The bill should be trashed.  It won't help the homeowner.  There is nothing punitive that will stick or even be worth the effort.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is no amendment or proposal that could make this bill worth keeping.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Congress should throw it in the trash and go home.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is plenty of money in Wall Street.  They made the bad decisions  This is a free enterprise system.  Let them man up and figure out how to minimize loss and get on with their recovery.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Paulson, Bernanke and Cox should be fired by the government.  Everybody else should be fired by their boards and stockholders</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Astronav</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:45:36 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: More Bailout Politics</title><link>http://washingtonindependent.com/6850/more-bailout-politics#comment-2540459</link><description>HOLDING THE BAG&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;NEWSWIRE--As Congress considers bailout legislation, there is uncertainty whether it will provide homeowners with mortgage assistance.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Halloween's still weeks away,&lt;br&gt;But tricks of finance start today:&lt;br&gt;Some get gift bags in the billions,&lt;br&gt;Others, pennies (mere civilians).&lt;br&gt;Whether treat's insane or small,&lt;br&gt;Depends if street is Main- or Wall-.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.newsandverse.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;www.newsandverse.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Light verse, ripped from the headlines</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">newsandverse</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 23 Sep 2008 09:13:13 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
