In other words, get the government out of our lives and let us sink or swim on our own!

I really wonder if banks are going to hold off on foreclosing, and then just sell the bad note to the government.

Everyone wants a government solution.

"It's kind of compounding the problem, I think." . . .The government's TARP purchases of preferred shares gave some banks a thicker capital cushion -- if only fleetingly -- which regulators hoped they would use to make more loans.

I don't think (as much as i would like it to) that the government would ever let the standuard of living fall like it did in the 30's.

The really scary thing is she's from the branch of our government that makes the laws.

I spent a lot of summers in istria(the peninsula in west of the country,to the border with the slovenia) and in my opinion there are a lot a beatiful places,especially on the west coast(few examples are litle and relatively peaceful cities like porec,rovign or novigrad), wich have a big potential for every kind of business or just for build the house of your dreams by the sea,but until now foreign investitors were not allowed to buy these proprieties unless they were a company owners.finally, today the croatian government opened the door to everyone who want to buy a house, a app. or a lot in this beatiful country. personally i think this is a great opportunity for everyone interested in making a smart investiment!!!

As long as the government doesn't come along and make me 'do' something I feel ok.

Funny, how the tax people find everyone they need to find.Landlords objected to the idea of signing away their right to object to entry by the government and the word "annual inspection" rolled off of the codes administrator as he was explaining "probable cause" "warrants" etc.

I do think that the government learned their lessons when they let Lehman go BK and they WILL NOT let that happen to another large financial company that has debt spread around everywhere like Lehman did (money market funds almost went under along with faith in the entire system).
