@Scottish Mama, why don't you find another job and quit posting stupid comments.
I don't remember asking a Penny for your thoughts.
You don't have to ask, we can see that you are a lazy old bag that has nothing better to do. I work in a bank, I'm off today but you are always off posting crap.
Are you talking about the person who takes my name and writes a bunch of nonsense?
I have to go, not wasting my time with you. Keep milking the system you lazy arrogant piece of sh!t!!!!!!!
I have never milked the system, What junk have you fust posted. Hit a nerve? Now the taxpayers have to clean up your bank buddies mess?
So don't read it. You are a negative crabby banker. Probably part of the reason we are in this mess. Giving loans out to people who trusted you to help them into a home. Don't like it because I asked the right questions?
I don't milk the system I pay for everything I have and my home has been paid for for years. Go to work and the grind to help some more people into poverty. Wouldn't stand up to help the people losing their homes? Spineless?
Everyone is at fault. We the people are at fault for buying houses we couldn't pay for. The banks are at fault for loaning the money to us, the people. The oil companies and commodities brokers are at fault for running up the price of oil and goods which caused the bubble. And businesses are at fault for cutting jobs when the country could least afford it. There is plenty of blame to go around banks are only a small part of it.
P.S. Just to let you know. Nearly all of the money borrowed under the Bush TARP has been paid back. Can't speak as to the Obama TARP.
@Jim-the TARP was all Former President Bushs' baby to the banks. The stimulus was President Obamas' Baby to the states. Totally different. Look it up on wiki.
Good thing for all those Mickey D jobs.
I would say though that the monster mega banks need to be abolished. We need to go back to a local community banking system and do away with credit scores and go to manual underwriting of loans.
Second that.
Oh scottish, pennys right about ya. do something with your boring life will ya!
Oh, Gary, I am right when the Tea Party and Republicans cannot even decifer that their own parties place in the American mess. President Obama was the stimulus. And my life isn't boring I have you and Penny to disagree with.
@tired, don't fret it, joey is a number one jacka ss. Your analysis is correct. As for global warming, the earth's temperature is constantly changing for many reasons. Tilt, distance to the sun on its orbital path, solar flares. The scientists that are pushing global warming now are the same ones that were pushing a new ice age thirty five years ago but you're probably too you to remember. Also there are scientists within NASA and the scientific community that do not believe we are going through global warming but the scientific community has pretty much kept them silenced. It is kind of like what the Catholic Church used to do to people they viewed as heretics. Don't have such a closed mind to different ideas.
@ScottishMama, get your facts straight before you post. Bush signed both a TARP bill and a stimulus bill in 2008. What Obama did was redirect a lot of money from TARP to the states it was called TARPII or lovingly referred to as TARP on steroids.
By the way before you post something that makes you look even less knowledgeable about the subject, google it you'll see I'm being straight with you.
You just want to show everyone you are smart, reality; an ass
