I agree with the idea that we should embrace change. I really like the part that we should become part of the solution for all the issues our world is facing right now. This blog is very dynamic.

While the government may have asked them to make these loans, these industries took that "mandate" and ran with it. They saw the pot of gold at the end of the tunnel and disregarded the dangers that these unsound business decisions would put their own businesses and the economy in. While it is nice idea to think that they possess the integrity to police themselves without government regulation, recent history shows that they cannot. Thanks for stopping by... Carlos,

For every regulation that they impose, 5 more are needed to deal with their effects. Government, DEMANDED that those banks make those NINJA loans. As far as TARP goes... nothing but a massive racket, of the likes we've never seen before. Government regularization of the Banking industry is what caused the problem to begin with.

I don't even know where to start here..... Obama so far is a total disaster. Lets start with TARP money... Suppossed to be used to provide money so the banks could lend. So far lending is scarce and the money has also been used to bail out GM and Chrysler. The US is now in the business of selling cars. We were promised that if we lend this money to the car companies they would not go bankrupt. Wrong!! both companies went into bankruptcy and now will layoff enough people to bring Michigan to about 20% unemployment and the ripple effect it will have on the small business in the surrounding states. Stimulus bill... Obama said if we did not pass it unemployment would reach 8%...well we are at 9.5% expected to reach 10% in August and worst if the Cap and trade bill passes the Senate(Fat chance of that..too many rural and coal country dems). So far Obama lied to Aerica twice. Obama said that he would not raise any kind of taxes on any American making less than $200,000...well if you are a smoker in the middle class you are aware of lie number three. Bail of Wall Street... I am glad that Obamas' work to help the middle class has led him to help the Fat cats in Wall Street stay out of bankruptcy. Housing Market... can Obama explain why the executives of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac(They received a big bailout) are getting bonuses and wage hikes (could it be because his frineds run them?) Transparency...Paraphrasing Obama...I will not sign any bill until it is posted on the net for 5 days for Americans to read... well except for the Stimulus bill and a host of others that were not even read by the representatives that signed them.... Another lie Iraq.... I will bring the boys home Obama said....Well except for the 50,000 or so trainers and "logistical" troops that will remain in the country indefinetely....Another lie Yep this is change we need Change is good, but not at the expense of freedom Becoming a nanny state is not in line with the perseverence and self reliance that America was built upon. Rugged individualism, liberty and the ability to set ones own course without the constrains of an overeaching government is the American way....This president does not adhere to the foundations of our Constitution. Boy oh boy!!!
I don’t even know where to start here…..
Obama so far is a total disaster.
Lets start with
TARP money… Suppossed to be used to provide money so the banks could lend. So far lending is scarce and the money has also been used to bail out GM and Chrysler. The US is now in the business of selling cars. We were promised that if we lend this money to the car companies they would not go bankrupt.

Yep this is change we need
