Adrestia Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) I cannot believe that our "Republican" government is bailing out these irresponsible financial institutions over and over again! When did we become a communist state? At least [i]real[/i] socialists would be bailing out the little guys along with their rich friends. If Canada wasn't so cold I would seriously consider moving. And what's with the stock market? It's not too bad for me. Right now I can get mutual funds at a 30% discount! But my parents were thinking about retiring in the near future. Feel sorry for those near 60 years old right now. Edited October 10, 2008 by tgoldson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 +J.M.J.+ what ticks me off is that if they were gonna do the bailout, then they should ask for all the money back that people made illegally/irresponsibly - those people are getting off scott-free.

Adrestia Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 and I do not like the idea of allowing some people to negotiate new mortgages at a lower home value! that's just crazy. I actually believe that Whoopi Goldberg's idea is the most fair... [i]if[/i] we're going to do it for some, do it for all. She proposed an across the board 25% forgiveness for all home loans taken out between 2003 and now. That way people like me - who scrimp and save and go without in order to pay their bills on time - are not punished for being financially responsible.
