Occupy Wall Street Enters Its Fourth Day, Tensions Rise

Not just "pressured to say yes", but paid to say yes. Once Fannie and Freddie began their mission to enable these loans by buying them up, if you didn't make it, then your competitor did. You lost the sale and commission, on a loan where you essentially had no risk.

Fannie and Freddie didn't make that decision; Congress did with encouragement from bush* and the republicans in congress

The best signs would read: Obama resign!

Get a clue. The bubble started in 1997. Here, some good info for you, as you are so busy posting, you have little time to research. Just listen to Cuomo's own words.

How The Democrats Caused The Financial Crisis: Starring Bill Clinton's HUD Secretary Andrew Cuomo And Barack Obama; With Special Guest Appearances By Bill Clinton And Jimmy Carter - YouTube

Then there is this, from a 2006 report. The rise of Fannie and Freddie began long before Bush:

Another way to look at this unconstrained growth is that during the last 15 years, the
nation’s GDP doubled, the mortgage market tripled, Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s (the
Enterprises) guarantees quadrupled and their portfolios grew ninefold (Chart 1).

Your need to make up stuff about me just shows how frightened you are by the facts and your need to deny the truth

Nations that provide a higher level of funding for their health care systems provide a higher level of care for a cheaper price than ours does. The obvious truth is that socialized health care works better than what we have.

And the idiots in the govt are the politicians who are being bribed by Wall St and their corporate cronies.
Save the arm chair psychiatry for the neighborhood kids. The depth of your knowledge of the health care industry is laughable.

I believe it will continue to grow. Its the last gasp of about a third of America. They are scared. I believe their fear is real. Their blame is grossly misplaced is all.

Cool Jryan! It is people willing to stand up for our country that makes our Democracy work.
 
hmm? I'm just posting stuff.

Thanks, if I can't put my money where my mouth is, well then, I wouldn't be an American citizen.

As usual jasonxe ;)

I agree with you that it will grow, but I don't agree at all their efforts are misplaced. Since their goal seems to be to bring about an awakening in the country of what our priorities should be, it seems that making that point in the home of the most concentrated wealth and greed in this country seems to me to be the most appropriate place they could make that stand.

So what is your feeling about this video you posted?

My feeling on that video is.....

*barf* motion sickness....

Seriously though.... Why cant we ever get a clip of what was going on BEFORE the police action took place........
Even in this video it appears that the line got broke by the protestors and when the police began doing their job people flooded in to get closer and created the chaos....
 
Don't need anything in your state to protest an idea.

I'll do my part and join a Ron Paul sign bomb group in my county to End the Fed. Meetup group sometime this month to help the cause.

Which is class envy. Which has been fomented by the Democrats for two generations now. Those folks protesting do not represent a new phenomenon. They also do not represent some new revolt against government. What they represent is a last gasp to maintain hopes of the redistribution utopia that they thought Obama would make reality.

You may see it as a young growing movement. I see it as the death throes of the free-loaders.
 
The jobless rates are high for everyone. And I'm told that a number of all protests are current college kids, including teabaggers.

So what?

They are protesting the fact that in a nation that is supposed to have a govt by the people, of the people, and for the people, we have a govt that is controlled by big money interests

Our health care system is controlled by insurance and pharma corps, because that's what Wall St wants
Our financial system is controlled by banks and financial services corps, because that's what Wall St wants
Out food system is controlled by large argricultural corps, because that what Wall st wants
Our energy system is controlled by oil, gas, and coal corps, because that what Wall St wants
Our media is controlled by a few large corps, because that what Wall St wants

And our political system is controlled by Wall St, and the rightwing approves

Sounds like the gripes of a bunch of losers. I wonder id this is something new in America, because of the fear that comes out of a great recession like this or is this the malise that Jimmy Carter warned us about.
