It is a multi billion dollar buyout for over spent consumers….drafted by the democrats to essentially try and buy the senate so they can go about crushing democracy and capitalism.
Note it is sooo bad that I doubt even enough Democrats will approve it.

I believe that bad ideas have always been rampant on both sides of the aisle. Fortunately, most of them don't come to fruition.

I didnt read the entire article but I have an issue with the whole foreclosure and mortgage "crisis" why is the government bailing people out that cant pay their house payment? So many people were horribly STUPID when purchacing their home. I turned down many loans that I could have gotten becuase I didnt like the terms and decided to continue to rent because I knew that the market was going to go down and the intrest rates would go up. Adjustable rates are for suckers. Everyone knew that the rates were going to go back up. IT'S COMMON ****ING SENCE! Markets go up and down. Make them pay for their stupidity and they will learn (hopefully). Stop bailing people out when they make stupid decisions.
End Rant!
