Good news,
The House approved a housing rescue plan today by a vote of 266-154, with 39 Republicans!

Now Master Bush the mighty and wise President promises a Veto.
This bill would drop some peoples monthly mortgage payments from $2200 a month to $1200, and without doing the math (I have no idea) could possibly put more money back into the economy than all Bushes tax rebates, (which is just printed money) and put confidence into a shell shocked public!

I keep hearing from the Republicans how it is the Democrats fault that the economy is failing. Well here it is the proof that Bush and the Republicans are tying their hands, making it impossible for them to do anything.

My prediction- Bush will Veto, and then the House, with only a slim majority, will not be able to muster enough votes to override the Veto. Then later the Republicans will come out and say, The Democrats have a majority and still do nothing. Its their fault, why blame Bush and the Republicans!!

What do you think?

Please feel free to cuss me. I'll just laugh.........

i think it will happen.i hope this time every one goes out and votes they need to. their is so much that we need in the us. we have had to deal with this c### for 8 years

I DONT EXPECT ANYONE TO BAIL ME OUT WHEN I MAKE A STUPID MISTAKE.... like overextending my finances.... Im with the pres on this one.

its sad that politics are being played at the expense of working class people...but hell, what do I care?, Im just praying for a really big storm.....

Obviously, you assume that EVERYONE just happened to overextend their finances. You are therefore ignoring people who might have been injured and can no longer make what they had made before. People who've lost their jobs to over seas markets and no new jobs have come around to fill the void in those cities and town. People who have a spouse suddenly walk out and they are left to try to find ways to make ends meet, raising a family, with the second income gone.

Don't paint everyone with the same brush. And since this credit crisis and mortgage crisis happened nation wide at the same time, it is a symptom of something bigger than some people overspending.

Simplistic thinking breeds simplistic solutions.

Republican rhetoric is two sided. They scream about people getting hand outs but have their pockets wide and ready for the "economic stimulus" money handed out from the government and now they are agreeing to welfare for the upper class in the form of housing help. Either they are heartless people who care not for any person who by their "standards" is a drain on the system or they are a part of the hander outer recievers???

You should have factored that into the equation before going into any business dealings. The what ifs? Its called pre-planning and thinking of a worse case scenario. Don't look for our tax dollars to bail you out anytime you make a bad business decision. What's next? Your Sears bill?

well marine most people do factor in things but we all know the banks loaned to people they knew couldn't make it so if they can bail out the banks,they sure as hell can bail out the people they f@#$ked over.

Problem with you dragon is that you don't realize the difference between Republican and Conservative. Here is you lesson for today. Republican will tell you what you want to hear just like a democrat when it comes to voting. A conservative stands by their principles that are tried and true. They know the things that will work because they pay attention to history and what has made this country great from the original forefathers ideals. The ones you shrug off as a joke but have given you the freedoms that you use and some think abuse on here. Not all of us are religious but we respect the ORIGINAL,not the superceded religions tossed into the fray. We also know when to seperate the religion from government but know even though they are seperate they can give us a direction without being biased. We also recognize that there are those who claim to be us but are not. I guess in a perfect world you would be right. Its not perfect when you throw the human equation into it. Sometimes bad people have to be dealt with and not just with words. The people who often have to do this are often confronted by the liberals who call them baby killers or spit on them. We are not robots and have freedom to think on our own. The military is a volunteer force and look how many are in fighting for this. The majority are for it even if the news media says different. I especially like how you bring up your points the case of military suicides. You would like to make a connection that it's George Bushs fault. You don't even factor in any other issues that could have lead to their deaths. You express it as another reason for how right you are on your beliefs.

So the government is supposed to deal with the every day bad decisions of every American aka micromanaging? I left my parents at 19 and do not need the government to replace them.

well marine kudos to you.

Conservative rhetoric's the best kind. Can't beat it with a stick, folks. It's what makes the most sense if you take the time to think about it. If you don't, the other types of rhetoric'll have to serve you and do (poorly). Good luck.

A conservative stands by their principles that are tried and true. They know the things that will work because they pay attention to history and what has made this country great from the original forefathers ideals.

Yeah, Thats what has happened over the last 8 years. The things that are tried and true.
Sure am glad they worked otherwise the economy might be in shambles....

You don't know me You are wrong on the whole dam paragraph, wasted typing.

there is no recession..bush said so.
