This statement is complete nonsense. When you use 'BAD DEBT' as an 'asset' you are getting NOTHING in return. I worked BAD DEBT for many years. If you can recover 10% you were considered a king.

Giving loans to those who have already proven incapable of handling their finances IS NOT GOOD BUSINESS.

Some assume "taxpayer risk" means if the government puts up cash, the taxpayer has to pony up more in taxes if the government loses money on the deal. That's not impossible, but usually it's not that direct.
Yes it is that direct. WE THE TAXPAYERS fund the government.

Quote:
When the Fed steps in to help with cash infusions, it usually produces the money by redeeming the Treasurys in its portfolio.


You guys better learn how the fed operates. What do you think 'the Treasurys' are? The fed cashes them in meaning THE TREASURY issues currancy. This guy is an idiot.

I read the rest of the piece. It is pure sophistry and propaganda that to someone who knows nothing about the fed, economics or politcs (which is the vast majority of americans) sounds feasible. However, the reality is nowhere near as pretty.

Tfac - uh, I live in AZ and people are really pissed that McCain hasn't voted for 6 months - or even shown up for anything other than a photo op. Folks around here feel a little ripped off by the guy that Goldwater called a carbetbagger.

They should not be allowed to run for President AND at the same time continue as Senator.

Kerry did it in 2004. Obama, biden and McCain are doing it now ..

So? How many has Obama missed since he was elected in 2006?

Shall we compare the percentage of votes missed based on the number of possible votes? How about the number of votes missed per term?

They should not be allowed to continue as Senator while running for President.

That is a crime to the American people. We are paying them to run for office.
