Curious Mind | Understanding the "Bailout"? |
So let me get this straight. The american financial system, essentially capitalism, failed. So the government wants to cheat by using tax money to help crooked banks who were just following the capitalist way of life by greedily taking money from the average joe with obsurd promises. This is compounded by the fact that not only did they get away with your money in the stock market, they get to take your tax dollars as well. But the government doesn't care. They know you'll work your 9-5 job and give them even more money and their coffers will increase every time. |

First off, it wasn't capitalism that failed. It was government intervention in capitalism. Second, they didn't get any of my money in the stock market. Conservatives got out last year, seeing it coming. Third, taxpayers aren't bailing it out, right now anyway. China and global investors, are. They have too much to lose. If they don't, the dollar is no more. If it does survives, the taxpayers that do pay for it, aren't born yet. Forth. Please do not assume everything is fixed. We could be in very, very deep trouble by Winter.
Fifth. If people are confident these mortgages may be profitable, why did nobody in the private sector, people who actually do have a clue, not offer to buy them instead? |

Not quite that cut and dried. The savings and loan scandal actually returned some of the bailout money to the treasury (although the workouts cost a lot). WE (all of us) now own assets. We don't know how much they are worth or when we can realize any sale of them (right now would be useless). Also, some people will be able to keep their homes if their loans can undergo a workout (doesn't mean a freebie, this is common in commercial loans).
WE are also the stock market--your retirement fund, 401K and anything else is IN that market and for awhile you benefitted, like the rest of us. But now people near retirement will have to wait until the market goes up again.
This is a common boom and bust scenario essential to capitalism. It's not as us-and-them as you think. |

NEWS BULLETIN:

Wachovia Bank: Based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
This is NOT a Wall Street bailout. The rapid decline in the housing market has left many banks holding mortgages that are collateralized by homes that are now worth less than the value of the loan. Banks are afraid to loan money because they are unsure about the creditworthiness of borrowers. Lately, they are even afraid to loan money amongst themselves, which has led to the most critical part of this whole fiasco.
The purpose of the Rescue Plan is to buy some of these troubled mortgages from the banks AT DEEP DISCOUNTS. If the Federal Government holds them until maturity, some of them may turn out to be quite profitable. Alternatively, they can wait for the markets to recover a bit and then begin reselling them at prices higher than the firesale prices they will be buying them at. |

Too complicated to answer. Your understanding is too flawed, and I dont know where to start. |

Not exactly. |

Not quite - the two mortgage giants that started the mess were semi-independent of the government (like the Postal Service). They are highly regulated and have been subject to laws requiring them to make bad loans. In effect, the government caused their failure so is responsible for fixing the problem. An attempt was made to de-regualate the industry but half-fast measures are often worse then none at all. The US is less socialist then Europe but at best it can be called social capitalism. Socialist remedies are generally a bad thing but when socialism hinders the market from making small changes, they build up. The market can still fix itself but that would mean a worldwide depression thanks to government meddling. The bailout is a short term fix to restore confidence in the market so monies for short-term loans are free flowing again (businesses need them to meet payrolls then pay them back in a week or so). Now the work begins - fixing the actual problem by getting government out of the business of business. |

Then the government will take away our right to bear arms so we have no chance to rise up against these mongers. And the middle class is enslaved by the corporate powers. Sounds like a pre-determined plan to me. You know how they will take away our right to bear arms, remember in order for it to be passed by congress, they need a very good reason to. That reason would be to agitate the people so much that riots and protests are getting larger and more dangerous. Until eventually somebody uses a gun. Then congress will say "ok in order for us to keep everything under control and our economy to be strong without these protesters ruining it, we have to outlaw the sale of any arms". And there goes one of our freedoms. The ONLY freedom we will have left to stop them. The middle class is getting weaker and weaker while the upper powers are getting wealthier. IT IS ALL PLANNED. The world events are a stage and it is PLANNED and ACTED OUT. Slowly, deceitfully, behind the curtain. This stuff is real folks. Dont listen to your news anchor man who sees this as just being normal. And you're like yeah, everything is fine, people who think otherwise are just paranoid. No its because if you think everything is fine ... their plan is working. You need more knowledge cause what is programmed in your brain right now is work, family, school. You need more knowledge of whats happening on the outside. The eye on top of the pyramid is in control of you and is making sure you dont know what they know. Well Im giving it to you here folks. Its all planned, they care nothing of you. They are doing these events very very skillfully. You would think "Bush is so dumb why would he do that!". No, Bush is very smart ... he knows EXACTLY what he is doing. YOU'RE the sheep who is being herded. And if you continue to ignore it and be stubborn its not only going to ruin you but you / we allowed this evil to take over our world. How do we stop it? WE cant. But other countries might. Just be ready for it. World domination has gone on for thousands of years ... the last one was only 65 years ago. Another will be coming ... its called New World Order, or Military Industrial Complex. |

You understand it correct. There is no way out of this situation. American people are practically hostages and nobody is on their side. |
