    GM is on the verge of collapse?

    GM is doing fine oversea. This is just a ploy to offload union and pension obligation. Since all the financial's hands are in the cookie jar, why not us too? I am sure other industries are jealous of the special treatment that financial and auto industries are getting. So, someone else...

    Map of American Racism

    Well, I will speak for Colorado. There is a substantial increase in latino population at the south part of the state. Also, I suspect front range oil drilling also turn off a lot of rural voters. Republicans are all for drilling until rigs are actually on your backyard...:)

    An interesting article in the WSJ by a former Kerry staffer

    Bush's problem is not where he stands on issues. It is the execution. 1) Katrina - no explanation needed here. Bush did show improvement this year. 2) Iraq - greet as liberators? WMD? Rumsfield's army lite strategy? 3) Afgan - yea, what happen to the other war. 4) Financial...

    In my state, the men are 50-50 with Obama and McCain, but it is 54-46 with women. So, go figure.

    Message to all the McCain/Palin/Republican supporters

    OP please grow up. I also vote for Obama and your message is not helping. Keep in mind that there are +45% people who didn't vote for Obama. Bush totally forgot about this point.

    What's the crisis Powell was talking about?

    Russia or China might try something, but if Obama's popularity is high outside US. they might want to avoid the headwind. With the name of Barrack Hussein Obama as the US president, I got a feeling that Iran and those extremists will need new slogans. Ultimately, when the novelty goes...

    Pandamonium outside my window

    That's exactly what I thought. When a son of a mixed race immigrant with a middle name of Hussain becomes President of the United State. It is hard to point any finger at US because you might want that opportunity one day. Also, this remind me of China keep using unequal treatment of...

    First, here is the bloomberg version. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aVann0.cv9Tw Second, how do you know GS never asked for a bailout? GS has a direct line to Paulson - the ex-CEO of GS. What makes you think GS need to inform you and me when they ask for anything...

    You Better Protect Your Ass

    No one seems to realized that if your finance is wrecked, whatever national security you have right now is temporary. I can do what Bush have done. Spend 2T on military. 2T on tax cut. Increase national deficit by 4T. There, you have your lower tax and national security.

    We absolutely have been fooled, threathen or setup for this. Look at the 700B wooden arrow bailout bill. Yea, give me 1 billion so that I can lend out 10 cents that the economy so needed to survive. At the end, the FED STILL need to setup a facility to lend to the commercial paper market...

    At last a plan that gets at the root cause of the crisis...

    There is only one lesson to be learned here. Before : Used to be if you lend someone money, you are on the hook if that person defaults. Now : If the taxpayer is on the hook when someone default, that means free market fail and regulation is needed. Aka, everyone is going to have a HARD...

    At last a plan that gets at the root cause of the crisis...

    Mvic : it is not mortgage anymore. Do you think 50B will entice foreigner to buy billions of CDO again? That market is done for. There is a supply of money going to mortgage market that will be gone forever. Hence home price will need to be adjusted downward to match that. As for...

    At last a plan that gets at the root cause of the crisis...

    Here is the deal. Whatever help those deadbeat homeowners getting, it is only fair the honest homeowners get them too. IE. If it is low-interest government loan, then every American also should have the right to them. If it is reduction of principle, then those don't need it should get...
