They were focusing in on article 8 of Paulson's bailout bill. He's basically trying to coronate himself Grand Moff Tarkin, making the bill, and himself immune to legal or congressional action after the fact. It was jokingly suggested that someone slipped it in as a poison pill to make Congress take pause. I admit it, I bought the panic this time (though I didn't buy it when the authorization to use force in Iraq was shoved down our throats). They're crafty little slimeballs, but I thank the folks at S,N! (and the unflappable Keith O.) for leveling me out. That and the Xanax. Saw Krugman on Countdown last night.

You know what the "pitchforks and torches" thing refers to, right? Anyway, fiddling with the marginal tax rates is such an obvious thing at this point. Both are already on Obama's agenda. While good ideas, they are irrelevant to the immediate question of the impending financial collapse and what to do about it. The banks didn't collapse because the marginal tax rates were too low. Raising them (maybe) for tax year 2009 won't help now. It's kind of like pointing out that tires need to be properly inflated and periodically replaced. This is entirely true and you're absolutely right. But at the moment, some asshole has set the car on fire, so your tip isn't especially helpful.

Mine appears to already oppose it. That's a relief- Texas politics drive me up the wall most of the time. “Taxpayers want, need and deserve answers and accountability. So far, I’m seeing neither when it comes to the latest proposed Wall Street bailout. I understand it’s a moving target and nothing is final but what I am hearing gives me great cause for concern. “Believe it or not, I agree with some of the Democrats on a few things. For starters, people on Wall Street have no business receiving enormous severance packages, tremendous bonuses, and gigantic compensation deals paid for by the U.S. taxpayer. I also don’t think that the Secretary of the Treasury should have the authority to spend $700 billion with zero oversight. We don’t even know who will be the Treasury Secretary come next January. “I don’t know what the best answer will be. I am not an economist. But I am getting sick and tired of bailout after bailout. The taxpayers deserve better. The latest and greatest bailout demands deliberation and thoughtfulness, not speed and silence.” Well well. Mine appears to already oppose it.

On most loans, or at least all loans I've ever heard of, whatever you may monthly first goes to pay the interest and the remainder pays the principle. There are no separate payments for interest. Your case makes no sense at all, particularly the fact that the loan was for $38,000 - and they take your frickin' house? You need a lawyer. Good grief, Paul Fraser, why didn’t you consult a lawyer?
