This Dubya economy is so awesome and spectacular that the FDIC has to get into the act and give people gobs and gobs of free money:
quote:
(Reuters) - Federal Deposit Insurance Corp (FDIC) might have to borrow money from the Treasury Department to see it through an expected wave of bank failures, the Wall Street Journal reported.
ADVERTISEMENT
The borrowing could be needed to cover short-term cash-flow pressures caused by reimbursing depositors immediately after the failure of a bank, the paper said.
The borrowed money would be repaid once the assets of that failed bank are sold.
I concede. I know it is a great economy when the FDIC doesn't think it can afford to pay off all of the insured people at the rate banks are expected to fail. Not since Herbert Hoover (another Republican with a great record on the economy) has this nation ever been so strong.

Roger, I sense some bitterness in your post.
Did your stimulus check not go as far as needed?

I put it in a non FDIC insured credit union and after switching it over to an FDIC insured bank I read today that it's (FDIC) running out of money. : /
Long live bank deregulation and the glorious economy.
I had to add that was funny. ; ) The check was fine and is doing what we wanted it to do but honestly when you're a small government, responsible budget and government kind of person it's hard to get excited about that.

your right my friend, but 4 more years of Bush's disasterous policies via Mcsame and we could head that way. I mean dude, do you realize we spend about 10 billion a month on Iraq? Our great grandchildren will still be paying off that debt, is that really fair to our future generations? Remember, Jesus didn't have a problem with giving to the poor. I just think that the main "hot topics" that drive "christians" against us Democrats is the whole abortion and same sex marriage ****! Man, whether Roe v. Wade ever gets overturned or not, or whether 2 males or females have the legal right to marry means nothing to me dude, My issues are the ones that matter to me as a father to my kids, the one's that ARE HERE. Will I be able to afford to pay for not just to put a roof over my kids heads or feed them at home, but like school lunches and daycare, I mean get real folks! I could care less about Roe v. Wade!
What about school lunches and daycare?

I was just saying that school lunches and daycare are pretty expensive when you consider a single parent that doesn't receive child support, or can qualify for his child to get at least reduced lunches at school, because I supposedly make TOO much money. It's just very frustrating is all. However I continue to work hard and try to budget my money as best as possible to provide my child with his needs and some of his wants. I just went over 30K a yr this past Feb and the state believes I shouldn't receive any help. Well, lots of folks would say heck just quit your job with the Government and go work at Mcdonalds and you'll qualify for all kinds of help. Nah, not interested. My mother didn't rear me that way, I guess the good thing I can say about our Crumbling economy is that it has taught me to pray more. I'm also working on getting back into school, to get a degree in IT, that way my salary will almost double in this area where I live. I might be a "Liberal" But I believe whole heartedly in working for my beans!

Yeah I was a (R) from 92-04. However, working on Ft. Campbell and getting to serve the troops and seeing them return missing limbs, and all the casualties, with no end in sight really got me to think about what was important to me. You are right tho, about the stimulus checks, I mean don't get me wrong I needed the extra cash, unfortunately my son's granchildren will be paying back the defecit. I dont look a gift horse in the mouth ever, even if the gift came from a Jackass.

So you have a problem with the concept of the rebate checks, but you took the money anyway. Nice to see you stick to your convictions....

If you had to pay the bills didn't make a Heck of a whole lot of money, was a single parent, and did not receive child support, and the state thinks you make toooooo much money? I mean get real bro.

Yeah and you know it's like this. Say Pastor was to receive a "love gift" from someone inhis chirch in the amount of over 1,000,000 dollars and later find out that the giver got the money from the state lottery, do you reallllllyyy expect that pastor to give the money back? I'd love to see that happen. Even if a preacher feels that the lottery is "evil" lol, I have heard many a preachers use the phrase " We can always clean this money and use it for God."

And one last thing TAFKAM, I dont get on here and try to Spiritualy beat you over the head either. But you have to realize that not every Christian has the same convictions as you do. and whether you belive it or not....it's really ok. We all have different convictions. I have great friends that don't believe like I do, don't love them any less. And i sure wouldn't try to make them feel like garbage, especially in an open forum like this. Just don't think I would be getting the Whole Godly love thing across if I did.

Um, dude? It's a DUSCUSSION forum. About current events and election issues, no less. Which means (get ready) that some of us may DISAGREE with each other. And we may do so spiritedly.
If you're so think skinned that you can't stand the heat of someone taking you to task on a given issue, I suggest you stay out of the discussion....

Dude, what I have observed over the last couple of days is not a discussion, it's morelike a fight. I know a good argument. I like a good discussion, used to have many of them with my fellow pastor's in my District at our meetings. I can definitely take the heat. I'm not thin skinned at all brother. But somethimes folks on here come across a little tooooo judgemental rather than just argumentative. Besides I thought this thread was titled All Bush- The Critique? Not Lets Bash those that don't support Bush.

That was pretty good, I guess now I have seen it. I don't believe in tithing anyways.....I believe in supporting the Church. I just don't believe it should be limited to a 10% tax.

I have a question, did the rebate checks amount to 10% of the GDP?
They sent my hubby a letter saying he owed an hospital bill and took the rebate check.
A man that has worked HARD all his life. Some times 2 jobs.
I'll be glad when Bush is gone.
I'm pray for him and his family.

How much money would we save our taxpayers if we secured our borders, went after employers who hired illegals and withheld federal funds from "sancturary cities"?

Sadly there are those who make the claim that things would get much more expensive. That was the reasoning behind Dubya's failed guest worker program that without it business' couldn't afford to pay workers the current market value for their work so they would tolerate the illegals in to keep costs down.
Americans for example won't go pick tomatoes and lettuce for 10 hours a day for practically nothing. Take out the illegals doing it and you either pay more for Americans to pick it which would put our farmers at a disadvantage to foreign growers or worse could force us to stop growing some things. Either way we would pay more at the store which would offset any kind of tax break.
I don't believe it would be cheaper in the long run to cut off the illegals but it is the right thing to do and the right thing isn't always the cheapest.

Actually, it was the Dems who were really calling for the stimulus checks this time, though it was bipartison->http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/01/24/economic.stimulus/index.html
Obama has called for additional stimulus checks->http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121970803923071113.html?mod=googlenews_wsj
to the tune of $115billion. More borrowing from China?
Guess what, my money didn't get spent. It went right into savings. I make less than $25k/year, one income, wife and 2 kids. And we are not on any gov't programs. We were for a while, but they were too burdensome. I don't know how so many people can stand being on them. Neways, God provides for us in ways that we cannot imagine.
I criticize Bush for starting a war in Iraq on false pretenses, but I also believe he was deceived by the Cheney and Rumsfield even more so.
I will not vote Dem for president because they only have a socialist/communist agenda these days.

Kudos to Bush for being the driving force behind keeping the country free of terror attacks for 7 years and counting.

Just giving credit where credit is due. Who, right after 9/11 happened, would think that 7 years later there would be 0 major attacks in the US?

People that had not enough time and information to understand the threat. Bin Laden never intended to invade the US. His strategy was to provoke the West into conflicts where "infidels" could be killed more easily. More Americans have been killed in Iraq than on 9/11.
