I read one estimate that between 5000 - 8000 banks will fail, within the next
five years.  If true, the staistics alone are disturbing, but the result is
frightening.  Our banking system will becom even more centralized, more
controlled by the same moronic clowns who control Wall Street and Congress
today. 
 
 I just hope for a day when the regular working people realize that, for the
most part, the "wizards of the universe" are not the "best and the
brightest", they are simply the best connected and least scrupulous. 
 
If these crass people can keep their ill-gotten gains, upon the tax-paying
back of people who actually do physical work, in the heat, the cold , and the
rain, then, i don't see any brightness in the future of our country, unless
it is the light of well placed fires, lit bit highly principled young people.

As of this week you will be living in a different country.

The bailout of the mortgage industy, the 'don't want to discuss anything so
insignificant as the housing bubble', the 'ain' making any more land  - 
recovery is just around the corner - never been a better time to buy'
industry,
contains the following, these are quotes from the proposed legislation:


"TheSecretary's authority to purchase mortgage-related assets under thisAct
shall be limited to 700,000,000,000 dollars outstanding at any one time"

(That is, it isn't a $700B bailout, that's just the amount that can be
outstanding at one time.  This bill authorizes the treasury to spend an
unlimited
amount of money)

"The Secretaryis authorized to take such actions as the Secretary deems
necessary tocarry out the authorities in this Act, including, WITHOUT
LIMITATION"

""Designating financial institutions as financial agents of the
Government,and they shall perform all such reasonable duties related to this
Actas
financial agents of the Government as may be required of them"

(That is, the Sec. of Treasury can appoint any of his banking buddies as
deputies and they can have the same authority and impunity as he has)

"Sale of Mortgage-Related Assets.  The Secretary may, at any time, upon terms
and conditions and at prices determined by the Secretary,sell, or enter into
securities loans, repurchase transactions or otherfinancial transactions in
regard to, any mortgage-related assetpurchased under this Act."

(That is, the Sec of Treasury can buy worthless assets from his buddies for
the full face value and then sell them for five cents on the dollar and the
US
taxpayer picks up the tab for the difference).

And this is the clincher:

"Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are
non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by
any
court of law or any administrative agency"

Nobody, not even God, can regulate or oversee the Secretary of the Treasury,
not the courts, congress, nobody.  It makes the Secretary of the Treasury the
dictator and emperor of the country.  </HTML>
