[nostradamus]

Thanks mike92104 for posting their response. Very interesting.

[quote=SD Transplant]I do agree that action must be taken. However, I would like to see the big picture, and there are a couple of immediate options that make sense:

1) Write your congressman/senators/representative
= keep the status quo

2) Elections are in just a few months/day – let’s make our voices heard PROPERLY.
= DO NOT VOTE ANY INCUMBANT IN THE OFFICE AGAIN

I think there is a third option: buy off the candidates to make them do what we want. Face it, lobbyists have all the power in this country. Find a lobbying group that supports your beliefs and back them. Or form one of your own. Voting doesn’t work so well when whomever is elected is then bought by lobbyists. Whether you vote incumbent or not, they’ll all sell out.

I think we should start a piggs lobbying force (remember swift boat?) to push our agenda. The beauty of this is it can be a tax-free enterprise gathering donations from people with similar beliefs. So each person doesn’t need to contribute a lot, we just need a lot of people to contribute a small amount.

Writing your reps is useless unless you’re writing them a check. Sad but true.

Agree with forming our own group, nostra.

There are a couple of sites/people who have been trying to organize, and I think we ought to join forces…every bubble/financial blog and related groups should absolutely join together to fight this.

If the Fed/Treasury think loading the taxpayers with trillions in additional debt is the answer, they should at least have to show us ALL the details they have which lead them to their conclusion.

They should NOT be able to keep this information opaque if we are going to pay for it.

Many people, including myself, have been trying to warn regulators, law-enforcement agencies, politicians, etc. for years. They have all sent the same basic response (if any at all) like the one Mike posted above.

F— them. They’ve screwed us over enough. Time for them to get on their knees and BEG us for ***OUR*** money. And they better damn well prove to us that it would be the best response to the CREDIT BUBBLE (not “foreclosure crisis”). Additionally, they better show us how they will make us whole when the debacle — that THEY AND WALL STREET created — is over (with interest).

This is why I favor a very progressive tax. It’s the top 1% that got us here in the first place.
