Beltway Dems, lavish with taxpayer money for banks, grudging for people who are going to lose their homes

7772So-Where-s-My-Fucking-Pony-PostMore bandaids, bubblegum, and baling wire. Why don't the Beltway Dems figure out a way to slap Obama's name on HOLC -- which is proven to work, please read the detail -- and pass it?

Anyone would think they wanted to give the bankers trillions, with no accountability, and then keep the little people enslaved to debt for the rest of their lives. Because that's how things are working out right now, and at some point, people are going to figure out that what keeps happening isn't an accident.

Couldn't Obama make some phone call on this? Like He did to pass the Bush + Reid + Pelosi + Obama + Paulson trillion dollar bailout for the banks? I mean, does the Czar know?

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.

Random term

Shrill

A ritual term of abuse used of liberals by wingers when the winger lacks a substantive response to an argument. Synonym: "Shut up!" Sometimes used ironically by liberals. Usage example, with irony: I used to like Paul Krugman when he wrote about economics, but lately he's been getting too shrill (from Atrios).

I support Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

Americans United is dedicated to preserving the constitutional principle of church-state separation as the only way to ensure religious freedom for all Americans.
