Deregulation is supposed to be a good thing--it takes the goverment out of the equation. The market place then should be able govern itself.

But unfortunately, people are involved. People who have few or no scrupples and spoil a good thing. That makes it necessary for government to intervene.

Man just can't handle prosperity--someone always has to screw it up.

AGREE 100% Jae and thats the problem. GREED get in there and then people get all messed up. Yet I still feel within this problem there are many people who made ALOT of money. What about if the Fed just took all the loans and made them 4% loans. 4% is better than no percent. Thats where the people here are screwed, they jumped on the ARM loans and now the intrest rate is so high they cannot afford it.

"Dounds" is not a real word.

Oh, I'm not so much a righty, as I am anti-liberal. I have supported many centrist Democrats in my time. I intend to do so this year as well. I also have concerns for over-the-top right-wingers such as Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell. But they're not in the headlights right now, so I have to work with what the primaries have given us--and Obama is the biggest target.

I'll try to be a little less McCain-appearing in the future, but I don't want to disassociate from Sarah, if you don't mind.

In the Congressional race in my district--it may please many of you to know--that I do not care for either the Democrat or the Republican (incumbent Jean Schmidt). I will be casting my lot with the independent financial advisor who opposes both of the party favorites.

I KNOW!!! What about if the Fed just took all the loans and made them 4% loans. Now you're talkin'. When I become president on the write-in vote, you will be the Fed Chairman. 4% is better than no percent. Thats where the people here are screwed, But they brought it on themselves (more greed) they jumped on the ARM loans and now the intrest rate is so high they cannot afford it.I thought I said that...

Actually, I'm proud of my semi-sort of-conservative-middle-of-the-road-but-on-the-right-side-of-the-center-line political bearing. Unfortunately, there seldom is a candidate whom I can associate with, so I have to decide who I think will be less obtrusive to our lives.

I don't feel McCain's age is much of a factor (his mother is over 95--and heredity plays a big part).

This talk about "a heart-beat away" also works for Obama. He is a smoker (says he's trying to quit) and I wonder what the actuarial figures on him might show. I think Biden may have as much chance of succeeding to the presidency as does Palin, if not better.

I think I pick on Obama more because it makes you guys so...so...crazy and wierd. Some of the responses are really a gas, you know?

terminate 50% of you because:

1) our tax rates just got higher and we therefore have to cut costs; that means payroll and you.

2) the government mandated that we raise the wages we pay to what they consider "fair". That means our costs just got higher and we therefore have to cut costs; that means payroll and you.

3) free trade agreements with friendly governments have been renegotiated. That means higher tariffs on the goods we ship oversees, less profit for US manufacturers, and we therefore have to cut costs; that means payroll and you.

4) increased government regulation of all areas of our business to save trees, oceans, polar bears, spotted owls, etc. means we have to cut costs; that means payroll and you.

5) higher personal tax rates means that consumers in the U.S. have less money to consume with. We can't sell as much, which reduces our profit. We therefore have to cut costs; that means payroll and you.

?

The problem is McCains Mom's intelegence peaked at about 14, and if heredity is all it is cracked up to be, Johnny boy proves it.

He is the proverbial "Sack of Hammers".
