I’d comment on this at length, but honestly, there’s only so many ways you can say “cocksuckers” and still mean it.

None of us are responsible for our financial perils. It’s all because of those greedy, evil Wall Street firms with their Rethuglican operators.
Does this ongoing cartoon ever end?
Tamanny Hall Rises!
But who are the cocksucker’s here? The political class, or the schlubs who continue to play by the rules when rules are for suckers of cock?
A cabin in the Alaska wilderness is starting to sound like heaven on earth. And I can’t hack winters like I used to.
There is going to be a lot of sucking going on.
Is it possible that they’ll present this fix for those underwater as mortgage aid, and then slide in the fine print that they are now renting from “Kill my Landlord”?
Then if the right offer comes along, Obama Realty can sell it right from under their new renters.
Ernst – I’ve lived in the South and SW my whole life; I’m ready for a change of venue. Easy to say when I’ve never shoveled snow, but I’m open to new things.
Alaska’s got pretty good skiing too, right?
I knew I should have bought a house in Big Sur for $13.5 mil and gotten one of them ARMs…
I’m curious to see how this plays out if it happens because -to paraphrase the Iron Lady- we have run out of other peoples money.
The AP-
I’m not sure if a Mortgage bailout will be an automatic win for Obama considering the rage that the original TARP idiocy induced. And the more people find out how broke we are the more they are going to want to stop the government from digging a deeper hole.
Using administrative fiat to:
Create amnesty with an end-run around Congress? Check
‘Forgive’ the underwater mortgages of potential Democrat voters? Check
Congressional action to:
Use Federal tax dollars to funnel funds to allies in the NEA, SEIU and UAW? Check
Use the “lame duck session to pass Cap & Trade, Fairness Doctrine, Card Check? Pending
Comrades, the glorious Peoples Republic of Amerikkka is within our grasp!
Don’t forget, the TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) was passed to buy up the “bad paper” in the financial system. BUT< when it became clear that it would have to be "transparent" and disclose prices paid, the Treasury Dep't & politicians switched all the funds into "equity investments" into the banks and auto companies. As a result, the Fed was left to do the heavy lifting of TARP and by loosening the requirments on what they'd take in at the Fed "window" as deposits by the banking system, absorbed some $1.3 TRILLION in dubious CMO's. Once FRE & FNM allow the "underwater" %'s of these mortgages to be forgiven, that $1.3T take an enormous hit. Guess who absorbs that hit? Clue: The Fed is funded by the Congress with taxpayer dollars. So, effectively, Obama & Co. try to BUY votes from those homeowners who see their mortgage debt reduced, and all us taxpayers eat hundreds of billions of losses at the Fed which simply gets added to the deficit numbers. What was deTocquville's line again? The American experiment in democracy will end when the political class realizes that it can buy votes with the proceeds of the public treasury. Shark jumped, bigtime.
Well. The Lord taketh…and the Lord giveth away.
No it’s not.
Well, now…
TaiChiWawa, I think you may have found our next Treasury Secretary.
Yeah, we were suckers for missing out on that opportunity. Fuck, I do the responsible thing and get a mortgage I can afford and pay it on time, and I get squat. I have to ***gasp*** pay the rate and principal I agreed to.
I have a problem rewarding foolish reckless behavior.
For “selected” homeowners, no doubt.
Still planning on paying that mortgage,? Chump…
14: Yep, that woman was right and I was wrong. When I heard what she said I thought she was nuts. No longer.
Then again, if it were truly Obama paying for it, that would be just fine with me. The problem is, it’s the 48% who pay income taxes who are paying for it.
“It’s the End of the World as We Know It, But I Feel Fine”

This has to be from The Onion.
Why, is someone building a bonfire out of the IOUs? Because there isn’t any actual, you know, money in the trust fund.
How is this much of a surprise? The Democrats have votes to buy, goddamnit!

In case there is anyone left out there that may be unaware, Fannie and Freddie have been Democrat slush fund piggy banks for decades.
“Ya hafta stop demanding to get all all your money out right away. Ya don’t understand. The money’s not in the bank. It’s not in the properties. It’s in the printing presses of the Treasury Department. It’s in the inflation that’s going to rob you blind once spending all that printed money causes hyperinflation. It’s in the pockets of Peggy Josephs all over the nation.”
-George Bailey
It’s finally happened: the only way to satirize real life now is to write about a sensible world.
Onion Headline: “President Cuts All Business Taxes Completely, Personal Taxes to 15% Across the Board.”
This farcical notion conclusively demonstrates the stupidity and lack of cogent thought that are now the hallmarks of the Obama “administration”.
They want to buy the votes from the 20% of homeowners that owe too much on their homes, right? So with typical liberal logic, they hit upon the genius idea to pay down the voters loans with fake money.
Question: Exactly how mad are the 80% of homeowners that don’t get paid because they are solvent and responsible going to be?
Answer: ‘Democrat Party no longer a viable congressional caucus due to low numbers’ angry.
Bet: 200 dollars to the Keep Jeff Blogging Foundation.*
If the insane wing of the Socialist party perpetrate this lunacy (remember what I said about those whom the gods would destroy…) the Democrat Party will end as a viable force in American politics.
And they are most definately dumb enough to do it.
*A 501c3 non-profit that qualifies for 250,000,000 green jobs dollars if Jeff would just use his wordy-ness to fill out the grant application.
A homeowner quote:
“Or…it might have the opposite effect and thoroughly tick off those who have continued to pay or have payed off their mortgages. I know I’ll be mad as hell should this happen.”
The Dems really are dunb/insane/stupid/desperate enough to do it.
Jeff,
It occurs to me that you really should be using your time and talents to sponge up on the fake money sloshing around DC right now. The other day I was in the palatial offices of a company that was researching algae based fuels. Brother, that scam is right up there with rain-making, except that rain-making does not violate the laws of physics.
Just form a 501c3 foundation (because foundations are inherently good). Then write a grant application so densely packed with gobbledygook as to be completely unreadable. Just make sure that it hits every liberal trope right on the head, and include plenty of buzzwords. Submit to Socialist govenment. Repeat as needed when you run low on cash.

Off topic but it does pertain to the Chicago Way: Fine writing. H/T: to the Anchoress for finding this gem.
It is analogous to the Obama Administration.
Is there anything that they cannot fuck up? Under what rationale do they think this will help the markets, housing values, the economy, anything.
You never know, perhaps Obama thinks he will find his own Chinese Chung Brothers to make everything right.
At least make it right long enough to close the sale.
RELEASE THE KAGAN!!!
Joe, you just made Johnny Depp wake up from a sound sleep, screaming.
Anyone want to let the AP in on the secret?
They probably believe this will re-inflate housing prices. After all if a thing is more expensive it must be more valuable. Right? It’s wealth creation, man.
They
thinkknow it will help their chances of getting re-elected, JD.That is the only thing that matters to most of them.
See I had this professor in Econ 101 and he really opened up my eyes, you know what I’m saying?
See, I was thinking in this really one-dimensional way about economics. I thought you had to have money to spend it, but he really showed me that all you have to do is print money and it spends just the same.
Dude. I’m telling you this is working. Seriously.
The results, like everything else this clown car of an administration has tried, will be the polar opposite of what they intended them to be.
After the election there will not be enough Democrats left to fill a decent sized table in a K Street restaurant.
Who will the Podesta group lobby when there are no Democrats left?
Podesta’s daughter, who if the world was based on talent and ability would be waiting tables, better start working the phone banks for Nancy Pelosi.
No. Seat. Is.
Safe.
When I was in High School back in the early seventies I had a chance to take two years of Economics with a Freidman disciple. That really opened by eyes. Then Gerry Studds, uber liberal congressman, came to my school and I asked him a question about taxes and spending and … he pretty much eviscerated me, invoking old women on Social Security and fixed incomes.
Later my teacher consoled me and told me I had asked the wrong question.
Considering his reputation, be thankful he didn’t proposition you.
Huh. Those to the Left of Obama obviously are needing even more cash to quieten.
The damndest thing about #30 is that Jeff could make that work…
You know what is great for breakfast? 4 leftover Taco Bell bean burritos with sour cream.
Yum.
Blissful, Mike. Pure pleasure. Sadly, my gall-bladder free system processed them in about 94 seconds.
Although, Hewitt was listing a string of pending Democrat election losses, and concluded that list by saying that “Speaker Pelosi will be thrown out.” Somewhat ambiguous.
WTS, I think Hewitt means the Dems will lose their majority, so Madam Speaker Pelosi will no longer be the Speaker. Just a regular shoe congresscritter. Being the rep from San Franfreako, Nan is pretty safe.
But I can throw a thunderbolt at Hewitt for the fun of it too.
Yeah, that statement of Hewitt’s was ill-worded. San Fran Nan has that seat for life.
