Quoting Elite (Thread starter): Is it putting the burden of the mistakes made by Wall Street on Main Street or is it necessary to stabilize the markets? |
Quoting MD80fanatic (Reply 2): The only way to go from here is to dump the Dollar and embrace the Amero. (of course this has been the plan for ten years).....and this financial "crisis" is precisely the event that will convince frightened and poor America to surrender her last hope into the hands of an already planned and established North American Union. |
Quoting DL021 (Reply 3): Do what? |
Quoting MD80fanatic (Reply 5): are being skillfully manipulated into accepting a supra-national currency (similar to the Euro) in the very near future. |
Quoting AGM100 (Reply 7): Union Bail out or something .. ??? Payoff to union run organizations |
Quoting Seb146 (Reply 6): Why can we not let the markets correct themselves? Isn't this just a correction in the market? |
Quoting Seb146 (Reply 8): Unions are just awful. I hate that unions help give us child labor laws, a 40 hour work week, overtime pay. Let's get rid of unions.... |
Quoting PPVRA (Reply 14): Looks like it is not passing! |
Quoting AGM100 (Reply 16): |
Quoting Dougloid (Reply 19): rumor has it the plan failed. |
Quoting Derico (Reply 22): I think a similar scenario would be for the US. 2009 would be a disastrous year with unemployment topping 11% and hundreds of bank failures, poverty rising above 20%... and then things would start recovering. The social consequences however would take much longer than a year to mend though. |
Quoting DLPMMM (Reply 23): Why are you saying it was the Republicans? |
Quoting DLPMMM (Reply 23): "Ample no votes came from both the Democratic and Republican sides of the aisle." Why are you saying it was the Republicans? |
Quoting Singapore_Air (Reply 25):
Quoting DLPMMM (Reply 23): Why are you saying it was the Republicans? One could argue that the Republican President told his party what to do and by a margin of rougly 2:1, they disagreed and killed the bill. Also, such a comment was heard many times on CNBC. |
Quoting Allstarflyer (Reply 27): but you'd say that Bush was telling "his party what to do"? There's round-the-world disagreement on that one, then . . . |
Quoting MD80fanatic (Reply 5): You may find the concept of the Amero to be puzzling now.....but rest assured that you and the rest of America are being skillfully manipulated into accepting a supra-national currency (similar to the Euro) in the very near future. |
Quoting Johnboy (Reply 33): .and Boehner says Nancy Pelosi forced Republicans to vote no due to her "highly-partisan" speech. Who knew she had so much power over those fragile, weak-minded Republicans? |
Quoting StuckInCA (Reply 28): |
Quoting Singapore_Air (Reply 29): |
Quoting STT757 (Reply 21): The House Republicans killed the bill. |
Quoting StuckInCA (Reply 26): According to CNN: "About 60% of Democrats voted for the measure, but less than a third of Republicans backed it." |
Quoting Seb146 (Reply 8): Unions are just awful. I hate that unions help give us child labor laws, a 40 hour work week, overtime pay. Let's get rid of unions.... |
Quoting Johnboy (Reply 33): ...and Boehner says Nancy Pelosi forced Republicans to vote no due to her "highly-partisan" speech. |
Quoting Allstarflyer (Reply 35): Obviously, it wasn't just the House Republicans who slammed the door on the bill - 40% of Democrats followed suit. It sounded like Singapore_Air (along w/CNBC) was backing up the idea that it was the GOP lawmaker's issue. |
Quoting STT757 (Reply 30): The way this works is you don't bring a vote to the floor unless you have the votes, the Democratic leaders in the house had their share of the votes. The Republican leadership who support the bill allowed the vote to go forward without getting enough of their own membership onboard, you don't bring a vote as important to this unless you know who's going to vote what way. |
Quoting DocLightning (Reply 32): Huh? And the other countries that will be participating in this currency are...? |
Quoting DocLightning (Reply 32): And you have this knowledge...how? |
Quoting DocLightning (Reply 32): Did you forget your tin-foil hat today? |
Quoting Tugger (Reply 37): The Republican's did not have their house in order (no pun intended) and they should have. Whatever concerns needed to be addressed in the bill prior to it going to the floor should have been addressed. It will be worked out, I suspect, rather quickly and the Republicans that voted against it will be able to crow to their constituents what they did (as good conservative Republicans), I suspect (there's that word again) that is what they were wanting/needing. |
Quoting STT757 (Reply 21): The House Republicans killed the bill. |
Quoting UAXDXer (Reply 41):
Couldn't this bill have passed with out one single republican vote? |
Quoting STT757 (Reply 34):
So the House Republicans totally F* over the American people to make a point to Nancy Pelosi, time to get these immature ideologues out of the Congress. |
Quoting LAXintl (Reply 43): Its not that the Republicans killed it, is that the Democracts who are the majority could not get enough of their own members to even vote for it. |
Quoting STT757 (Reply 21): The House Republicans killed the bill. |
Quoting UAXDXer (Reply 41): It is really scary that the state of politics has gotten so low |
Quoting UAXDXer (Reply 41): Every one of these politicians must be held accountable for their deplorable actions! |
Quoting AirframeAS (Reply 44): It killed by both, Republicans and Democrats. Some Republicans voted against it, per se.... |
Quoting UAXDXer (Reply 41): Every one of these politicians must be held accountable for their deplorable actions! |
