Should not all of you who are saying that the caculations are incorrect, be dividing the amount of dollars (billions), by the number of people (millions)? I know it will never happen, but I like his thinking.

It’s sad that some of you can’t count. It’s 700 BILLION not million. Even if it was 700 million divided by 200 million, would be $3.5 million before taxes to everyone. Simple math. Most people don’t have a calculator that has enough decimals on it. Even the person that wrote this article is wrong. It’s actually $35 MILLION per person before taxes. 700 BILLION is a lot of money. Our whole entire economy would collapse, because most people would quit their jobs!

In 1997 during President Jimmy Carters administration the Community Reinvestment Act was passed. The act represented the laudable goal of eliminating the practice of "Red-Lining" that was happening in the black community but evolved into extortion with it's mandate to give loans to members of minorities that possessed questionable credit histories. Quite naturally lending institutions coughed up the money rather than be blamed as racist and dragged through the courts. The politically correct pressure was administered by activist groups like ACORN and also members of congress. The fuse was lit and now the bomb has exploded in our laps. Most surely,people who signed for homes knowing full well that they could not handle it financially bear some of the blame but the most responsible was this attenpt at social engineering by Democrats. Yes Democrats! I know most of you black folks don't want to hear the truth but this economy and this society may be at the treshold of collapse because of wrong headed policies by Democrats. I give it to the Dem's though. They have been fooling black folks for decades. They have blacks thinking that it is the Republicans that are against them and not the Democrats. The average black person has no concept of the FACT that the Klu Klux Klan and the Red Shirts and other terrorist organizations were started by the Democratic Party. How many of you know that when the Civil Rights Bill and the Voting Rights Bill were passed more Republicans voted to pass those pieces of legislation than did Democrats? How many of you have bothered to check the record and see that in 2001,2002 and 2003 the Bush administration warned repeatedly about the toxic Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac? No,you all were to busy hating whites in general and Republicans in particular. In 2006 John McCain warned about these two GSE's in a speech on the Senate floor. Some of you may remember Alan Greenspan,he also warned congress about the problems that were going to happen if something was not done about these two GSE's. But true to form, Democrats blocked legislation that would have delivered us from what we now are facing. And still to many of us black folk are willfully ignorant of the horrendous damage that we do to ourselves. And now like lemmings over a cliff you're all running after Obama who is preaching communism but none of you seems to see the other shoe thats getting ready to drop. With the economy as it is may God help us if he gets in and raises taxes.

This financial bailout plan is okay, but there seems to be several components that are missing. It is clearly outlined that the executives of these companies will be paid a little less of the fortune that they are already receiving and will face higher taxes, but what about the ordinary Americans whose taxes are paying for this bailout? Vaguely stating that taxpayers will “have a chance to share in financial companies’ future profits” will not suffice.

With how this is set up, many Americans unfortunately will be left out of this grand plan. Yes, these financial institutions will have funds unfrozen that will be available to lend to the public, but who exactly are they lending to?

A component should have been added to this rescue plan that forces these companies to reach a minimum quota for lending to minorities. These companies should also have had to put in place a program that helps people with unhealthy credit acquire loans. They should again have a minimum quota for this initiative. Forcing these institutions to submit a yearly report outlining in detail these components will keep create true, positive change because numbers do not lie.

By implementing these components, every American will benefit from this rescue plan, not just the top execs and those with fair skin or good credit. This will create a fairer America and will assure taxpayers that their $700 billion was not wasted and actually bettered the lives of many Americans.

Re: Unjustly enriched executive
"Former HealthSouth Corp. chief executive officer Richard Scrushy has been
ordered by a judge to repay his former company more than $47.8 million in
bonuses, according to published reports. ... Judge Allwin E. Horn III of
Jefferson County Circuit Court in Birmingham, who made the ruling as part of
a summary judgment in a shareholder lawsuit, determined that Scrushy is not
entitled to the payments whether or not he participated in the fraud or knew
about the scheme."


"While the company initially reported profits during the period, Horn wrote,
HealthSouth really lost money, making Scrushy and other executives
ineligible for any bonuses."


'Knowledge is immaterial under the law of unjust enrichment,' the judge
reportedly wrote. 'Scrushy was unjustly enriched by these payments to the
detriment of HealthSouth. And to allow Scrushy to retain the benefit of
these payments would be unconscionable.' " Proven by Fact

Corruption spent $500,000.00 on a party because they think Americans are stupid. Breaking the laws, means nothing to one that have on Honor for there position or even the oath they have taken. The Why and How. Why easy GREED. How The one person that had Honor And Respect for the Position he held retired. YES MR. Greenspan. No B.S. That is Fact. Look what the Fed has done. Lower rates more, at large amount, with out notice, like never in the history of America. WHY WHY To prop up number on Freddy ,Fannie and many more needing Bail out. A False perception. Why is it hitting the fan now. America the fed rate is at 1% and they are going to move it down to 0% it can go no lower. The perception of bad mortgages is all B.S. Think 200 CEO in just one firm making $100s of millions. Give each foreclose $500,000.00 and it comes to only $400B The Numbers are not even reasonable. Americans Now the Good News News so good it is time for us to have a party. American must demand . Enforcement of the Laws
