		<description>We now know the first pass of this bill failed. That it will be passed in some form is inevitable. I recently lost my house to a long stint of unemployment. I failed on my end of the contract to make the payments I promised, and my bank called me on it. Even after bankruptcy protection, they wound up taking the house. 

It&#039;s called business, and and I was the one who failed in the contract. But it leaves me with some questions that the recent turmoil over a bail-out plan raised.

Why did the bank fight so hard to get my house back, when I was making my scheduled payments after bankruptcy filing was approved? I had a little log cabin out in the middle of nowhere valued now about about 80,000. 

I moved my family out of state, and within three months, a contractor employed by the bank broke into the house and disposed of all of ourt personal effects. I was still current on my payments.

They filed some arcane complaint to my insurance company, which made it impossible to insure the property, opening me up to severe liability in my abscence from the property.

I won a settlement on thie breaking and entering, and the loss of my effects, but the question still remains, why did they so vehemently pursue this low level property, even when I was current on my payments?

I&#039;ve been waiting for the other shoe to drop in this matter, and I think the bail-out bill was the key. The more bad properties they hold will become a windfall when Uncle-Sam bails them out.

Looking back at the last two years of hell my family has been put through, I think this crisis is a well orchestrated scam perpetrated at the top levels of government and the financiers that facilitiate them and their lifestyles.

I could be wrong, but the signs are all there. Tighten the restrictions on bankruptcy for the average citizen, deregulate the markets to where the profits can be skimmed off at the start of the contract, and there is no oversight. Lower the market rates so every Tom, Dick and Harry can get an overpriced mortgage, and you set the stage for record profits for the banking industry, and when the chickens come home to roost, the very de-regulators that set the stage call out that the sky is falling, and you must absorb the loss, because these venerable bankers are not only not to blame, but are hapless pawns in the irresponsible exuberance of the market.

Hold on to your wallets, and hide your cash, we are in for a bumpy ride.</description>

		<description>Save the free market by forcing those who have entered into finacial agreement to abide by that agreement? And what exeptions would be made,severe illness, death,legal bankruptsy ?Under the terms of most motage contracts,&#039;&#039;the bank takes the home if you do not repay the loan&#039;&#039;the contracts are self enforcing.

It sounds to me like Rockwell, values the free market and the wealth it brings&#039;&#039; to a few&#039;&#039;more than free human beings.Of course this is the nature of capitalism anyway! The capitalists have a hard time understanding that commercialisam has little to do with freedom.They have even a greater challenge understanding that human need is absolute,while market conditions are constantly changing,just as all fiat money systems are prone to change.As a result, the masses of humanity&#039;&#039;with the exeption of the wealthy&#039;&#039; are bound to the economics of uncertainy,trapped for a lifetime in a systyem that is not desighned to satisfy human need,but instead functions to assure that some perish in poverty while others scarcly get by,and yet a few waller in obscene wealth,even as children across the world starve to death,not because of natural scarcity,but because of the poverty created by capitalism,that system of ours that demands the commercialisation of life,and the blessings of nature that support life.

Will Rockwell and the other capitalist ever understand that life is a gift,thus if life is a gift,so to are the natural resources that sustain life? True freedom then,includes the right of all people to sustain both body and spirit with the blessings which are supplied by nature and the creator of nature.The capitalists claim that humanity has no such right to the blessings of creation,as even our living space upon this planet must be purchased! I have to ask you Rockwell,who created this planet? God,or the wealthy monarchs who initiated the land enclosures,which robbed the citezens of the lands which they previously held in common?

Here is my final point; If the capitalists would never have made a profit seeking enterprise out of humanities need for shelter,there would be no need for a bail out for anyone.Just imagine if we were to adopt an economic system that garunteed that each individual could have a home,proper clothing,food,living space,et.Imagine that instead of compitition,&#039;&#039;which ensures that someone loose&#039;&#039;that we develop economic polocies that insure finite resources will when possible, be available to all,not just the wealthy,or those who happen to be able to work harder.Finaly,imagine an economic system which respects the fact that this planet is not a market place,but our home,&#039;owned only by the creator&#039;&#039;  to be shared by all creation.</description>

		<description>Just because I&#039;m getting tired of the myth that Roosevelt was a &quot;friend&quot; of the fascists, I&#039;m curious, why, not only did the fascists HATE him, but why would they try to perform a COUP D&#039; ETAT against his New Deal government? 

Call him Satan or whatever, but he was NOT a friend of the fascist bankers who HATED HIM.

		<description>Ok Lew, great speech. So what is the SOLUTION?

If we don&#039;t bail them out, every bank will fail. Are you aware of this? 
If we bail them out, hyperinflation will wipe the country along with the rest of the world before the end of the year. 

WHAT IS THE SOLUTION LEW ROCKWELL???

We got in this mess because of yadda yadda yadda, BUT HOW DO WE FIX IT???</description>

		<description>Markets face major crash if US bail-out plan collapses
 
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financetopics/financialcrisis/3088241/Markets-face-major-crash-if-US-bail-out-plan-collapses.html



Be in no doubt, Britain too is in the centre of this storm - 27th September 08

http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/leading-articles/leading-article-be-in-no-doubt-britain-too-is-in-the-centre-of-this-storm-944089.html



Best advice:  GET  OUT  OF  DEBT  FAST  otherwise, and if the going gets really tough, there`s always the risk the wolves will be at the door wanting their repayments in kind.

Stock up on food, water &amp; medical.</description>
