The Wall Street fat cats swindled investors out of billions and walked away
free and clear. The minorities and financially irresponsible dim wits who
bought houses they couldn't afford with mortgages they were too stupid to
read are getting the Obama bail and being rewarded for their bad decisions.
The working, tax paying middle class - who rented and saved until they could
buy a house they could afford - who shopped for the best fixed rate mortgage
they could find - who pay their bills on time and live within their mean -
well big fucking surprise, they're taking it in the ass again. They will

Just wait, universal health care and some other gems haven't even
got into the batter's box yet. I was listening to all the campaign
gaga, shaking my head and asking "Who the f*ck do these idiots think
is going to pay for all this sh*t?"
Yes, maybe evil big business and "rich" people will pay more but
who is really going to *pay*? The middle class, the average working
Joe, so many of which were convinced they were the ones whose lives
were going to be made better/easier. PT Barnum was right.
I guess it's easy to idealistic when you think someone else is
going to be footing the bill?

Yeah, I thought he was pretty high up at a Fortune 500 company, or so he
said repeatedly. But he probably can't figure out why the same companies
that beat the deregulation drum are now lining up with their hands out.

What does being "pretty high up at a Fortune 500 company" have to do with
any thing. It's a question of who will ultimately get assistance and who
will ultimately pay for the biggest stimulus-spending bill in American
history. I am one of the millions of middle class Americans who worked,
saved money, bought a house I could afford with the best fixed rate mortgage
I could find, lived within my means and pay my bills on time. Most middle
class Americans, me included, don't mind lending a helping hand when some
needs it and we know any one can fall on hard times. However, there's a big
difference between that and bailing out stupid, greedy Wall Streeters, big
labor unions and a bunch of people who used entitlement loans to over spend
and buy things they knew they couldn't afford. And ultimately it will be
the working, middle class American tax payers who will get stuck paying for
this gigantic liberal spending bill.

It has to do with being part of the problem. When times are good, large
corporations always want the government to stay out of their business, and
chant the mantra "the market will take care of itself". However, when
things go bad, those same corporations come running to Washington for a
handout. The Wall Street fat cats you denounce are in bed with the same
people running the Fortune 500 companies, which you as a self-professed
"former VP at a Fortune 500 company" should realize.

I'm sure there's a lot of items in the package that are wasteful spending,
and it may not produce the desired results. Like you, I resent my tax
dollars going to people and especially organizations that pursued risky
paths and now expect Washington to clean up their mess. However, you need
to understand that the government isn't willing to just let several banks
collapse without at least trying to do something to get the economy moving
again.
Also, calling it a "liberal spending bill" is pretty disingenuous. What
did you call the TARP bill, or the rebate checks that were mailed out last
year called for by Bush?

Excluding banks, financial companies and the big union auto companies,
American businesses, large and small, just want a chance to compete on a
level playing field. They'd take a reduction in the American business tax
rate, which is one of the highest in the world, over some phoney
stimulus-spending bill. The fact that you lump all Fortune 500 companies in
to one category illustrates how little you know about business in general
and corporations in particular.

The Bush rebate checks didn't stimulate the economy and neither will the
Obama rebate checks.
The key to economic recovery is private sector jobs, not welfare and
entitlement handouts.

It looks that way to me as well. I thought you were above middle class
though? I am definitely middle class, but I figured you to be upper class.

Actually, anyone holding a dollar is a taxpayer. For the minute, hour, day,
week, month or year that they have a dollar in their hand, in their pocket,
wallet, checking, or savings account that dollar is taxed. That tax is
inflation and it is at work all the time. When you give a dollar to a
homeless person, it is being taxed until he spends it on food, drink, drugs
or whatever.
So the next time you give one of those offramp beggars a buck or two, be
sure to offer him a lift to the nearest 7-11, quickmart, or liquor store so
he can spend it quicker and lessen the inflation impact.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_middle_class
===============
"The "professional class", also called the "upper middle class", consists
mostly of white collar professionals, most of whom are highly educated,
salaried professionals whose work is largely self-directed. Many have
graduate degrees, with educational attainment serving as the main
distinguishing feature of this class. Typical occupations of the
Professional Class would include University Professor, Physician, Lawyer,
Journalist, Architect, Physicist, Chemist, Engineer, Pharmacist and
Airline Pilot. Household incomes commonly exceed $100,000."
===============
I am considered 'upper middle class'?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_middle_class
===============
"Sociologists such as Dennis Gilbert, William Thompson, and Joseph Hickey
estimate the upper middle class to constitute roughly 15% of the
population. Using this figure, one may conclude that the American upper
middle class consist of professionals making more than $62,500 who
commonly reside in households with six figure incomes.[2][14][19][20] Both
of these figures are considerably above the national median of $32,000
regarding individual income and $46,000 for households. Many upper middle
class professions feature salaries above $67,348, which was the median
household income for a household with two income earners in 2003.[21][22]
For example, the median salary for economists was $72,780, meaning that
the majority of economists out earn the majority of two-income households
with their single salaries alone.[23] Overall, the median household income
of a household whose householder had a bachelor's degree or higher was
$77,179. The median household income for those with master's degree was
$81,023, while those with a doctorate or professional degree had a median
income above $100,000 annually.[2][14][24]"
===============
I am stunned to learn i am considered 'upper middle class'. Maybe this is
an all growsd up moment:

Surprising that you would think this way Mike. I thought you would be
concerned about the 3-4 million American homeowners on the brink of
foreclosure who are now struggling to make their monthly payments because
of the deep recession; or the 4-5 million American homeowners who have
been unable to refinance their mortgages because (due to no fault of their
own) their home values dropped, erasing much or all of their home equity.
It's totally surprising that you seem unconcerned about the fate of these
9 million Americans, and instead are focused on whether this plan to ease
the housing crisis helps you.

Well bucko, you've got Obama and the whole Democrat party focused on those
voters they can buy with their welfare and entitlement programs. Not to
mention the liberal mainstream press. I've yet to see any one who is truly
concerned about the working middle class tax payer who will ultimately end
up paying for this gigantic spending bill.

If I lost my job right now. If my woman lost her job right now. We could
afford our mortgage payment by getting jobs just about anywhere. You know
why? Because I didn't max out what the 'expert lenders' said I could
afford. I would have to give up the 2 cars and work out repayment on our
student loans (the other 2 biggest expenses for us right now), but I could
do it.

Why would these people 'need' to refinance because their equity dipped?
Stay in the house and wait til the equity jumps again. This example makes
no sense. If the only reason you 'want' to refinance is because your
equity dropped then too fucking bad.

Good for you. That doesn't change the fact that there are 3-4 million
American homeowners who can't do it. I'm not saying that these people
acted the same way you or I would act. But these are the number of people
in America who face imminent foreclosure if nothing is done.
This isn't about assessing blame; this is about preventing massive
foreclosures that will be catastrophic for the housing sector and thereby
substantially deepen the current economic crisis.

You're misreading what I wrote, or I miswrote what I meant to write.
These people don't need to refinance because their equity dropped. They
need to refinance because that is the only way to get a more affordable
monthly mortgage payment that will allow them to stay in their homes. They
are unable to refinance because their home equity dropped.

The key to economic recovery is job creation. If a person knows they have a
job and that they have a reasonable expectation that it is a permanent job,
they can pay their bills and will begin to spend money. That is why we
financial conservatives were so upset that Obama chose to create this
gigantic liberal Demcocrat spending spending bill instead of focusing on
things that would have an immediate impact on creating jobs in the private
sector. Only about 20% of Obama's money will even be spent in the next 18
months. The American economy will recover over time but it will have little
to do with this massive pork-filled, special interest spending bill.

Geez Mike, you sound like the head of the Teacher's Union talking about
the benefits of tenure!
Do you have any specific proposals on how the Government can provide
people with a "reasonable expectation that their jobs are permanent?"
Sounds more like Marxism than Conservatism.

Yeah ButBushRudy, I do, but you won't like the answer. You create more
private sector jobs in an environment that encourages business investment
and growth. How do you do that? You cut pay roll taxes, corporate and
business taxes and you suspend captial gains and dividend taxes for "X"
period of time. Then you announced that there will be no tax increases of
any kind for at least "X" period of time. Then you put together a list of
things to help businesses start, grow and expand. For example, you cut
through government red tape, review some of the more insane and restrictive
government regulations, offer incentives to new start up businesses and
existing businesses that expand and that hire new employees, etc. Then you
look at every line of the goverment spending budget, just as Obama said he
would do. You eliminate every wasteful, bullshit boondoggle spending
project and re-direct that money in to government spending on infrastructure
and other projects that will have immediate (within the next twelve to
eighteen months) impact on the job market and the economy. You announce a
project to make better and more efficient use of existing entitlement,
welfare and give away programs. You announce that you are not cutting any
existing programs but you are not starting any new ones and you are going to
make better use of the money that is already being spent and this include
identifying the cheats and scammers. You create a program that rewards work
and encourages current welfare recipients to get off welfare and go get a
job. Similiarly, you offer an incentive to businesses that hire current
welfare recipients and get them off welfare. You set up a special team of
DAs and Prosecutors to identify, charge and try Wall Street con men and
swindlers and when convicted, they go to real prisons and do real prison
time. You do a clean sweep of the congressional banking and finance
committees as well as the Ways and Means committee. Not to point fingers,
but to restore public confidence you move Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and
Charlie Rangle out of those positions and replace them with financial
conservatives. You start a joint effort with banks to make more loans to
*qualified borrowers* and you relieve them of all pressure to make high risk
subprime loans to *unqualified borrowers*. Then you work with the banks to
identify those current home owners who were formerly paying their mortgages
but have now fallen on temporary hard times and you work to help keep them
in their homes. This does not mean the person who bought a no money down
house they could never have afforded in the first place.
Now these are some of the things Obama could and should have done
ButBushRudy, but the problem is that it doesn't advance the liberal
socialist Democrat agenda. It doesn't reward bad decisions and it doesn't
buy entitlement votes. But the sad fact is, Obama did not choose to do
that. He chose to follow the "liberal vision" and spend a $ trillion+ on a
massive boondoggle that grows the federal government and includes every
thing from frisbee parks to welfare hand outs to people who currently pay
zero income tax. In addition, only about 20% of the money will even hit the
economy in the next 18 months. That's one of the key reasons the stock
market has been in free fall ever since Obama announced his spending plan.
Businesses know it's not going to do jack shit to really help them, or this
economy.

Let me ask you this: If you are one of these people who now can not
afford your mortgage and you are 'bailed out' in some way how do you feel
about it? Are you going to expect the government to come in and help you
out everytime something happens in your life? Even if it is a nation wide
problem with a minority of population having your same issue? We are in
an economic downturn right now, but giving handouts to people who are not
responsible only perpetuates the problem, it does nothing to fix the
problem. You want to fix the problem? Fix the importing/exporting
agreements.

You miswrote what you meant. Let them refinance at the going rate as it
relates to their personal credit, but let me ask you another question.
Out of these '4-5 million people' how many own just one home? How many
make enough money that even if they refinance they will be able to afford
their mortgage at the lower rate? And finally the most important
question: How many out of these '4-5 million' are hard working Americans
who just happened to lose a job because the economy sucks? I would
venture a guess, not many.

Did you see how I worked Jersey Rudy yesterday in the Sarah Palin tax
cheat thread? I worked him good. Real good. And you know how unintelligent
I am. Imagine how dumb he must be. So tone down your posts so he can
understand you. Thanks.
