Don't worry the govt will be right by your side to bail you out

Green Cactus....was not insinuating where you stood on the position. Was just relaying my position on the matter. So you never responded to the rest of my thread....come on man I have nothing to do at work!!!!

IrvineCommuter....that is exactly what Mr. Bush wants to hear...kudos...kudos...kudos.

Green Cactus First off, do you really believe the stimulus is going to work? It's 1% of the total GDP and relies on consumers to spend it to prop the economy not save or pay off debt....man I know where my check is going. T!M you said "If someone is poor and can barely afford the...

Green_Cactus Florida, Tennessee, and Texas(not 100% sure on TX) are all states that use a version of the Fair Tax...ie not State Income Tax. Trust me I don't believe that we should abolish the IRS...I personally believe we still need corporate taxes...however their is many inefficiencies...

OCPOP says...."Mino2126, think about that comment for a minute. Are you advocating that we should have no government altogether? How about national defense, police, SEC, public education, medicare? You are essentially saying that you are better equipped to provide these services by yourself than...

Man....how can you guys all suggest just walk away first without atleast trying to get a short sell approved? They walk away with no impact to credit and they won't have to pay taxes on any of the losses....according to the bill that just got passed. I view walking away, especially that...

Subprimer I haven't seen anyone suggest this yet and I personally think this should be your first resort trying to solve your problem...Short Sell. Try listing the house on the market below the comps and selling it. This way if you can get approved for the short sell you will not...

Man I don't know where I would be without my microwave from NASA...kidding. T!M....the rich already account for the majority of the tax burden in the US and as Mr. Bush himself has said "if they want to give more to the govt, the govt has turned away free money yet". It's just like when...

Atleast after 5 months they are finally admitting their is a large problem. Regardless of project lifeline it does not solve the problem it just stalls the problem. Personally the govt needs to bow out and let the markets fix this mess. The quicker they do that the sooner we will...

This is a little off beat, hopefully I don't sound like a biggot or piggest, however I bet their are quite a few men who would not mind if their women made more than them and us "men" could undertake more of a homemaker role. Sincerely, Trying to bring humor to the discussion

Green Cactus, I am not refuting your numbers but aren't they alittle subjective? From my knowledge most women do not go into the higher paying fields. For instance, I went to a very big University that was in the top of all engineering fields and you rarely saw women in any of these...

I am not say that Bob is lazy but Bob gets to make his own decisions and he has opportunities, maybe not like others, to better himself and to create an opportunity for his children to do better than him. It's not a question of choices it a question of determination and self motivation...

FairEconomist What do you think about the fair tax?

I wonder why this is not getting as much attention as it should? Awhile ago we made some speculative comments about municipalities and states running deficits because tax revenue would not be coming in as expected. This might be the next hot button unless Buffet comes in and really makes his mark.

I was just curious to know what effects that the bond insurers like Ambac and MBIA are going to have on Mello-Roos, if any, on a forward going basis. My understanding of Mello-Roos is that it is a bond that is created to put in place the infrastructure needed to support new residential...

I guess these guys are trying to make new careers out of this. <a href="http://www.youwalkaway.com">www.youwalkaway.com</a>

I don't think "just because he started the company" is a good reason for letting him do whatever he wants with his stock. Typically as companies start to faulter you see the C-Level executive start buying stock to show they have confidence in the company and a plan to move forward. In CFC's...

Great more poo that Fannie and Freddie can hold on their books. I really do not get why the Federal Govt can never take the high road and say unforunately people got over leveraged and over consumed, and as a result their is nothing we can do. The markets will fix themselves in time and...

LM Don't forget about the Massive Super Tsunami from the Canary Islands in Africa that could wipe out the entire eastern US seaboard.
