However. Just for the record, and because, since writing my previous comment in this Doc-ument, I used the term "poutine-slurping" in conversation and someone, um, let's say got completely the wrong idea.... ;) ~ Poutine is a Canadian...delicacy. A plate of fresh hot fried potatoes, covered with fresh soft cheese curds, and slathered with hot brown gravy. ~ rose This has nothing to do with housing, finance, the economy, the recession, the Depression, or Hank Paulson’s armaments.

I do not now nor have I EVER known anyone who was opposed to immigration. Ever. Period. And I'm old and have known a LOT of people. I HAVE known people who were opposed to Mexicans and/or Hispanics. I've always considered them to be racist losers and never taken their opinions to be too worthy of consideration. They are a TINY minority, a fringe really, and I live in SoCal so I know of where I speak. Many of us are opposed to illegal immgrants for their effect on wages, employment, taxes, housing prices, etc... and it comes mostly from its negative effects on the citizens of this state and this country. Not- ABSOLUTELY NOT- from any "racism" which is a very common accusation thrown at anyone whose opinion the accuser doesn't like. Racists are losers, and if people would be much more careful about whether they're talking about Mexicans Hispanics Immigrants or Illegal Immigrants ...we would quit carelessly talking past each other so much and pushing each other's buttons so needlessly. The terms are NOT interchangable!!! We're all in this leaky boat together folks... we need to work harder to work together.

All this for a mortgage backed paper tiger. In case of a real (non paper) crisis how is our infrastructure doing? Yes, I know, don't make you laugh. We have no money for trains, no money for alternative energy, no money for light rail and public transit, and no manufacturing industries left in this country. And we spent it all bailing out the joke of a FIRE economy. All this before we have a REAL crisis (think peak oil etc.). All this for a mortgage backed paper tiger.

Not just because it's a bailout, not just because it's 700 billion (!), but because there is no congressional oversight! It's a trashing of the constitution and congressional powers over the purse (in addition to being a financial bankrupting of this country). It's an invitation to latin american style corruption. That money will be stolen, flushed down the drain, diverted to all sorts of corrupt avenues. Man the barricades now, or at least do what I plan to: write your congress critters! I know they don't listen, but write anyway, hope, pray for the "opposition party" FOR ONCE to grow a backbone and actually oppose something. Don't let Bush put this final nail in the coffin of this country. This bailout business is VERY VERY VERY bad.
