MAC Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 We better start throwing them ALL out. The political system has become so corrupt all over the country that I think it's necessary that the American people to clean it up--and as quickly as possible. The first task is to not vote for incumbents and preferably vote for any candidate that is NOT a Republican or Democrat. The two party system has to go! We need to support a third, forth, and even fifth party, such as the Libertarian and/or Constitutional party. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH with these retarded Republican and Democrat party REJECTS.

Do you know a political system which is not corrupt? Any government (democratically elected, of course) in capitalist country is for corporations. I'm talking about the policies that have been enacted and are now under consideration including health care. The health care legislation is about government takeover and will cost all of us while not lowering health care costs. The energy tax bill that passed is also about government takeover and is not going to create jobs. Rather, it's simply going to cost the American people by increasing energy costs. While government in general has it's corrupt parts whether it be bribes or special interest, the recent spate of legislation is some of the most dangerous since the inception of the nation. For the first time I am truly concerned that the United States is heading down a path towards disaster. I think people better wake up and not simply brush off what Congress is doing. These politicians are incompetent and very dangerous people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenJ Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 For the first time I am truly concerned that the United States is heading down a path towards disaster. I think people better wake up and not simply brush off what Congress is doing. These politicians are incompetent and very dangerous people. I am beyond "concerned." I am frightened and scared. After the "Great Depression," federal legislators enacted the Glass-Steagle Act to make certain that banks would never again be able to be also investment/insurance houses. REPEAT: Glass-Steagle was enacted AFTER the Great Depression to make certain such a thing would NEVER happen again. Citibank bought Travelers in clear violation of the Glass-Steagle Act. It admitted an OOPS! and said it would make things right. Shortly, Congress was showered with over $160 million in lobby dollars. You can guess where most of those dollars came from. Glass-Steagle was repealed. Our current crisis, in no small part, is a result of that. We have the best legislature money can buy. You should make your decisions with that thought in mind. Regards, Warren There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodybyFisher Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I found this posting that I found very interesting here see, toritto http://www.tnr.com/talkback.html?id=686e3d...ac-d067fe28ed8e Once upon a time (maybe 25-30) years ago there were lots of strong, well capitalized commercial banks. They were highly regulated and rarely failed. They had low leverage (by today's standards) of maybe 9 or 10X. A well performing bank earned 1%+ on total assets and 10%+ on equity. They loaned out perhaps 80% of their deposit base to local or regional customers. They rarely funded themselves with "hot" money. They paid solid if uninspiring dividends to the little old ladies and local businessmen who owned their stock. There were thousands of these banks from the largest cities to the most rural area. They operated in virtually protected franchises as hostile take-over, or virtually any take-over for that matter that didn't involve a failing bank was not an option. Banking regulators simply wouldn't allow it. Branching was severely restricted by state statues, protecting smaller banks from intense competition from major metropolitan area banks. There was plenty of credit available and plenty of banks from which to choose. Banks developed their own specialities in order to effectively compete. Bank of Boston had vast trading contacts in Latin America. Irving Trust was the largest commercial factor in America. Morgan Guaranty was the premier corporate bank. Citi was NYC's largest retail bank. Regional banks dominated their geographic areas as branching restrictions kept others away. North Carolina allowed state-wide banking which nurtured NCNB, First Union and Wachovia. The largest commercial bank failure during that period was Continental Illinois of Chicago. Illinois was a "unit" bank state - no branches were allowed. Continental Illinois was housed in one building in downtown Chicago. As a result of the Illinois branch restrictions, Continental had a relatively small retail deposit base. It funded itself each day in the overnight markets. It was a risky strategy. When it ran into credit difficulties its sources of funding dried up. It was seized by the FDIC and liquidated. The last real estate crisis brought down a few banks - Republic of Dallas, Texas Commerce - but nothing that would threaten the stability of the banking system as a whole. The system worked fine even if it could be criticized as dowdy. Banking was not the most exciting profession to be in. Then came deregulation. Branching and nation-wide banking came into existence. With it came the hostile take-over. Glass-Steagle was revoked. Suddenly there was money to be made in bank stocks.. It all began when Bank of New York put a take-over offer in front of the Board of Irving Trust. Irving rejected th offer. BONY sweetened it. It was rejected again. Irving was counting of the Fed and regulators to do what they had always done - reject hostile takeovers. But the wind of change was in the air. Wall Street smelled defeat for Irving. After battling BONY for a year Irving lost in court and the Regulators gave approval. The rout was on. Chairman Rice of Irving Trust caved the day after losing in Court and Irving was acquired. Rice immediately retired. Thus was set in motion the creation of the banking system we have today. Plenty of money was made by Wall Street, bank stockholders and insiders holding shares and options, including me. The major regional banks were acquired and disappeared along with thousands of jobs. "Growth, growth, growth!" was the mantra. "Marketing" rather than credit worthiness became the norm as loans were marketed as if selling soap. Credit insurance from AIG made it possible to shovel billions of dollars into mortgage assets without worrying about the loans themselves - after all, they were insured by AIG and carried a Moody's/S & P investment grade ratings. Trading rooms expanded from foreign exchange and interest rate swaps to betting on credit derivatives - mark to market transactions which today can't be valued and are off balance sheet. Within all of the major banks in trouble today there were those who had serious doubts about how business was being conducted. "Nay-sayers". "Old fashioned". "Not up to date". They were ignored. There was no money in their Cassandra prognostications; not for "business development officers", executive management or shareholders. What was the matter with the old system? Not much. Deregulation, the revocation of Glass-Steagle and the cowboy mentality of growth brought us to where we are. Unfortunately, the banking system somehow needs to be rescued. It is more than the system deserves Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodybyFisher Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Gotta love it, we have a president that does not support law enforcement, knee jerks without all of the facts and says the police acted stupidly and overreacted and he Exacerbates Racial Divide and he doesn't understand the concept of INNOCENT until proven GUILTY.

And it only took him six months in office to lay the race card on the table. You can bet his 'handlers' are working non-stop 25 hour days to repair this damage. And they spend another 5 hours per day trying to anticipate the fallout from the Health Care Reform proposals. Reform indeed. However, I suspect there are those in the opposition that will refresh the public memory in time for the 2000 election cycle. Destroy his congressional majority and the office of this President becomes a repeat of the second term of Clinton. Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE !

Ranger Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 His approval rating has already dropped below 50%............. AND IT'S ONLY BEEN SIX MONTHS. I am not surprised by the race card. I AM surprised that he showed it. I am also surprised that he commented on such a local level incident that he had no details on. His true colors are beginning to show.
