1980s?
Mortgage backed securities were the cause of the failure of many savings & loans across the country in the 1980s. Billions of dollars of deposits were lost, which lead to a government bailout and a recession.
Today, we are facing exactly the same scenario only on a much greater scale. Hundreds of billions of $ will be lost worldwide in this latest mortgage scam. The only difference is these loses will not come from federally insured deposits. The result, however, will be the same. Investment capital will dry up and a robust economy will stall.
Why are we facing this problem again? Did we not learn anything the first time around?

My friend has the same problem as the rest of us, money. His needs are far worse than mine. I have a wife with a job. He's alone and scared. He got a letter from the state denying his request for assisatnce until he satisfies some red tape needs of theirs, which could take months. In the meantime, rents due 1-1-2008, and some food would be nice. I sent him toward the legal aid society, which he was unaware of. He's not a lazy person. He's 55 and has a BS in chemical engineering. He's been turned down for employment by 100 companies, mainly because of that double nickel.

He's in Ohio. What other things can he do?

And most everybody wants their 15 minutes of fame . Youtube , Facebook, Myspace, Ipods, Blackberries, Big House, Property, Showy Car, Abundant Jewelry, Eyebrow Rings, Nose Rings, Tongue Posts, More Lawsuits Than Ever, Tire Rims That Cost Equal To A Semester At A Community College, Biggest TV, Boob Jobs, That Guy Doesn't Have What We Have So More Social Programs, Facial Injections To Look Like Someone We're Not, ME ME ME, BLING BLING BLING........ . . .. Sigh. . . .. . . . .

Let Me Ask You Something Else --- When's The Last Time You Ever Read "The Gift Of The Magi" ? Hmmmmmm ?? Have You EVER Read It ? The Author Is O Henry, and it's a short story that tells of the love of a poor couple who each sell the only thing they have in order to buy a Christmas present for the other . I won't give away the whole story but in the end they discover that 'material things' mean NOTHING , and it's really only their LOVE that really counts .

So . . . How Have We Become So Materialistic ?

It seems like everyone back him stronger till you saw him with Oprah this weekend? Its like you think its some black power conspiracy. Oprah position is merely there for support. She's not running for any elected office?

Besides, look at the polls right now -- not that they matter -- but He's the only democrat leading ALL GOP right now .. When we were suppossed to have this election LOCKED, you still have Hillary whose went up on negative ratings to 54%, went down in the polls (yes, even nationally) which has caused her to continue going negative, and in the polls she's loosing to McCAIN and soon to be Hucklebee.

BIGGER QUESTION: If your a Dem, wouldnt you want a DEM who could win the election --- Forget all the speal youve heard andf the hopla... Who is our best chance of getting a DEM in the white house?

Do we have to wait until 6 million to call it a holocaust? Pretty much a million dead so far. They weren't all killed by Al Qaeda.

If so, don't you think that is for the wrong reason? Remember, Abraham Lincoln (a white man) did more for the blacks than any other president.

Does his fame play a part of the sentence? Some people say that an average person of the street would not have been judged so harshly for dog fighting. However, there are other charges against him ..... lying .... drugs .... etc.
