Okay I know I was being optimistic but as a conservative I try to look on the sunny side of this crappy deal.
If the Congress is correct in their figures then I am wrong and it will only cost us tax payers three trillion dollars to bail out the mortgage industry. With the pork they have already loaded the bill with just to get people to sign it in the House we all should know by know that it will cost more than the trillion dollars they initially asked for under the guise of 750 billion. </spa
[quote]If you look at the bill it actually sets initial limits that would have allowed the GSA's to grow the size of their portfolios before it was put into conservatorship.[/quote] Your lack of understanding is shining through once again. First there are no GSA’s there is only one GSA. Unless Congress re-writes its charter there is a little fact that gets in the way of y
[quote] Hopefully the people will remember who voted for this bill and vote them out of office in November, unfortunately by then the damage will have already been done.[/quote] We can always hope for a repeal
[quote]Congratulations Washington, once again you have overstepped your bounds and we the people are going to pay the price.[/quote] Yes, they have and in doing so they think they are helping so it will be very difficult to fix. I see some light at the end of the tunel because "We the people" are telling our representitives how we feel and no one whats to piss off the people during an election year, when this election cycle is over is when they have the best chance of passing a bad bi
[quote]You are wrong to expect any liberals to accept responsibility for their actions, or to accept the fact that their beloved leaders can be wrong.[/quote] True, the Liberals that accept responsibility for their actions are called liberal republicans like Senator McCain and Presidernt Bush.
Okay tell me where I am wrong
I keep reading how it was President Bush’s fault that we are in this mess, I also read how it was President Clinton that is to blame. Some trace it back to President Carter. <p class="MsoNormal" style="ma
[quote]It would have completely isolated Fannie and Freddie from the primary market.....Lead to them having even fewer actual mortgages in their portfolio so they would have been a bigger problem to the taxpayer when they were put into conservatorship.[/quote] So what you are saying is that both are failing and it would be better for them to be on the hook with more liability inst
[quote]As far as the Clinton Admin pilot program you have to dig much deeper into the issue to see where all the blame lies. 24 banks in 15 markets is not what has caused todays real estate problem to manifest into what it is today.[/quote] Once again you have now idea what you are taliking about.
[quote]The fact is, there is no reason why the U.S needs to have over 800 military bases and installations outside of it's own borders! Why do you say this? [/quote]
[quote]He wasnt innocent he was there and did some actions. [/quote] So he was tried and convicted but still remains a senator? I am confused on this one. Thanks for bringing me up to speed on the keeting 5, like I said I was not in the country when that happened, I think I was in North Korea or China that year.

In foreign countries often referred to as "little americas"- Permanent large base with permanent combat forces, extensive infrastructure, munitions depots, C&C, accomodations for families etc etc. This encompasses facilities such as Aviano, Italy, Ramstein, Germany, Kadena, Okinawa, Yongsan, Seoul, soon to be replaced by Camp Hu

In 1977, a presidential directive called for a mobile force capable of responding to worldwide contingencies but to be established without diverting forces from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or Korea. Not until the aftermath of the <a class="mw-redirect" title="Iranian revolution" href="https://forums.joeuser.com/wiki/Iranian_revolutio
You have Mr. Nixon supporting Iran and building friends in the area and then you have Mr. Carter tearing down those friendships allowing terrorism to take root. Not a bad doctrine he had there.
[quote]It really doesnt matter whose idea it was, but you might want to go back to the Carter Administration to see how it applies to the Persian Gulf. It is the Carter Doctrine and the creation of the RDF that is important in this context. The Regan Administration was responsible for expanding the concept of the RDF.[/quote] I think you mean the RDJTF Rapid Deploymen
[quote]I agree with you on this 100%! However, it's no secret that Washington has been very unhappy with Iran for a long time. Yes, they'd love for a popular uprising to take over and then they wouldn't have to use military force. Will it happen? I can't say.[/quote] <span styl
[quote]Keating 5 I say that is worse than Plagerism[/quote] Refresh my memory on this i was living out of the country when that happned.
[quote]That's what I just said. And it goes to what I said was Bush's biggest mistake. Not standing up to the democrats in the first place. (But in all fairness, Bush would have done no better on this as it is based on a flawed premise).[/quote] I have to agree with you here. it was a good idea and a good effort at working with the enemy.
[quote]What was SUPPOSED to happen was this: U.S invades Iraq and wipes the floor with Iraqi army- check After a couple of months situation is calmed down and the U.S then moves on to take out Iran if they already haven't been sufficiently cowed- not so check.[/quote] This makes no sense in any way shape or form. We can not l
[quote]You simply have to trace things back to the Carter Era and see what happened back then. You can even go back further to the start of Aramco and APOC but the nationalization of Iranian and Saudi oil resources are truly defining periods when it comes to foreign policy changes made in the region.[/quote] <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"
