You made remarks, that surely deserve defending, regardless of who challenges you to do so. <BR/><BR/>When did Cable TV become a necessity? <BR/>If someone's living expense is more than they make, someone is using somebody? Shouldn't they reduce their 'living' expenses? <BR/><BR/>The BASE of this crisis, are those who lied on their mortgage applications. Buyer, Real Estate Agent, Banker and the Mortgage institutions. <BR/>Do you believe in NO fault lending? Do you have any money left to lend?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893272060787897238.post-10073310855291775892008-09-30T14:00:00.000-04:002008-09-30T14:00:00.000-04:00All that I will say, is that if anon truly represe...All that I will say, is that if anon truly represents the voice of Mike Castle, then one needs no other reason, to prevent his return to office...<BR/><BR/>lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893272060787897238.post-5068793059403276132008-09-30T13:45:00.000-04:002008-09-30T13:45:00.000-04:00I listened to Spivak, when he first ran for office...I listened to Spivak, when he first ran for office. Nuts then, nuts now. Smart, clever, still nuts. Chris was his campaign Manager. Close enough? <BR/>Tackle some parsings? Lets tackle some exaggerations. Show me a list of Blue Chip stocks, valued at 10% or less. <BR/>#2 If your minimum living expenses are more than you make, you do not need a water heater. <BR/>#3 And who says the bank should give you credit indefinitely. The only handout that is indefinite, is WIC, section 8, Baby's having Baby's with no daddy''s, and otherwise relying on 100% Government subsistence for Generations. <BR/>#4 Your next check has to cover 'CABLE'. WTF? UR Nuts.<BR/>#5 Break out the violins, Kavips says that "on September 29, 2008, the House voted to kick in their teeth even harder..." Is that a quote out of the Congressional record? Sounds more like a Quote from the Pulpit of Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Or is that out of Obama's book?<BR/>Spivak, none of this is just for fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893272060787897238.post-70051532629553836152008-09-30T03:44:00.000-04:002008-09-30T03:44:00.000-04:00Just for fun, I want to tackle some of your parsin...Just for fun, I want to tackle some of your parsings...<BR/><BR/>Most of America's small businesses are dependent on loans to keep afloat... Whether or not your business has collateral (all businesses have collateral) if all banks still says "no" you cannot do business. We are not talking about profits, we are talking about staying in business... When you go out shopping with your family, a part of everything you pay, is going to that business's interest costs....<BR/><BR/>On to the water heater...what if your minimum living expenses were more than you made? Before you put emergencies on a credit card.. Your bank has stopped that now... You have less than a hundred dollars and a week to go... Your next check was to cover your mortgage, cable, and electricity.. What do you do now?<BR/><BR/>As a retiree, what if your secure assets, were gone as well? Blue chips, solid as America..selling less than 10% of their value... As a retiree, you are no super financial wizard... You thought you were set for old age....<BR/><BR/>Assume you had the cheapest house on the market? But where you once were making much more and had extra, now you have to use your tax check to catch up... Your employer just cut your hours 50%.. Your credit was excellent, and now your house goes to a sheriff's sale...<BR/><BR/>Next, what if your bank was the fourth largest in the nation.. surely if little banks started failing, you would look and see about moving some of your assets...but you had no clue it was in bad shape... Hopefully someday you can work through the red tape to get your insured deposit you have coming to you...<BR/><BR/>Ok, so you get the point... It seems that those who are rather insulated most likely because of their sufficient salary, seem to feel like "look, these guys got what they deserved..." <BR/><BR/>There are a lot of people who played by the rules and are now hurt, 1) because others did not play by the rules, and 2) because on September 29, 2008, the House voted to kick in their teeth even harder...<BR/><BR/>I guess we will have to wait for the economic data to determine how many of those being hurt are assholes, and how many got hit without warning or cause of their own...<BR/><BR/>For if the former holds true, the plan of not following through with the bailout, hurts only those who overextended themselves... <BR/><BR/>But if the latter holds true, then your parents, family, friends and neighbors, will suffer horribly...<BR/>and this bailout, which had the potential to prevent much of their pain, will not come to pass....I mean dying from hunger... I wonder what that's like...I can't even imagine it...<BR/><BR/>So do you protect the weak and let the strong slide, or do you punish the strong who will suffer but certainly survive, and kill off all the weak in the process...?<BR/><BR/>I don't know how morality plays out with Libertarians, (lol) but whatever classification be it that I am..... I think the first option of the two is the better, provided that one is given only these two options among from which to choose.... <BR/><BR/>(Oh, and I didn't realize I sounded desperate at all... funny.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
