If you aren’t pissed off you aren’t paying attention!

I don’t think its politically viable, letters to congress or not, to avoid a government guarantee of the GSE’s.

The malaise of ignorance, I know it well. Its viable if enough people realize how they are being screwed to bail out a powerful, but small group of people at the expense of almost everyone else.

I get so tired of hearing the, “Oh its inevitable crap!” We do live in a semi-democratic system. A couple of tens of thousands of emails from angry constituents would force Boxer and Feinstein to pull their support. They are our representatives, make them act like it. Be part of the solution, no matter how insignificant you feel, unless you are pro bailout, if you choose not to voice your concern you are rubber stamping it.

Then next time you are at the gas pump and wonder why its 60 bucks to fill your Saturn and 200 a week in groceries to feed your small family, you’ll at least console yourself with the fact that you attempted to do something.

Letters to politicians do have an impact. A groundswell of public opinion shot down the “amnesty bill for illegals” (although I liked 80% of it), and has had a huge impact on shaping the current bailout bill. Without all the criticism and angry pushback, Senators Dodd, Schumer, and Shelby would have given us a much more generous bill. It has been so watered down that it won’t really help that many FBs. Its biggest drawback is symbolic–another step down the slippery slope of moral hazard.

EconProf, we already fell down the slope broke our femur and are attempting to limp across the moral hazard bridge (recently reinforced with actual steel beams from the Bear Stearns building in Manhattan.)

This bill won’t “save” housing. All it will do is save two extremely imprudent corporations that lent out their investors money far to freely.

The only fix for housing is lower prices. Legislation like this does nothing to fix the problem. I agree that protest is what has kept numb nuts and ass munch from trying offer free sammiches to everyone!

What bothers me so much is that I hear from so many people that nothing they can do will make a difference. Maybe if I spread the word that a pro-gay initiative was being tucked into the bill we would get some real protest! As well as 18 pages of replies to this thread!
