Finally, someone is making some sense when it comes to the bailout. The problem is, will House Democrats lend an ear to what conservatives are saying, or simply do what they do best - spend, and waste, taxpayer dollars? House conservatives, led by Reps. Cantor, Hensarling, and Ryan, today introduced the above list of conservative economic principles that should guide Congress through this process. I commend them for not blindly accepting the plan the Administration, or the Democrats, put forth. But in addition to these principles, I would add that the appropriate agencies should be given authority to change the accounting rules to reflect market principles or, if they already have that authority, it should be required that they use it. Now is the time to implement market principles, not socialist ideas that have driven these Democrat leaders for the last 50 years. Finally, we must be very vocal in attacking Democrats for causing this through their regulatory, socialist, big government worldview. House Republicans are making the right moves by injecting their conservative principles into the debate, but no matter what is put out there, they should feel free to VOTE NO!
Tom, your first link, to the current conservative principles, says don't regulate. But your second link blames Democrats for not supporting a key piece of legislation that would have regulated Fannie and Freddie. So what's your point?
MY point is, unbridled greed kills, and it certainly has almost mortally wounded our great nation.
You can control greed through regulation.
And ONLY through regulation.
Unless of course you want to do it through totalitarianism. |

Planet Gene, so you say you can only control greed through regulation> Sorry but i disagree and say that with God as their God that people will have a better time of controlling greed. And people that have rejected God are more likely to give into greed. |

Once again the liberal attack machine is busy insulting people for having the audacity to exercise their constitutional rights. Once again you have liberals crying to be taken care of by the government. What Democrats always fail to understand is that Government always fails when given this type of problem to solve. When Government(Community reinvestment Act) removed the risk of failure and the attendant consequences, greedy peolpe moved in to the feed trough. When Bill Clinton expanded Jimmy Carters act and then used the federal government as a bully pulpit to forced lending institutions to abandon financial principals and take on sub prime lending, it was only a matter of time until the collapse. Ask yourself this Mr. Liberal what changed in the last 30 years to allow this....and no, people don't just throw the dice and hope for a profit. Risk management is always key. And when you remove risk, well you have Chris Dodd, Barack Obama and Charles Schumer saying "there's no problem" until the house of cards fall. |

What would Reagan do? I think the real question should be, What DID Reagan do? I'll tell you what He did. He dumped on the average working stiff every chance that He got. Conservatives just dont get it. The real economic engine in this country is that average working stiff. Now that the pain is starting to trickle up to the greedy they just might get the message once and for all! |

This is so funny ,last month it was that mccain was in the pocket of big business,and the dems protect the little guy, now its the dems that want to take our money and give it to the big guy, and mccain says NO, LETS LOAN IT BUT NOT GIVE IT, and the dems are the ones fighting to SAVE the very evil part of socioty they profess to dispise.What a bunch of IDIOTS you are , and thank goodness someone will protect all tax payers, even you idiots, from YOURSELF and your leaders,I almost chocked when I had to discribe them as LEADERS.LIARS is more appropo,and when the dust settles on this crisis, I would be moving to IRAN if I were CHRIS DODD and BARNEY FRANK, I doubt they can survive whats coming when it all come to the light of day. |

Mr. Sparky -- Well, waddaya know, religion really is the opiate of the masses...
(Incidentally, I used to understand that communist dictum as meaning that faith in God substitutes for concern for one's own well-being. But now I see that it's more like, if you can get people to spend all their time doing religious things -- praying, developing faith-based reasons for the way things happen, etc. -- it frees up the market for the conservative rich greed-heads to go out there and make their billions.)
Those guys play you guys like a freakin' piano.
You can turn it around though. Just join those neo-fundamentalists who put Jesus' first Commandment -- love your neighbor -- first and foremost in their lives. You'll soon see how the camel is trying to pass through the eye of the needle. |

So... the evil Democrats caused the collapse of Wall Street through mere negative thoughts?
It makes me wonder how you held on so long, because we were trying to think you out of Washington years before your karma came home to roost.
This whole Rovian non-reality thing is tough to carry through with right about now. Enough!
You and your slime still hangs, rotting, on my country's congress.
Enough of ideology above practicality! But most of all, enough of the low road. That is not of help, and denigrates a great nation.
This is not just some big baseball game between red and blue!

Y'all happy now? The bailout would have cost a mere $700 billion, over time, and a lot of it recouped, where the Wall Strett crash yesterday lost everyone who invests (are you listening, Middle Class?) $1.1 trillion. Value for your buck, eh? Good job, geniuses. |
