Holding Them Accountable - Right!

Nothing like holding individuals and companies accountable for their own actions and decisions - Guess there is really no hope this will ever happen as long as politicians are able to buy votes and the population feels they should not be responsible for their mistakes. Maybe, just maybe, soon the government will start reimburse the monies lost at casinos - After all those that lost were only trying to make life better for themselves and their family!

President Bush Signs Housing Bill to Provide Mortgage Relief

The measure, regarded as the most significant housing legislation in decades, lets homeowners who cannot afford their payments refinance into more affordable government-backed loans rather than losing their homes.

It offers a temporary financial lifeline to troubled mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and tightens controls over the two government-sponsored businesses.

How Much is Enough?

For those of you interested in more than a free ride you might find this a good read. Be careful though the numbers will tell you something that you have never heard before - Lower taxes work,

...precisely what supply-siders predicted would happen with lower tax rates on capital gains, dividends and income. The economy and earnings would grow faster, which they did; investors would declare more capital gains and companies would pay out more dividends, which they did; the rich would invest less in tax shelters at lower tax rates, so their tax payments would rise, which did happen.

Their Fair Share - WSJ.com

The data show that the 2003 Bush tax cuts caused what may be the biggest increase in tax payments by the rich in American history.

Barack Obama says he's going to cut taxes for those at the bottom, but that's also going to be a challenge because Americans with an income below the median paid a record low 2.9% of all income taxes, while the top 50% paid 97.1%. Perhaps he thinks half the country should pay all the taxes to support the other half.

I know what you are thinking the rich paid more...YES, no matter what a liberal tells you!

The Dark Knight

The better halve and I went to see The Dark Knight today. It was a good movie; however, it did not live up to the hype. The story is better than most Batman movies and Heath Ledger did a good job, but he is not Jack.

I would recommend the movie but don't by into the hype - On it's on it is a good movie, but will be a disappointment if you believe the hype.

If The Media Ran the Elections

There would be no need to wait till November, the media has already declared the winner! Anyone that doesn't believe this is a fool in my opinion, but if they needed more proof this should do it!

3 Anchors to Follow Obama's Trek Abroad

The three network anchors will travel to Europe and the Middle East next week for Barack Obama's trip, adding their high-wattage spotlight to what is already shaping up as a major media extravaganza.

If you believe the MSM (main stream media) isn't bias, and hasn't long ago thrown all it's cards in on the liberal/democratic agenda...then you are as stupid as they (MSM) give you credit for!

It's Over or So They Say!

Well I look at the news and in the top ten story at the website I visited it said -

The American economy is on it last leg and we (Americans) are a bunch of fat people destroying the planet. Us Americans are living in houses we can no longer afford, driving vehicles that we shouldn't be, and eating to much while doing all this living, driving, and destroying.Because it is all over we should simply give up and depend on a saviour in government to save us from ourselves.

That is the reader's digest version, anyway - But, for me I will continue to drive what I want, eat what I want, work, and be happy...

If you believe what you read you might as well stay in bed or just find a hole, crawl in, and give up.

Don't think I would want to be on that flight...
