Guest[quote=Veritas]Feds Didn’t Do Enough To Avoid ‘Poisonous’ AIG Bailout And Now Changing Story To Defend It, Watchdog Says:
“Despite the many options it had, the team led by current Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner chose to bail out ailing insurer American International Group Inc. and its Wall Street counterparties to the eventual tune of more than $182 billion, a decision that continues to have a ‘poisonous effect on the marketplace,’ according to a new Congressional report.”

More transparency from the people who brought us hope and same, I mean change. Good grief.[/quote]
Veritas, who exactly authorized the AIG bailout? And who could have stopped it?
“Even at this late stage, it remains unclear whether taxpayers will ever be repaid in full,” the Congressional Oversight Panel [COP] noted in its Thursday report on AIG and the extraordinary taxpayer support it received from the fall of 2008 through March 2009.

Participant[quote=briansd1]I wanna know… if the economy will collapse in 2011 because the Bush tax cuts will expire, is it a good time to buy a house now?[/quote]
Of course, it’s an optimal time. When the tax cuts end, the marginal tax rate will go up, making the mortgage tax deduction all that more valuable, and increasing the amount of mortgage one can afford for a given out-of-pocket cost. I’m surprised Laffer did not point out my point above in his recent article. It’s all about tax code and implications caused by changes in tax code 😉
