What else can they do or say? They know they have lost control. More precisely, they know full well that material (financial) security in the US now lies within foreign hands. Why? Because expenditures in America, from that of the poorest person unto that of the wealthiest entity of persons, is a charge, or is made on “credit” granted by other supply nations, in some fashion or other. Dwindling, or terminated, productivity at home means that America cannot pay her bills. Her money (“promise” to pay value for value) is no good. A so-called “bailout” at home, therefore, is only as good as the money is abroad. Put another way, if your money does not represent value for value to supply nations, then they don’t want your money any more because they cannot spend it elsewhere. If they don’t want your money, then they cut off supplying you with goods and services, sooner or later. This phenomenon is not just “made” in the US. Money everywhere is failing to fairly represent “valuation”. Add in a dose of other “complex” factors to make the elixir “toxic”. Yes, the hoopla bailout is all theatre. It is grandstanding.

be discounted … make the lenders discount the notes they hold on existing loans made in the last 4 years by 25% & lower instrest rates to between 4 & 5 % fixed… it is costing them more then that to forclose & resell the properties…. not counting what they are lossing in value of their stock / companies….. this will keep most people in their homes if not all of them….no added subjects / christmass tree hanging
on the bill…. there is a old rule called KISS ; keep it simple/stupid….
maybe if this was fowarded to the people in congress ; both sides of both houses ; they might get it together ….
they need to do something ; just don't do it for free …
give main street something also…………………………….
