People have made bad and improper investments with credit and equity.

My family and friends (who I would say are "average" and "normal" Americans) have used home equity to buy other homes, invest in the stock market, to buy "stuff", and to pay expenses. This sometimes illegal and improper use of residential property equity is the problem! This equity does not exist yet, and no one knows when - or if it will. --- No one knows how much this equity may be - and it is all ready "at work", multiple times over. I have seen many people live off of credit, and use their money to invest. This "hyper-capitalism" of equity on equity - on credit and debt appreciation, is a flawed and failing economic model; and it is failing - just as it should.

The mortgage debt problem is simple really, it has been a total mis-appropriation of equity. The equity lost on flat screen TV's, boats, new cars, vacations, and other living expenses; is equity lost forever. This loss of equity spent on consumer goods and expenses is a pyramid scheme of hyper-capitalism that is flawed and failing. Equity not spent on the property the equity comes from, is equity lost forever, a mis-appropriation of funds, and inappropriate; it is a failing economic model. read full story / add a comment

If anything both war and securities fraudster Christopher Cox who George W as SEC Chair, as well as the the war zero and Charles Keatings' 1980's banking fraud stooge John McCain should be asked when and where they first heard the made up term 'naked short selling'(not to be confused with the academically accepted term short selling that has been in the stock or securities jargon for decades including before the great depression) - and whether the name James Dale Davidson 'rings a bell'.

"O God, do not keep silent; be not quiet, O God, be not still. See how your enemies are astir... With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish..." (Ps. 83:1-3) It's all a sad attempt to protect the stupidity of the sh*thead in the White House!

There is only one way. Russia has already proposed, and France did also: to combine the powers of the world and set a new Bretton Woods agreement. The dollar ended. But the problem is: the United States will not let the dollar end ... What the Americans are trying to do is to distribute this account all over the world read full story / add a comment

The Bush-Pelosi proposed law bailing out Wall Street capitalist greed and hyper-profit,will hit the American poor and middle class even harder, and prolong the crisis. Time to stop the bill! Time to change Wall Street-coddling politicians! Time to go into the streets and make the people's voice heard!

This Friday saw one of the largest Critical Mass bike rides Olympia has seen all year. With over 80 people celebrating anti-car culture the mass blocked all lanes of traffic, chanted things like, "Car bombs, not cars!", sang songs, harassed motorists, and spit on pro-war sign holders and anti-choice sign holders. One person, towards the end of the ride, was arrested for allegedly writing an anti pro-life message on a truck belonging to the anti-choicers. read full story / add a comment
