Bail-out plan rejected (happy or unhappy)

BMWI6 · 09-29-2008, 05:16 PM

With the bail-out plan rejected (for now at least) because I think they will pass it eventually. Who is in agreement that they should not pass it? or who thinks it will benefit us (the general public). I believe it will do more harm in the long run as it is money that the gov. does'nt really have.

You should make this a poll.

I dont know much about the economy, but for right now I do not want them to pass the bail out plan. they havent told us much about the consequences if it does pass. All they are saying is that it will help out the economy, How i dont know. I think the dems are saying that they want more money. can anyone shed some light on this subject because they arent telling us how it will be repaid.

It will NOT be repaid. They are just bailing them out and will keep a closer eye now so this does not happen again hopefully.

Kbueno · 09-29-2008, 05:41 PM

Kinda surprised at the poll right now. We definitely need the bail-out. Do I like it: NO! But we need to be saved from ourselves....too much greed, unfortunately. Those of us in the development sector are feeling the squeeze...it looks real bad guys.

if passed....it just sending a message to financial institutes that they can get away from what they've done....

PLAYON · 09-29-2008, 05:42 PM

Can someone outline the PROS and CONS of the Bailout Plan? (stickypaws where you at???)

specialque · 09-29-2008, 05:43 PM

honestly, it's a good thing it didn't pass. It's not really going to help us. It's patch, it doesn't really fix anything, it just covers it up. The market will always trend to equilibrium. All this is doing is bailing out banks that made horrible investments. I ask you, if you made a bad investment would that government bail you out? The answer is no.

I know it sucks about all those people with losing their jobs, but you know how much this $700B is going to cost us taxpayers? It's ridiculous. Throwing money at a problem won't make it go away. The American economy is fundamentally broken and that needs to be addressed.

Yes, it will have to be repaid. If they "borrow" the money, it has to be repaid, if they "make" more money, that money has to come back and be taken out of circulation otherwise we have severe currency devaluation.

What they've done??? They contributed by allowing it, but we screwed ourselves on this one.

DenverJayhawk · 09-29-2008, 05:52 PM

It will be repaid in the future. Mortgages are just like any other assets. The idea is that the Government will take ownership of these depreciated loans at a low value point and hold them. Then they will sell them back to investors when the credit market strengthens. This is exactly what the Fed did in 1989.

Here's a good 50k foot overview of the entire credit mess and why this person (who's somewhat of an authority) thinks the bail out is a bad idea.

iheartsole · 09-29-2008, 05:59 PM

by passing this 700 billion bail out plan it will just let wallstreet & big corporations/banks let them know they can get away with anything. NO it will not Help us the American people, but help those companies that are in debt. why would any of you agree for Bush or whoever to pass this plan. Our Economy has to work/pull together fo fix the problem if anything. Not print more $ and make our US dollars weaker. Yes, this is a big crisis right now and we are in a recession that will prob take some time to fix.
