so, why is Freddy/Fanny issuing basically subprime mortgages right now, with 3% money down, etc?

that's exactly what i m talking about: Bear Sterns, AIG, JPMorgan etc - these are private companies ... U can name a few more private co that went down and was bailed out ...
didn't hear anything about Freddy/Fanny ... if they r doing it - it's not good ... it is abuse ... that's what OWS is against! ...

Freddy/Fanny are basically government companies, used to be quasi-government, but 100% government now, and they keep doing it NOW..

JPM did not get bailed out.. btw, US actually made money on TARP.. the only place we lost money is GM bailout

Andrej, you seem to be action - reaction type of the person. Probably good for muisian, terrible for analitical discussions..

In case of Andrei's past logical conclusions, let me enhance Mike's question:

Вот я не понимаю, о чем Вы спороте :


Когда людям гиворят : Мы снизим налоги *богатым , а Ван их повысим .

Как они должны реагировать?

I don't take offense when someone states that they don't read my posts ( I don't really care), I do however find it amusing when someone intentionally says that they ignore my posts while simultaneously insulting me ( attempting to further discredit what I write) in an obviously pathetically desperate effort to defend their own argument with a third party. funnier yet, because they frequently reply to these posts they claim not to read. on a related note, research shows that individuals who make disparaging remarks about others (particularly in the absence of prior provocation), display higher levels of narcissism and antisocial behavior... guess I was naive to believe that Mike was actually maturing, turns out he was merely temporarily sparing us his usual obnoxious display of his over inflated sense of self worth. woof, woof, indeed.

а кто планирует "нам" повышать налоги?
Кто ? Ну например Кейн любое замена *Income Tax *на VAT или Consumer tax - это уменьшие налогов на наиболее богатых *и *повышение налогов на средний класс

"Мы снизим налоги *богатым , а Ван их повысим"
Боротся с властью бесполезно. Нужно стремится стать богатым и платить маленькие налоги. Так и решим.
