Over the better part of the past year, a great debate has taken place in Washington and across America, about how to reform our health care system to provide security for people with insurance, coverage for those without insurance, and lower costs for everyone. From the halls of Congress to the homes of ordinary Americans, this debate has helped us to forge consensus and find common ground. Thatâ??s a good thing. Thatâ??s what America is all about.
Now, as the debate draws to a close, we can point to a broad and growing coalition of doctors and nurses, workers and businesses, hospitals and even drug companies â?? folks who represent different parties and perspectives, including leading Democrats and many leading Republicans â?? who recognize the urgency of action. Just this week, the Senate Finance Committee approved a reform proposal that has both Democratic and Republican support. For the first time ever, all five committees in Congress responsible for health reform have passed a version of legislation. As I …

The President explains his plan to address one of the major causes of the current economic crisis — the breakdown of oversight leading to widespread abuses in the financial world. The new Consumer Financial Protection Agency will have the sole job of looking out for the financial interests of ordinary Americans by banning unfair practices and enforcing the rules. This is a cornerstone in Americaâ??s new economic foundation.

So this crisis we find ourselves in has been a long time in coming, and some Democrats and Republicans should be held accountable. Those who caused this crisis by cooking fannie’s and freddie’s books should be investigated. Then they should go to jail.
“The root cause of the problems we face can basically be summarized in three words greed, leverage, and fear. Greedy Wall Street people plus greedy mortgage lenders, homeowners, speculators, and even politicians helped spark an unsustainable rise in home prices. This rise was fueled by extremely high leverage (i.e., using lots of borrowed money.) When housing prices started dropping, the domino effect of leverage came back to haunt the system and financial institutions had to take massive write-downs and seek outside capital. Fear took over as the problems kept piling on top of each other and people began to panic. Thats an oversimplification of what has happened, but it describes, at a high level, how we got to where we are now.” quote taken from N.Y., wealth management advisor.
A bailout now has to happen so that Main Street won’t be pejoratively effected by Wall Street’s response to this mess.
The problem with Fannie and Freddie is they privatized the profit, but socialized the risk. So the tax payer as usual, will hold the bag of crap for a problem the government put us into in the first place. And now, they will have even more control of your money than ever before.
When the dotcom bubble burst was there a bailout for Wallstreet? I know this is different, it’s the banking system.
I, SandieBlack, can’t stand the politicking bullcrap. This nursery slime is meant to poke a bit of fun at all, but especially the media who chose to only blame the administration of the last 8 years. Of course they have some blame, but so do a load of other fools.
Cheers to those who warned of this impending doom, like McCain in ‘04.

Daniel Taylor?Old Thinker News?February 3, 2009
As the world moves further into economic chaos, eugenics, an old idea cloaked under modern terminology, is making a comeback. During these times it is easy to see how a resurgence and re-packaging of eugenics could come about. Do you have more than two children? Your carbon footprint has been deemed unacceptable. Your economic burden on society cannot be tolerated during unprecedented economic times. The growing population of elderly individuals will be an incredible burden on a faltering system, we are told. Some governmental think tanks see younger generations pursuing euthanasia policies as an option.
Eugenics “went underground” after WWII, but continued under the guise of population control and environmentalism, proceeding partly with the aid of Rockefeller family wealth. Rather than focus on “quality control” the emphasis was on “quantity control”. One of the first books to tie these ideas together post-WWII, titled Our Plundered Planet, was written by Fairfield Osborn, who in 1921 served as the President of the Second International Congress of Eugenics in New York.

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, Rahm’s brother, tapped for White House health care policy advisor spot
Chicago Sun Times 2009
WASHINGTON–While the Obama White House is searching for a replacement for health czar Tom Daschle, policy work on health care reform–a priority for the administration–Is ongoing with one key advisor especially well connected.
The brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Dr. Ezekiel J. Emanuel, a noted bioethicist, is advising the Obama administration on health care reform.
Dr. Emanuel is the Chair of the Department of Bioethics at The Clinical Center of the National Institutes of Health and a breast oncologist.
Dr. Emanuel is a special advisor to the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget for health policy. He told me he is “working on (the) health care reform effort.” He is “detailed” to the OMB spot and is still officially an employee of the NIH.
Until last August, Dr. Emanuel was commuting between his Chicago home in West Rogers Park and Washington. He moved to Washington last August after his youngest daughter graduated from Northside College Prep at Bryn Mawr and Kedzie.
One of three wildly successful Emanuel brothers (Ari is a Hollywood superagent) Dr. Emanuel also advised the Clinton White House on health care issues. He is a graduate of Amherst College, receiving his masters of science from Oxford University in Biochemistry. His M.D. is from Harvard Medical School. He holds a Ph.D. in political philosophy from Harvard University. In addition, in 1987-88, he was a fellow in the Program in Ethics and the Professions at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.
According to his NIH bio, Dr. Emanuel is “widely published on the ethics of clinical research, advance care directives, end-of-life issues, euthanasia, the ethics of managed care, and the physician-patient relationship, Dr. Emanuel’s articles have appeared in The New England Journal of Medicine, Lancet, Journal of American Medical ociation, and many other medical and ethics journals. His book, The Ends of Human Life, has been widely praised and received the Rosenhaupt Memorial Book Award by the Woodrow Wilson Foundation.
“Dr. Emanuel served on the ethics section of former President Clinton’s Health Task Force, the National Bioethics Advisory Commission, and the International Advisory Board on Bioethics of the Pan American Health Organization. He has been a visiting professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, UCLA, and Brin Professor at Johns Hopkins Medical School.”
