Lawmakers Reach Accord on Huge Financial Rescue
Lori Montgomery and Paul Kane
Washington Post
Sunday, Sept 28, 2008
Congressional leaders and the Bush administration this morning said they had struck an accord to insert the government deeply into the nation’s financial markets, agreeing to spend up to $700 billion to relieve Wall Street of troubled assets backed by faltering home mortgages.
House and Senate negotiators from both parties emerged with Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. at 12:30 a.m. from a marathon session in the Capitol to announce that they had reached a tentative agreement on a proposal to give Paulson broad authority to organize one of the biggest government interventions in the private sector since the Great Depression.
Full details of the plan were not immediately available. Lawmakers said their staffs would be working through the night to assemble the package and post it on the Internet.

“We’ve made great progress, but we have to commit it to paper before we can formally agree,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who has pledged to make the plan available to the public for at least 24 hours before the House votes on it. A vote could come as early as tomorrow in the House, with the Senate expected to follow soon after.
“We’ve been working on this a long time. We’ve still got more to do to finalize it, but I think we’re there,” Paulson said. “So far, so good.”
Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Ohio), who represented House Republicans, the group that had raised the most serious objections to the plan, said he was pleased with the progress made but that he had to take the proposal back to his caucus before committing his support for it. “I look forward to what we’re going to see on paper and presenting these ideas to my colleagues and getting their reaction,” Blunt said.

CANADA’S NATIONAL PAPER
U.S. ‘will lose status’ on world stage
The world is witnessing nothing less than the decline of an empire as the United States loses its position as the globe’s pre-eminent financial “superpower,” according to finance minister from the Group of Seven most-industrialized countries.
In a blistering attack on Washington yesterday, the German Finance Minister branded the U. S. government “irresponsible,” and blamed it for worsening the crisis that has engulfed the international banking system by thwarting efforts of G7 countries to enact tighter regulation.
“The world will never be the same again,” Germany’s Peer Steinbruck said.
“The U. S. will lose its status as the superpower of the world financial system,” the Finance Minister said.
The extraordinary attack on the U. S. financial model was a stinging rejection of a personal appeal from Hank Paulson for his fellow G7 ministers to stand behind him as U. S. Treasury Secretary during a historic turning point. The response of ministers from Canada and other G7 ministries “has been very disappointing to Mr. Paulson, who was hoping for something more robust,” said Gary Hufbauer, a former U. S. Treasury official.
Jim Flaherty, the Canadian Finance Minister, was offered the opportunity during an editorial board meeting with the National Post this week to differentiate himself from other G7 ministers who have been critical or offered only tepid support to the U. S. Treasury Secretary. But Mr. Flaherty, who is in the midst of a general election, declined, pointing to a joint statement by ministers.
“All of the G7 finance ministers have agreed to support individually and collectively in their own countries these steps being taken by the U. S. and to take necessary similar actions in their own jurisdictions if necessary. It is not necessary in Canada,” he said.
While there was general disappointment in Washington with the response of foreign governments, the former Treasury official said European leaders appeared to be the most hostile. The German Minister said that at key moments in the crisis, Washington had defended ” laissez-faire capitalism; the notion that markets should be as free as possible from regulation. These arguments were wrong and dangerous.”
“This largely under-regulated system is collapsing today,” said Mr. Steinbruck, predicting the emergence of regional financial centres in Asia and Europe.
Mr. Hufbauer said the rift between G7 ministries would likely have ramifications for international economic relations for years to come.

Before the internet was widespread and accessible the government was really our only source of information. You will say “Well you pick these idiots to run your country!” this is not true. We are only presented with a handful of idiots to choose from. Wings of the same bird if you will. And then the mainstream media pretty much tells the public which to chose. My only problem with the American people is their lack of civil unrest and limitted protest. I do believe this is due to fear. Oct 1 the US Army ( which I served in) will be patrolling the streets of America. This is illegal and terrifying. The only two things in the world I fear are burnt toast and the U.S. Army infantry.

I think Americans are largely to blame for their ignorance and complicity with the Bush Administration. They’re fat, spoiled, ignorant, in debt and could care less the suffering their government heaps on innocent people around the world. They wanted a kick a war after 9/11 and didn’t care who actually did it to them, they wanted immediate revenge. America is a sick wasted cult personality culture. It’s best days are long gone.
They’re out of touch with reality going to their expensive baseball games, watching endless tv shows and could care less the hell on earth their government perpetuates with its evil policies. Therefore I disagree with this site that Americans aren’t responsible for their corrupt government. They most certainly are! They must take responsibility and stop blaming the govt for their problems. There can be no revolution if people don’t rise up and defeat the evil in their government they ARE responsible for allowing.
Americans deserve everything they get for allowing their government to be overrun by extremely evil criminal elements, wanting a false war for revenge, and for enjoying the good life on the backs of the rest the third world. Ripe for a fall from bad karma I’d say.

@11 jay
Working 70 hours a day might be something that Americans are proud of, but in Holland it would be seen as a sign of weakness. Because it shows a lack of bravery to fight for your rights and fair working conditions. Of course the bankers and lying politicians want nothing better then slaves that work as long as possible, since that means greater profits. Don’t be a slave ! America thinks it is ahead, but actually we in Europe believe that America is way behind in terms of worker rights: little to no protection from firing by company bosses, no minimum wage to speak of right ? not been able to secure decent working hours maximum, and so on, very dramatic health insurance situation, hardly any or no worker power, poor worker organization, a politics that is way over to the what we call “right” (which in Holland means the people who favor wealth disparity, exploitation and so on). From our perspective the USA has been leading the way down in the west, and it has been the shining example for our own lying politicians and bankers for many decades.
On the other hand it is possible that we got more decent conditions here because the elites were afraid we would go to the sovjet union side, a danger greater here then in the USA (danger to them I mean). In that context our rights are not from our own making. But I think that does not cover it, take a look at revolutionary history in Europe. We are incomparably more rebellious to our exploitive elites then the USA public has been over the last centuries IMHO. It sometimes seems as if the USA still think we got monarchy and christion opression here, because that`s what we had when the first Americans left toward the west.
But regardless of the causes for a difference USA/W.Europe: poor working conditions are something to fight against, which is the point. No matter what the reasons for the differences, you should all start today by demanding a mandatory 40 or even 36 hour working week, and a decent minimum hourly wage. Compared with 200 years ago we are swimming in labor saving machines. But the proceeds won`t reach you until you start striking for them in large majority. Get people elected who support the right to strike and so on. Unless you fight for the profit from your own hand, the robber bankers won’t give it to you. Actually is some of them did that would put them out of business quickly (which is the reason you should even nationalize investment banking.)
We are on a downward slide here as our rights are concerned by the way. Europe also has to fight for its labor rights again, increase that pressure. Our leaders are always trying to copy the American mode of exploitation, and they are making progress with that.
Americans are often told they are the best place in the world, but you are usually comparing yourselves only with the worst in the world like vicious dictatorships, and not with the better places that exist. It is a trick by the politicians to make Americans believe they are doing great relatively, and concequently have no business asking for more. Why does your dad work 70 hours, while rich kids don’t work at all, while the people who are in banking get the profit of such businesses without working ? America needs to get some sense of balance: doing nothing is bad, but doing nothing but working (like 70 hours) is also bad. If you don’t fight for a better life, who will do it for you: chances are it will get progressively worse until you do rise up and demand your fair wage (which by the way is a law in the Torah, you are actually breaking Torah law by working too much and getting too little).
Start striking and repel strike breakers with whatever it takes. Striking has a great history of working, but it must be embedded in a wider understanding that there must be a decent life in society for everyone. If you don`t have that the government/bankers will be able to break strikes with army and police and defeat you.

@ Jay,
you are a ‘wage slave’
you answer to your master,
you do your master’s work
your master tells you to work 70 hours, you do
wage slave you all are
as Jos states, you extensive hours are a sign of weakness, not strength.
I work 30 hours a week which is considered full time hours at my job
I do not work overtime, it is not required
I own a house, summer home, car, truck, boat, support family of 6 people.
I have full health care, dental, pension, can retire at age 53 at 70 percent salary, indexed to inflation for life. benefits continue in retirement.
you are a wage slave at 70 hours a week, where is time for your family ?
i work 4 days a week, 16 a month
i get 14 days off a month
who is the stupid one here Jay ?
You or me?
Like Jos states, you did not fight for your rights, you get what you deserve, lazy americans
your forces have bases in 150 countries, killing civilians, you torture, rape, abort, in the name of your country
you are not the world’s police force
you live under a dictatorship and do not realize it
you have given up your freedoms
facts -
even your library card sends usage info to the CIA
your phonelines are all tapped into
your country and forces are the most heavily anti-psychotic medicated people ever
you take drugs to wake up, to sleep, to kill in the name of america
is that freedom ?
you are all mindless sheep
well slaughter time is here
your meat is not fit for human consumption
planet earth will let you rot
not one tear will be shed
your flesh will fertilize that land
then life will spring forth again
peaceful intelligent life
not american whores

Such a remark can only come from an ignoramus who hasn’t the faintest idea about the rest of the world.
You are living in a cage, yet say that you’re free.
You are pretending to live in the greatest economy and richest country, yet you you are broke.
You pretend to be living in the greatest democracy, but your vote doesn’t count.
You pretend to care for the world, but bring only wars, deceit and division.
I could go on and on. The American nonsense about its ‘exceptionalism’ is the same self-serving bullshit as the Germans calling themselves ubermensch.
jos boersema Says:
As long as they`re not dead there is hope for them. In Europe we also had to fight against the believe that dictatorship is actually a good thing. Go back in time further, according to the Torah people were sacrificing their children for real for their slave masters (we know from middle american culture that such insanities can exist), and it was almost impossible to make them stop with that. Given that, humankind has had to come from a long long way down in hell, on that scale the Americans are not at rock bottom by a long shot.
70 hours a week is punishment already. We should be positive to them because otherwise we aren`t helping much with the cause. At 70 hours a week you don`t have a lot of energy left to think and so on. Better be angry with the lying politicians and robber barrons then the slaves, the slaves usually actually want the right thing, even if they don`t really know how to get it or that they should fight for it.
White Dude Says:
As an American, I’m not afraid to admit that the ‘bashers’ in this thread are raising valid points. I do not feel offended about what they are saying in any way, shape, or form.
They are absolutely right! Not all, but most of the fuckin’ people in this country give more of a shit about the godamn NFL and NBA than any other set of initials that is stealing this country away from us.
I can’t tell you how many times I’m told to shut up or reminded of my negativity when I try to point out how the people here have been getting fucked…and continue to get fucked. If I back them against the wall with valid points, there is usually a remark that implies I go out and do something about it myself. Yet these fucking idiots will sit in a bar and scream at a TV that the ref is fucking their team….a concept that I find difficult to understand.
What the hell is it with the people in this country? You will fight me tooth and nail when I bash our predatory system. You say I’m paranoid, nuts, think too much about something that I can’t do anything about. Then tell me, what the fuck do you hope to accomplish as you bark out obscenities to a referee on a TV? What the fuck has been accomplished when your stupid team wins? What is that shit all about?
If you put 1/10th of the effort you put into your godamn sports teams, into something more meaningful to your own existence, you might actually be able to go see a game in person so the stupid fuckin’ ref can at least HEAR you.
Living here is like living in a fuckin’ insane asylum. Sorry people of this forum. These so-called bashers are right on the money about us. Somebody’s got to rattle our cage.
# 19 is 1000 % correct…..the amerikan sheeple are in a drunken stupor heading over the cliff and into oblivion…

Andy Says:
For those of us who have taken the blue pill, and unplugged from the Matrix the phrase, “don’t shoot the messenger” has become a very real thing.
The “race” watching, Republican voting, fat ass, nigger hating, goddamned ignoramus’s that inhabit my neck of the woods, that are only slightly more annoying than the tree hugging, granola eating, gun grabbing, hands off my body, baby killing, hairy armpit lesbians that do too, DO NOT want to hear the truth!!!!!!!! They don’t want it.
They want bread and circuses, and until they shut goddamn game down, they want do shit.
But when the day comes that the game can’t be played, and it may be sooner than you think, there will be riots in the street. That loser at the bar that screams about the ref will go friggin Columbine. And when that happens, it is us who need to watch out.
He want go after the Man, the Saxe Coburg Gotha’s, the banker, whoever…. nononononono
It’ll be UUUUUUUU

That’s how that works.
I’ve given out a lot of blue pills over the years, but I am now
done. Not that I have given up, but this is it. This ain’t Y2K, this ain’t Waco, this ain’t even 911, this is the SHOW, this is for keeps, and I’m done.
Bansidh Says:
#19 I get much the same reaction from people. The reason people get angry when one tries to tell them what is going on is fear. If we can’t admit what we are doing wrong, we will never be able to fix it. There is a lot to fix here, but look at what they are doing in some South American countries. Bolivia, Venezuela for a couple are trying to clean up an appalling mess, caused mainly by us and are doing fairly well so far. We can do it too, but first we need to know what is really going on here.
White Dude Says:
There is a BIG problem in this country. Besides the stupid sports, most of the SHIT that comes out of peoples mouths is either meaningless or some garbled barbed comments intended to hurt one of their fellow inmates. We don’t talk about a damn thing. It’s cute and chic to insult each other. We look UP to Howard Stern and DOWN to Alex Jones. We HAVE been dumbed down. We HAVE fallen for a scheme that was designed to pit us against each other. We HAVE learned by the example of our corrupt leadership and have gotten as greedy as they are. They have played us for the fools that we are today.
Why don’t we channel some of that energy we use to fight over a parking spot, or when we risk our life and limb to not let someone cut in front of us, or when we piss and moan about cigarette smoke, towards the perps that set this civil war into motion. Yes folks, we are in a civil war. We aren’t assembling in battle fields and marching towards each other. But we are infighting and playing right into the hands of the social engineers. This “my city is better than your city” shit has got to stop.
I’m not claiming to be better than anyone else. I have been only half awake myself since the 70’s. But after 911, something happened. It was just too godamn blatently obvious what the hell was going on. I try to do my part and enlighten people. I just wish it was as obvious to the freakin’ walking dead in this God forsaken place.
I re-iterate that these guys in here (wherever they are from), are absolutely right about how they perceive the people of this country. What the hell is it going to take? There is a gov’t at this very moment ‘debating’ how they are going to drive the final nail into the coffin of the US and it’s founding principles. And we’re still trying to figure out ways to rip each other a new asshole.
Yes, the sense of family, country, mutual respect, and self worth has been stripped from our system….and we didn’t ask for that to happen. But for God’s sake people, if someone is pointing out that we need to hanker down and turn that around, then fucking listen. Because I don’t know what you think, but I’m sick of being dragged down to the level of the fucking assholes running this show. We ARE better than that.
the hun Says:
The American people have become “sheeple” plain and simple. They keep looking to their political system and it’s leaders to solve America’s massive problems. America, you really have lost it! The Vietnam generation was the last one that actually had the guts to believe that a revolution was the only possible solution to change things in the U.S. Today’s generation is pathetic and utterly clueless and hopeless! It’s all over anyway. It’s too late. the U.S. is headed on the fast track to becoming a Fascist Nation.
jos boersema Says:
Jay, thanks, that`s real sweet. I also agree with hey-got-to-go and his anger with the Americans (mostly the govnmt I guess), I was just a little concerned that we could end up divided ourselves. I also think that if there is a choice between letting the USA go on or have it cut down by a dictatorship, then the latter is the better option. The third way is still the best: outright peoples revolution, get the vast majority of the army and police on the side of truth & justice, and then rebuild the USA (as at least 8 new countries).

Turn off your TV’s, you’re paying to be lied too. Blow up every cell phone tower, they’re poisening your mind and making you ill. Stop vaccinating your children, you’re making them toxic. Freedom is a birthright not a priviledge, but right now you’re a slave; black and white and yellow and red alike. Remember that all it takes for evil to succeed is for good men (and women) to do nothing. When your grandchildren in years to come ask what you did to stop fascism creeping in the back door what will you be able to tell them? I for one would rather have layed my life on the line for a chance to live in a better world as a truly free man than to have cowered in the corner when it the time came to stand up and say “I have had enough and I’m not willing to take this from you anymore!”. I hope you find your truth and are able to live by it. Peace
September 28th, 2008 at 6:32 am
Good for the Congress. They must be quite proud. They were able to make minor concessions that should have been a part of the plan to begin with (at least a plan that was drafted by patriots). The audacity of a no-strings bail-out is in-line with their final and esteemed decision to drop support for those American’s who truly need it.
Job well done you mutants of industry, you maven’s of immoral greed. Sleep well. As for the rest of the country, wake up.

The smiles on these congress members MUST be preserved for future generations to see and judge for themselves if revolution is due as it is now overdue. This nation can no longer claim sovereignty. The power of the people has been hijacked. Unitary executive power now rules America. The other branches just caved in. Paulson now owns the treasury with Bush. This bailout WILL NOT FIX ANYTHING! Just like 911 NO ONE is being held accountable for this CREATED mess. Rule of law has collapsed for good! The enemy turns out to be DOMESTIC and now this can not be refuted! The Constitution just took a bullet to the heart! America is DEAD!

My wife came up with the solution. Give everyone making less than 100,000/yr 1 million dollars. Then pay down the national debt with the rest.

Losers will be back, all the wiser
Andrew Main, Business editor | September 29, 2008
BEFORE you pack up and abandon the investment market for the next decade, be aware that some fund managers are enjoying “double-digit returns” from buying distressed debt assets here and in the US.
That’s what they’re saying, although they’re too coy to say exactly what they’ve bought, but think babies and bathwater.
“We’re buying distressed debt in structured vehicles at between 25c and 30c in the dollar,” said one, who again declined to give details.
But the simple arithmetic on that, assuming the debt was issued at a yield of, say, 6 per cent, is that at 25c it’s paying 24 per cent per year to maturity.
That’s assuming investors get paid back at the end, but no doubt the buyers have done their own risk assessment.
Risk analysis has a bad name at the moment because of the disgraceful practice of ratings agencies having allowed issuers of credit default swap insurance to “rent” AAA ratings, but it’s the future and it works. You may just have to do your own.
Nathan Rothschild memorably recommended that investors should “buy when the blood is running in the streets, even if it is your own”.
25-30 cent on the dollar……….Thieves, Vultures!

My fellow Americans, If we’re forced to give 700 billion dollars to one Wallstreet firm and 300 billion to another why aren’t we all getting shares of stock from these companies? The Stock should go to those who’ve filed for taxes in 08. Maybe Washington is afraid the stock would become a form of legel tender for exchange, purchasing and selling? Hope we survive the storm. God Bless and Save America.

NO NO NO BAILOUT! No WAY! I am a single person who does not have a 401K, I DO NOT have debt I can’t afford.. or a credit card balance.. Nor do I have a forclosed mortgage, I don’t have a car loan or any other kind of loan! I don’t have children I can’t afford! I got everything I have by working hard for it and saving. My parents have done the same thing and their parents before them! We work for a living and we don’t live above our means because we have patience to wait for what we want. We work hard for what we want and we have lots of time to decide if what we want is really WHAT WE WANT!! I may want starbucks coffee in the morning but I can settle for some ice cubes, sugar and brewed folgers. If we allow this bailout to happen it’s just like saying.. “I can’t function because I am a spoiled idiot who gets what I crave when I crave it and don’t you dare try to stop me!!” That is a very un-American way to behave. That kind of behavior should not be rewarded. As TRUE American’s WE should remain in a constant state of awareness that we are here soley because what was being taken advantage of elsewhere would be better here. If we forget what our constitution says then we may as well forget we have a constitution. At this point in history we are on the verge of deciding what is to be or what is to be lost forever. If we chose this bailout I suggest you return to the country your forefathers came from and learn by experience.. because this place will have been lost forever by greed and stupid reckless behavior, just like what you came from. Oh..and don’t worry so much about voting for president.. worry about who you vote in to Gov, Reps, etc.. the last person you can depend on is your president! This entire situation is a prime example. Your welcome

It’s the most ridiculous thing I have ever witnessed. If it’s not working and dysfunctional, why rescue it? The most reasonable thing do do would be to let the whole pile o s*it fall and start from the beginning. Just more dysfunction from a dysfunctional alcoholic administration.

I’ve looked at this bill. It seems to give Paulson unlimited authority to buy any U.S. asset or ‘institution’, period. Scary. Also, if I as a taxpayer am purchasing through Paulson my own troubled mortgage and paying myself interest on the debt i secured—why not just write off the debt and call it a day?!!!

Dear Sir or Madame,
I am an American, I have/had a government that is “Of the people by the people for the people” you will not vote yes for this bail out no matter how you package it… this whole bill is a set up….we have NO business doing business with Wall St. If they fail they fail. We are a very strong people and can handle a what ever is facing us. To bail these crooks out at my expense and the expense of all Americans is in my opinion an act of deference to The People’s will and The Constitution of the United State of America AND is tantamount to treason.
You need to read and comprehend the Constitution and the oath that you took when you entered office as my representative. Your duty is to uphold that oath. I will put this as bluntly as I can. You vote yes and I will do every thing in my power legally under the Constitution to remove you from office as my elected official representative as is my Right as an American Citizen.
I will not live in fear of servants. I paraphrase Thomas Jefferson when he said that the government should fear the people and when it is in reverse, when the people fear their government…their liberties are lost.
This movement of Congress represents a historical change in the course of American history only if you let it. The American Dream ends here if you let it…the new America will not ever be the same if you let it.
I plead, with all of my heart as a free American, that you don’t do this abominable act. Search you soul. Talk with us, the people you represent. Know that with all of your heart that it is your duty, your solemn oath that you swore to uphold, despite the wave of complacency (that is all to easy to obtain), that it is your duty to do the WILL OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE. I beg you as a freedom loving American…VOTE NO!
