1) Reinstate the uptick rule on short sales;

2) The Treasury should buy into all the major banks with the same terms that Warren Buffet got from Goldman Sachs or the Treasury got from AIG;

3) Abolish the rule that bankruptcy courts cannot renegotiate mortgages. It is obvious that house prices need to fall further so that the market can find its bottom;

4) Replace Mueller at the FBI and replace him with someone who will prosecute the mortgage company executives that executed the predatory practices that created the housing bubble;

5) Pass a law in Congress that all financial derivatives valued greater than $100,000 must be registered within 30 days under penalty of law with the US Treasury and have Oracle build a web-based application to accept all this data. Once the US Treasury knows who has what, the US Treasury can quickly and efficiently unwind all these derivatives and recommend legislation as to what derivatives will continue to be legal and which will be banned under the rule of law.

First of all, Treasury Secretary Paulson should have been fired when he sent Congress a flagrantly unconstitutional bill that would make him tin-pot dictator with no judicial review for his actions. As if the constitution were toilet paper

I didn’t like the judicial review provisions any better than you did, Ron, but flagrantly unconstitutional? Probably not, per Article III, Section 2 of said U.S. Constitution:

“In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make.”

Or, this one from the Boston Globe outing Barney Frank: http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2008/09/28/franks_fingerprints_are_all_over_the_financial_fiasco/

1) An ideology that completely mirrors the ideology of this past 8 years.
2) An ideology that recognizes the few while completely disregarding the masses.
3) An ideology that believes in taking military action against Iraq, an incident that is completely unrelated to 9/11, without solidifying our claims beforehand. In the present, we have found no evidence of weapons of mass destructions or a tie to Osama Bin Laden. The devastation of this war has cost us over 4,000 of our brave troops and counting, over 1/2 trillion dollars of taxpayer’s money and counting, and over 1 million Iraqi lives unrelated to the terrorists or insurgency.

4) An ideology that still believes that the Iraq War is the right war on terrorism when the Afghanistan War should had been the right war on terrorism, where Osama Bin Laden actually was until he slipped into the mountains and into Pakistan’s territory now. The Iraq War also diverted our attention away from the Afghanistan War. We now have extended our resources in two separate places and have heightened our risk to our troops, our expenses, and creating another dilemma that will take quite some time to finalize. The Iraq War will not go away overnight and it is now our obligation to see it all the way through for God knows how many more years. This has also been the most unpopular war in the eyes of the world’s communities.
5) An ideology that believes that we are at our safest state since 9/11, when a recent terrorist plot was still trying to enter Great Britain’s airports with liquid explosives heading directly to us, but thankfully the plot was foiled. While in Afghanistan, the terrorists are regrouping and strengthening and we have recently suffered another high casualty to our troops yet again within this past month. We currently have the least amount of alliances in the world’s communities due to this unpopular Iraq War. True national securities are the ties that bind us to our world’s communities and the ties that bind them to us.
6) An ideology that vetted one of the most inexperience VP ticket in history, from foreign policies to national defense. If God forbids that anything happens to this President if elected and is stricken with illness, this VP will be running the country. For a more compelling look at Sarah Palin’s VP readiness, please look at these links below —

7) An ideology that believes in “the fundamentals of our economy are strong” while we are facing the highest mortgage foreclosure crisis, high unemployment rate, and the largest collapse of our financial infrastructures since The Great Depression of 1929.

This is an ideology that many of us in America are against. Whether this ideology is in the Republican or Democratic ticket is not the main issue but the fact is that America does not want to fall into another 4 more years of devastation. We cannot afford this anymore.

It’s because the money and blame all lead back to them.

Read Simpson’s piece over at “americanthinker.com” on 9/28. “Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis.”

Don’t cast a vote ’til you’ve read it.

lets see what tomorow rings

so far turkey-looking fat balloons in the senate DID pass the piece-o-crap bill

It’s the greed over the bailout money that has things jammed up. If they pass that piece-o-crap bill tonight, the market will head straight down to around 10,000 as the “little guys” pull everything out of stocks. If that passes – better sell tomorrow, if you can find an up-tick.

There used to be people around that knew something about the market – these days there are only talking heads repeating whatever the current meme is – i.e. Doom and more Doom if something doesn’t pass. They are IDIOTS…

John McCain does not know finances and keeps
Phil Graham in his ear. His financial advisers are Obama people no one could give
him that bad advice and be for him. Also the
advisers giving advice to Governor Palin must
be Bush advisers that got him his 25% approval rating.

Doesn’t McCain know that the Governors appeal
is that she is not in bed with the Washington crowd. They should say that International events change so fast that
no one knows what they would do and good advisers will give her the facts at that time. Obama should clue her into the extra
7 states and their votes so they are on a
level playing field. She only has to deal
with 50 right now, and if elected she can
get the info for the others from him that
must be the Senator for them and Ill.

Let’s see 95% of blacks say they are voting
for Obama!!! So PBS’s Gwen Ifil is for Obama
what is the McCain camp thinking?

Cheers, rfm
