    Sept. 20 (Bloomberg) — The Bush administration has sent to Congress legislation seeking broad power for the U.S. Treasury Department to acquire troubled assets now on the balance sheets of American financial companies.

    The legislation was forwarded to congressional leaders in both political parties early this morning. The move comes as Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke are pressing for action from Congress by the end of next week.

      I owe some folks money. Can I get in on the action, since a little more legalized counterfeiting almost never hurt anybody? 10’s and 20’s are ok, but with non-sequential serial numbers. And can I get fries with that?

      CONGRESS, DON’T DO IT!! This is all just a cover up to conceal who has been behind all the robbery of the peoples money. “They” have been cooking the books for years and bilking the world out of billions and even trillions of dollars. Why do you think the WTC1, WTC2 and WTC7 had to fall? It had all the documents to prove what was going on and who was in on all the scamming.The Enron scam was just the beginning and 911 was the perfect excuse to create Bush’s bullshit war on terror and the money coverup. No doubt Bush is covering tracks for all his buddies who want their own private world. Now everyone can see the results of all this and if congress lets Bush do this, he and his buddies will be getting away with the biggest robberies in human history without anyone being held liable for all this treason. WAIT, WHAT AM I SAYING? Aren’t some members of congress his buddies! WHOA!

      Here is a site providing comparison of US government statistics compared to world wide stats and showing what the real values for GDP, CPI and inflatino are and have been, it also has extrapolated mupply supply numbers (M1, M2 and M3) that BushCo and Bernanke stopped publishing a few years back the estrapolatin is based on the value of the dollar.

      I’m sure everyone wanted to here this one:

      Sec. 10. Increase in Statutory Limit on the Public Debt.

      Subsection (b) of section 3101 of title 31, United States Code, is amended by striking out the dollar limitation contained in such subsection and inserting in lieu thereof $11,315,000,000,000.

      Read it before they remove it.

      If everybody in United States defaults on their mortgages. We could get the government to bail out everybody. Credit won’t be important anymore because everybody will be a bad risk. Then wait for the goverment to give you your house back at pennies on the dollar since they will have 100 million bad mortgages and no buyers!!

    14. John Q Says:

      READ the bill, especially these two parts:

      (3) designating financial institutions as financial agents of the Government, and they shall perform all such reasonable duties related to this Act as financial agents of the Government as may be required of them;

      Sec. 8. Review.

      Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency.

      Government could nationalize entire financial sector, pay nothing for it and no court could stop them……

    15. Dave Says:

      This is simple. The agency of the Treasury is apart of the executive branch not the legislative branch. They have no authority to write legislation only to enforce legislation that is written and passed by congress that is consistent with the constitution.

      The flight forward. In order to cancel debts America will go to War with Russia. You and I are a commodity. In less than 100 years we have been destroyed.

    20. Nunya.b Says:

      Why can’t anyone see this for what it really is? This is all just another
      ’shock and awe’ strategy exactly the same as the 9/11, Iraq, and
      Afghanistan situations. This particular ploy is designed to eradicate
      the middle class AND the working poor by forcing everyone into
      an acceptance of the ‘work’ for your ‘credit’ balance state of
      Federalism on a global order.
      The super-rich get richer by forcing the public to manufacture the
      products that the public will consume, then charges them an
      inflated price for the consumables, all the while issuing a ‘credit’
      balance for work performed. Meanwhile deducting the ‘credits’ used
      from your credit account.
      Should this not be prevented, not only will it be an illegal usage of
      your tax dollars without due process of representation, it will also
      spell an end to Free Enterprise and your ability to decide what is best
      to purchase or not. You will be forced to become the ’sheeple-lemming’
      that works for the federalist overlords.
      ’nuff said

    21. Guy Fawkes Says:

      This action by the administration is no different from holding a gun to someone’s head and demanding their money. They’re pressuring Congress to act before Congress can pause and consider the matter and its wider ramifications—the same strategy they used in dismantling the Bill of Rights with the perversely titled “Patriot Act.” And just like the Patriot Act, this legislation was crafted long before the problem was apparent. Our hopes for a rational response are diminishing, folks.

    22. Howard in Shantytown U.S.A. Says:

      Am I wrong or is the term “troubled assets” a contradiction in terms?

    23. rich Says:

      how bout paying off everybodies credit cards while still in a giving mood. maybe write the illegals a Thanksgiving and Christmas bonos also !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.” -Thomas Jefferson

    25. Canada eh!! Says:

      Is everybody blind to the fact that you (US citizens) have let those responsible get away with it…….I mean come on and wake up!!!!! The Thomas Jefferson crap is just that unless you actually do something about it! I live in Canada and its sooo obvious. Knowledge is power and that’s that! If you don’t look then don’t blame the powers that be!!
