foreclosures drop

[grandmama]

"To your original point. This thing is far from over, there is another wave of foreclosures coming...hold on tight, it will get worse. Even Hillary is slamming BO for his irresponsible, out of touch domestic policies.

I agree with your notion above. Unfortunately,I believe that until there's campaign finance reform, we will continue to get to pick between two people that are bought and paid for by elites. Anyway, back to the economy, I ran across this guy while I was watching links tv. Although I do not agree with everything the guy presents in his argument, I do think that it's another point of view that needs to slip into the American consciousness it's time to think outside the box. Even if we install all of the regulations that were wiped away in 1999 I believe that won't be enough. I believe FDR was one of our greatest presidents, but to claim that his new deal policies were the only reasons that we bounced back from the depression would be intellectually dishonest; WWII saved our ass, and the aftermath of the war virtually eliminated most of our competition. I would like for you to check this guy out, the video clip is at the bottom of the screen. (it's only 55 min long)

your right that Clinton signed it into law, but Phil Gramm and the Pub house and Sen were the main reasons for deregulation. I for one, still do not know why people do not realize that Clinton was a centrist. BTW, in regards to Glass-Steagall, the latter part (Steagall) was my wifes maiden name. Henry Stegall is from Alabama, and was a great --great uncle of my wifes, or something like that. Anyway, when they got rid of that act, it essentially created the too big to fail banks that we had to bail out.

i don't think anyone is saying the rep's had nothing to do with this. BOTH sides had to go along with this to pass it. he was just pointing out that vitturd saying rep's are the ones to blame is completely wrong and just more talking points in his posts.

Husker, you have been wrong about everything for 2 years now. You are a walking talking point

So for the first time in 5 years foreclosures drop in the month of april. Sounds like good news to me. Auto sales, consumer sales, consumer spending. All up.

I know when it is all going the other way it is obama admin fault. So does he get any credit for the turn around? Hmmmmm I wonder

I don't believe the foreclosure drop as banks are keeping inventory called "shadow inventory" as they can't dump all of it on the market at once. Not only that, but commercial foreclosures are now on the rise.

I bet I know what u think is cause of housing crisis. Barney frank and dems making banks loan money to people who couldn't afford to pay it back. That has been the rep tag line for a while. The rep have tried to make us believe that even though the dems had control of congress for 2 years and rep were in control for 8 in white house and 6 in congress it all was destroyed in those 2 years. Neat theory but untrue. The amazing deregualtion of everything, which is a rep staple, was a big factor. Plenty of blame to go around

WRONG WRONG WRONG AGAIN> Learn some history. The CRA was passed under Clinton and rammed thru by Frank and Dodd. Your assertion above, if you were a politician, would be called disengenuous. Since you're not, I'll assume its ignorance...If it's not that, it's an out and out LIE! Learn somethng about the Community Reinvestment Act...Check out the amendments to it passed in 1994 under Billy!!!!!

[vitterd]

I guess u missed phil gramm small role in that act. Please stop just including what u want. That bill was negotiated for a long time and the white house caved on things they never should have. Things brought forth by rep controlled congress.deregulation included

I know it sounds better for u to just include dems but u talk about disingenous and flat out lies? Lying by omission I guess is ok

you can't reason with people like Umrebs and Jmacman. You can with people like husker and robby moroni, so I would suggest that you don't even pay the first two any mind. Umrebs and the majority of everyone else in his tea bag movement subscribe to the notion of Revisionist History. Hey Rebs, how are all of those tax returns treating the majority of everyone in your party now? Oh, I already know that you're gonna say that you had to pay more taxes like everyone else in your tea party movement is saying, I think the IRS would disagree.

you can't reason with people like Umrebs and Jmacman. .

But you can with people like vitterd right???

[grandmama]

Honestly, if you would have said that to Kaz or MM I would not have said a word ,,,

[vitterd]

Its amazing I'm the unreasonable one yet all the name calling and killing of babies talk comes from the other people.

I called someone mentally challenged and crazy right winger. I've been called asshole, pussy, piece of shit, douchebag and was told my dad should have put a spike thru my head.. just to name a few. Yep, easy to reason with those people.
U righties never ever let facts get in the way of a good story

I would just like to say that outside of the spike thru the head comment everything else you have been called looks 1000% correct.
