I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but...

[GentryDixon]

even I know this mortgage relief the Repugs are yammering about will not mean one thing if the homeowner does not have a job.

Am I missing something?

1. Ding! Ding! Ding!

2. All the bailouts are ridiculous for the same reasons

Why give money to banks and automakers? If people had jobs, and money, and a relatively sound future, they would be buying things. America has finally wised up... and stopped spending. The Fed needs to understand this.

3. Haven't missed a thing.

But their yammering has nothing to do with the poor schmuck who just lost his job. I don't know a thing about this current fracas, but I'll take a guess. It has everything to do with handing more free money to the megabanks and corps holding those mortgages?

With Repugs, follow the money and keep your crap detector's battery charged.

4. I believe you're sharp enough to carve a turkey.

5. there is a big first time buyer tax deduction......if you already have a home

what good does that do a person?

7. Thanks. I'll let my SO know that next Thanksgiving!

Edited for fast fingers.

6. No, you're on to something..

Email everybody in Congress and surprise them with your amazing assessment of the main problem of the economy. They probably won't believe you. They're still crying for more tax cuts when there's hardly anybody making enough to pay taxes.

8. I think you should get The Sharpest Knife in the Drawer Award for the day!

9. Nope, you're plenty sharp

the mortgage idea may have some merit, but not by itself.

10. On top of that they want to make it that you can't walk

away from it even if you lose your job. You owe the money for the rest of your life even if you can't pay. That's what the republicans want for the 4% mortgages.

So banks can bail out for billions and write off losses but the little people will have the debt for the rest of their life if they can't pay.
