By “Stimulus”, the government meant anything that encouraged the performance NOW! (as opposed to later or in the FUTURE…)
By “Forbearance”, the government meant that it will forgive any resolutions or amounts promised in the PAST! (as opposed to contracts or promises in the NOW!…)
By “Appraisal”, the government meant any attempt made to give a value to a property that was on the market NOW!
All these things the Government meant were missing in documentation. The general public was to go “blind”. The legal interpretations were left to the lawyers, politicians and accountants! “Transparency” was just another word! Another dream of election “rhetoric”!
No one could make “real” plans. The executives couldn’t put figures to these dreams. Employment would just have to seek its own level, and “home delinquencies” would have to endure. This was the state of “rhetoric” without “legal definition”!
The politicians in Washington were more interested in votes than they were in the problems of the national public. The “Democrats” wanted to run things and the “Republicans” wanted to prevent this from happening. Both parties were building “for a future”. The “general Public” be damned!
Whatever happened to “personal responsibility”? Here a Nation was suffering and the appointment of a rank amateur was declared by a loyal and vociferous young group that wanted to “change” everything”. There was no allowance given for experience, “older age” or “the ways of Washington, D.C. No everything was for “change NOW”!
Who’s going to pay? The young and the “coronationists”? With what?....taxes?
The soaking of the “rich” won’t pay a quarter of what will be the National debt. What then?
Is America faced with a third world outlook or will America turn itself around?
Does Washington have the brains to pull this off?
This is the big question……

#7900 - #19 - Is the U.S. Government guilty of “fraud”?
What is anything worth?
Who or What determines the value of anything? ….. (Toxic Mortgages, etc.)
Is the value of anything determined by the community we live in?
Do different societies want the same things?
What about the “stimulus package”?
What about “bailout packages”?
What about National differences.
What about Social differences
Different societies value things differently.
Different ideas by different societies (ideas of death, religion, security, etc..) have different values.
With all these differences ; why do we want our government to place a value on anything?
Why do we want the government to determine every value?
Why do we want government to run our lives?
Why do we want government as a “last resort”?.....Who wants government and why?
The results are already in!... Look at “transparency”! …. What a joke!
The government is turning the financial crisis into a Lawyer’s and Accountant’s nightmare. Talk in terms of alphabet soup; incomprehensible to the average American consumer! So much for “greater transparency”!
Healthcare by the government? … You have to be kidding!
End the present financial crisis? ... You have to be kidding!
Bailouts? Stimulus packages?…. You have to be kidding! (Market to market? …. You have to be kidding!)
For those of you who expect the government to hands us a plan? …. You have to be kidding!
Did you make a mistake in your coronation of Obama?
The “Government” says “Trust me!”.
The “Government” will “take care of you”.
“Run up your credit cards, spend your cash, make poor business decisions!.
All you have to do is complain; and your Government and your children’s future will bail you out!
Whatever happened to “personal responsibility”?

#7900 - #18 - The Universal collapse of the United States of America !
Did we vote for a “gambler” who gambles our money for a budget crisis?
Did we vote for a person who gambles everything on questionable “policy”?
Did we vote for a person who gambles the Nation’s treasury, the whole treasury, on a future to “fix all the nation’s ills” at one time?
What can a healthy nation afford?
With its economic background, what can any Nation afford its citizens?
Are the Citizen’s realistic? …. Did the Government offer more than it can produce?
What, realistically, can the Government offer to produce effectively now?
Suppose the people want more than the government can produce effectively? Who is going to tell the people that their expectations are not possible in the length of time allotted?
Certainly NOT the “politicians” who want their votes! (by giving everything away!)
Then who? …the President (from his “bully pulpit”)!
The people expect “transparency”….. Who is going to give them “that”?
After hearing “The Central Business” committee hearing and one last plea from the Chairman…” Who are the major owners of the “toxic problems” ; and hearing another “NON ANSWER”, the meeting was adjourned. No wonder the American people are upset. We can’t even figure out, approximately, how much we are in debt”. Transparency” it seems is just a little ,fancy word by a wordsmith!
Is it safe to “gamble” the entire U.S. treasury on policies that aren’t even debated?
Would total transparency scare the American people?
Do most of the people care? …. What would make them “care”?
Forget the “Ipod” thing! ….Forget who won the World Series…… Forget the petty things! …
Who’s going to pay? … With what? …. How much? …. For how long? …What are my obligations?
Suppose I don’t pay? … What will living in America mean? … What will life in America look like?...
This is the stuff of the “Bully Pulpit!”
“What will life in America look like?”
Will there have to be an armed “resolution”? …. Whose going to fight whom? … With what?
Talk about the need to inform America…. Is there time? …. Whose job is it?
If we do not address this, the headlines will read:
“The Universal collapse of the United States of America !”
