely unconstitutional and therefore against the best interests of our citizens.DISGUSTING!

  • What really happens if we just let these companies fail.Don't just lie to us tell us the truth.

  • Cock sucking senators the whole lot of them. I hope they all take a dump of hot magma then drop dead. Rewarding the bankers who stole our homes, sent our jobs offshore, sucked out our retirements, and now ask us to pay for the mess. Fuck you all.

  • so why not have a bailout of working class in america; sustain wages and save homes for people. it makes absolutely no sense to reward the criminals who created the problem on wall street for the purpose of hoping that some benefits will trickle down. putting the money in the hands of the crooks is a poor way of helping the people and encourages the pig capitalist class.

  • empires grow, empires decline

    I feel a bit sorry for u average Americans :/
