The federal loan program and the home ownership it provided worked fine for decades,
that is the truth. It was not until greed was allowed too pervert the system that we had
this catastrophe.
Neither party has stemed the rise of big government. In my eyes they are the same pizza with differant toppings (abusing metaphors is fun).
Big government does nothing. Government should be as close to the voters as possible (city, county, and state) and federal should be extremely limited. Anything else invites corruption and tyrrany.
So do you oppose the fact that tens of millions of people have become home owners
thanks to Federal loan programs? Prior to any of this mess, entire mortgages were paid
off all thanks to those policies... I do not approve of everything, but there are many cases
where it has done good, both my parents and myself included have benefited from the
student loan programs for another example...
Think you're missing the part where the Gov't doesn't actually have any money. The money it spends is that taken from the people. So the Govt didn't pay for your house or school, we did. You're welcome.

"And I'm requiring all companies that drill for gas on public lands to disclose the chemicals they use. America will develop this resource without putting the health and safety of our citizens at risk."
"When you put on that uniform, it doesn't matter if you're black or white; Asian or Latino; conservative or liberal; rich or poor; gay or straight."
"But if election-year politics keeps Congress from acting on a comprehensive plan, let's at least agree to stop expelling responsible young people who want to ... defend this country. Send me a law that gives them the chance to earn their citizenship. I will sign it right away."
"New lightweight vests for cops and soldiers that can stop any bullet."
"I'm proposing a Veterans Job Corps that will help our communities hire veterans as cops and firefighters, so that America is as strong as those who defend her."
"My message is simple. It's time to stop rewarding businesses that ship jobs overseas, and start rewarding companies that create jobs right here in America."
Let's never forget: Millions of Americans who work hard and play by the rules every day deserve a Government and a financial system that do the same. It's time to apply the same rules from top to bottom: No bailouts, no handouts, and no copouts. An America built to last insists on responsibility from everybody.

Yes, I do. You should never buy something that you do not have the means to pay for. Federal Loan programs led to people being made into slaves of debt. This is a personal pet peeve of mine. I grew up watching my family get brutalized by debt collectors and fall further and further into debt. Noone should live a life like that. I even fell down that rabbit hole for a while and have spent a decade clawing myself out of it. The federal guarantee programs just exacerbated the issue.
Student loans are even worse. better that the universities starve for students than we force millions of students into thousands of dollars into debt just for the CHANCE that they may get a decent job that MIGHT be able to pay off the loans eventually.
People say that we need high education to fill our tech jobs and be competative... I say we need companies to give a damn and actually try to teach people what they need to learn to do the jobs. The big corporations are taking the lazy way out and laying it all on the induvidual. If they want skilled labor, then the companies should go out and train people.edit on 1-25-2012 by rogerstigers because: (no reason given)

Actually its been in effect since its inception. For those who keep stating the left /right paradigm is a bunch of phooey,I would expect more people to realize this is where our Country is going.
Its funny how "obscure" is being thrown around nowadays,when all you have to see is the process being implemented.

You're missing the point were all the money in the world is fake paper created by dead men...
And
Oh ya, you paid my mortgage and my student loan payments
you can return to your short bus and drive back to your chin bowl now,

Exactly, you pay my mortgage all the time don't you... Such a victim you are...
Let em see the receipts proving that you have paid a dime for anything I own.
I am so happy that you are so concerned with my business and liabilities, very
small government of you!
I would love to meet you too, we would have us some real fun.

The market is being superficially propped up by bailouts. This doesn't speak to Obama's competence as a prez ... like at all.

Wow.
You do understand how the tax system works, right? Maybe I'm assuming you're smarter than you really are. It's sort of reached the point that...
well...
Lets say it's 500 years ago. You and I are native american indians. It's time for us to go out and pass on to manhood and kill a bufallo. We go off together. Two days later I return. Without you. And the village elders stop for a moment and just... nod.
Then I go hook up with your sister who looks like Angelina Jolie.
Why?
Because you're an idiot.

Why don't you go ask the site owner Skeptic how lobbying works and the need for it and while your at it ask him how many congressman hes pays for.
So you are denying that the lobby funds political careers?
what is your point, Neo?
