A close friend of mine worked for him back in the day when he was mayor. He said, Roger is quick to chime in on almost any subject with an opinion. Even when he hasnt the slightest idea what he’s talking about!! No wonder he makes for a good radio talk show guy.[/quote]
My mom worked for him when he was county supervisor, prior to being mayor. That was our family’s observation, also.Participant[quote=peterb]A quick inside note on Jolly Roger.

Is it expensive? Yes.”
Sounds like a true fiscal conservative..[/quote]
The Treasury already has the authority to buy the houses and have the loans renegotiated. As of Oct 1st, the bill that past in late July gave them that power.
What McCain offered up last night, and was explained in greater detail by his advisor Holtz-Eakin this morning, is that he will have the government buy the mortgages AT FULL VALUE from the bank. Then renegotiate the loans that the taxpayers now own.
In other words – it’s a terrible deal for the taxpayers, but a great deal for the banks.
For what it’s worth – I’m against the home mortgage bailouts. I feel that ALL parties involved in this lending free-for-for all should suffer the natural consequences – buyers who bought out of their price range due to some misguided sense of entitlement, banks who made loans to people who could not afford to make the payments. Consequences for all!
