Mortgage Brokers who stretched the truth, flipped numbers etc to get people qualified and out the door should be prosecuted. And lastly Barney Frank for standing up for Fannie Mae saying Republicans were being racist wanting more regulation and accountability? Have to think about that for a while.

If you think we had time to "restructure" and wait out this process, I disagree. There are too many innocents who would have been added to the unemployment rolls if immediate action wasn't taken. Of course I agree that the union deals are ridiculous, but they have evolved over multiple watches over the the years and to just expect Obama to flip a switch in his first month to correct decades of ills is unrealistic. That's what gets me...you guys just keep cutting and insulting...and many times correctly, IMO, but where is the factual detail about what you would do? It's easy to sit back and just snipe away, but where is the sent from God right wing answer? And don't tell me "stop spending"...let's here details...details. Right or wrong, Obama is out there with a plan...And the Democratics are rightfully cutting it where needed. But where is the opposition plan to pull us out? Where is Newt's "Contract for America"..Where has anyone from the right come forward with anything constructive besides criticism?

I would let GM and Ford file and restructure. They got guys at the Janesville plant barely able to tie their shoes and are making $70plus/hr when beni's are included. We disagree on that.

It is easier to nit pick but for instance I would have left in the verification of citizenship for new hires of companies receiving stim money but dems took it out. Instead of some sort of youth volunteer organization I'd give incentives to companies to hire interns with education awards for not just showing up but doing well.

Ron White had this idea though not very practical...

We sell Florida to Isreal and use the money as a down payment on Mexico. We deport our illegals back to Mexico and hire them back to paint and improve the landscape. We flip it and sell it back to Mexico with a very bad very high adjustable loan. We let them default, foreclose on it and use it as equity to buy our way all the way to the Panama Canal which was ours to begin with. We then pump enough oil from the ground to make Mexico sink about 30 feet creating our wall, natural.
