Section 8 of the administration's financial bailout plan is downright frightening: "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.
So much for checks and balances.

I'm writing this article a full week before it's due to appear in the paper. Considering all that's going on in the election. I know that's early, but unless someone drops out of the race, T doubt that anything in the election will match, for pure audacity alone, the blatant extortion that George Bush is trying to perpetrate on the people in his so-called bailout plan. His plan has the potential to be the biggest ripoff of the people in the history of this, or any other nation, since man first set foot on Earth-and I mean that quite literally.
Initially I thought their game could be revealed by simply determining if they were telling the truth about the seriousness of the problem, but between the banking community's multiple schemes to rid us of our funds, and Bush's plan to bail them o...

WALL STREET BAILOUT OUT WILL SINK THIS SHIP
After eight years of Bush/McCain deregulation, the administration is rushing through government bailouts that are suspiciously counter to the neo-cons most cherished beliefs. Sure, it's a huge crisis, but is that any reason for taxpayers to hurry into overpaying on bad mortgages to save companies that made bad decisions?

Well, if you're so opposed to a bailout of Wall Street, what would you do?" I get this question all the time from advocates of the proposed $700 billion Wall Street bailout here inside the Beltway. In the nation's capital, this is what passes for a plausible "defense" of bad policy proposed during times of crisis. "We must do something. Here's something. Do it. Now!
If I had any confidence in the ability of the political process to produce a rational, bold response, my answer would be: "I would do plenty." Start by unwinding the many government mistakes that created the housing bubble, repealing the various laws and regulations specifically designed to put people into homes that they could not afford. I would scrap the Community Reinvestment Act, break up Fannie and Freddie, and put t...

So there you are in a stuffy cubicle in the used-car lot office and the salesman insists he got you this fabulous deal from the sales manager but you must agree in the next five minutes because the offer won't be good if you sleep on it overnight.
You either walked out or drove home in an overpriced clunker.
