    Here is an economic plan that will not require a bailout. Why don't the government take the balance of the TARP's rescue funds and any future stimulus funds, place it into a CD with each bank that has received a portion of the original 700 billion dollars bailout, negotiate a return of 5-10 percent return on the money. Take the earned interest amount paid each quarter have the disbursed portion of earned interest put directly into a separate payroll account managed by a payroll service provider (i.e. ADP) that will pay the payroll obligations to any company seeking to stabilize its business during this or any recessionary period. This will secure jobs, allow the companies to concentrate on its growth, create an infusion of cash to the banks so that it could free up the credit crunch and begin to lend money, stimulate consumers' spending and most importantly, the principle amount of the tax payers' money placed in the CD will not be put at risk. This type of action will create transparency and accountability which can be implemented on January 21, 2009. The problem is that President-Elect Obama and the transitional team does not know it exist because I am not in the inner circle with contacts or have the President-Elect's ear. However, you as the reader(s) can be the judge. If you determine that the attached plan can jump start our economy, preserve our investments for the future and protect the tax payers' money in the process, let me know, tell your neighbors, your friends, family members, the media and especially your congressman or congresswoman that this is a plan of action that should be given immediate consideration. The solutions for the Housing & Job Crisis by using small businesses to jump start the economy, which can take effect on January 21, 2009.
    Stop & Prevent Foreclosure: Establish eligibility of loan modification within 72 hours and establish a safeguard procedure that will prevent the homeowner from re-defaulting on their loan modification agreement.
    Stabilize Property Values: Retention of home ownership in order to prevent declining sale value and reduce inventory of foreclosed properties where homeowners are in possession or retain title of ownership.
    Stimulate New Investments: Develop Partnership Investments. New tax structure to create incentives for high income earners above $250,000 per year which will create capital, job creation and business growth, without a tax increase.
    Create Job Growth: The program will match employers with employees who are enrolled. The job placement program projects a minimum employment growth of 100,000 new jobs per month, 30 days after the implementation of this program.This will create the business model the government can use for the 21stcentury economy that will ride on the innovation of the Internet.

    Let me introduce myself. I am sixty-four years old. I am a retired Economic Analyst, Financisher, Businessman,Investor,and Author. I have over forty years of being in the financial and business world.
    There is a major flaw in our economic theories!
    I wrote a book and several articles outlining new policies to cure economic crisis, now and in the future. A guide to correct a major flaw in our economic theories. John Maynard Keynes the British economist gave us a guide to help the economy out of the recession economic cycle. The problem is, he did not leave a handbook on how to correctly slow down the economy when it is so strong that it is creating an economic crisis. If you agree that these changes need to be enacted, support me in getting them enacted. In this way you will be doing something that will really improve the lives of the people of and families of America. The stock market should go up, replacing some of the value they have lost.
    We dont need a government jobs program or a bailout to cure the economic crisis. Recently we had the housing bubble, that got us into this mess, and the oil bubble in the commodities market. The Federal Reserve could not do anything about them, without killing our economy and disrupting the world economies. Find out why!

    WELL SAID BILL COSBY !!

    'They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English.
    I can't even talk the way these people talk:
    Why you ain't,
    Where you is,
    What he drive,
    Where he stay,
    Where he work,
    Who you be...

    And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk.

    And then I heard the father talk.

    Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads.
    You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.

    In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living.

    People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an Education, and now
    We've got these knuckleheads walking around.

    The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal.

    These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids.

    $500 sneakers for what?

    And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.

    I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit.

    Where were you when he was 2?

    Where were you when he was 12?

    Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol?

    And where is the father? Or who is his father?

    People putting their clothes on backward:
    Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?

    People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something?

    Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body?

    What part of Africa did this come from??

    We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don't know a thing about Africa ...

    I say this all of the time. It would be like white people saying they are European-American. That is totally stupid.

    I was born here, and so were my parents and grand parents and, very likely my great grandparents. I don't have any connection to Africa, no more than white Americans have to Germany , Scotland , England , Ireland , or the Netherlands . The same applies to 99 percent of all the black Americans as regards to Africa . So stop, already! ! !

    With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap .....And all of them are in jail.

    Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem.

    We have got to take the neighborhood back.

    People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different 'husbands' -- or men or whatever you call them now.

    We have millionaire football players who cannot read.

    We have million-dollar basketball players who can't write two paragraphs. We, as black folks have to do a better job.

    Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us.

    We have to start holding each other to a higher standard.

    " We cannot blame the white people any longer."

    McCain is calling for Stevens to step down? But, if it's true that he ran someone over and killed them in Virginia in 1964:

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/28/news-orgs-investigate-pos_n_138449.html

    Then shouldn't he step down? It seems he is a menace land, sea or air. Is that what Mavericks do? Anyhow even if he didn't take a life with a car - and the news services are pretty sure he did because the Navy is covering it up with great diligence - he is still looking a little "run-down".

      ROFLMAO You really want to go that far back? Maybe we should discuss a certain Ted Kennedy and an accident on a bridge? Maybe he should have been convicted way back then also. Maybe Obama should step down as he was born in Kenya and has yet to produce the birth certificate that was requested.

          Obama's mother was a US citizen, which makes Obama a US citizen, regardless of where you believe he was born. McCain was not born on US soil - he was born in the Panama Canal Zone - so your argument is moot.

    Two central issues in the election Barack Obama is wrong and misleading:

    1) No tax increases to those earning $250,000 or less promised by Obama, then he
    lowered this figure to $200,000, then the "Gift that keeps on Giving" Joe Biden says
    the number is $150,000 and just yesterday Gov. Bill Richardson says the figure is
    $120,000 ...and now a videotape is disclosed where it shows Obama recently stated
    that in the interest of fairness with taxes is around $80,000.00!!
    Sounds like good old fashion Democratic ???reverse auction ???tax policy they implement
    after they break their campaign promise to the American people.

    2) On national security ...Obama???s own VP running mate Joe Biden ... ???mark my words,
    this guy Obama is going to be tested by a generated international crisis within 6
    months of his Presidency..I guarantee it??? Obama will meet with USA's enemies with
    no pre-conditions!
    John McCain???s surge strategy in Iraq is working and its saving the lives of young
    American men and women in uniform serving there...Obama won't admit to this day
    the surge is working and he voted to cut funding for these military forces !!

    John McCain is Commander-In-Chief material ....Obama is just a cardboard "cut-out"
    candidate of the DNC.

    What's Wrong With "W"? --- George W. Bush's Political Troubles. PART 3.

    by Jordan C. Fan, Prophet Of Environment.

    (10) Seriouswo major political parties are too busy choking each other's throats than to care about corruptions and government inefficiency. Racial tension will prevent both side from criticizing each other especially on racial sensitive matters in the workplace and society. Political correctness forbids anyone from commenting on anything. (11) Lack of cooperation from the media. American media are extremely bias. Bush's strong arm policy and his challenging of the press have worsen the situation and washed away media supports. The situations were especially serious when many of Bush's policy are implemented without good reasons and full of loopholes. His confrontation with the media brought about his final demise. (12) I don't think John McCain should be penalized by mistakes made by his predecessors. George W. Bush is a spoiled heir to a well-to-do family while McCain is a well polished, fully trained, disciplined, tough and no nonsense soldier and politician. They are simply men of totally different breed. McCain will certainly perform better and have more motivation to achieve his objectives. McCain will challenge America's highly bias media, reuniting Congress and stamping out corruptions in government and corporations. (13) It is not the Intention of the Environment and God for any Democrats to be elected to any American government offices after the Bill Clinton Environmental deception. During this Halloween Season, election and other important matters especially those of competition in nature will undoubtedly control or release by my supernatural and spiritual forces. Anything can happen now with little or no predictions and protection to anyone. More than likely some Scarecrows who hidden behind the Bush will suddenly jump out to scare you or haunt us. So expect the unexpected! Additional branches on Bush should continue to grow or fall here during this highly catastrophic Fall Season and beyond, or you may want to add or subtract some of his failure. May the Environment and Great Spirits of Halloween prevail and bring about my success!

    What's Wrong With "W"? --- George W. Bush's Political Troubles. PART 2.

    By: Jordan C. Fan, Prophet Of Environment.

    (7) Also since the Civil War, the U. S. has been trying to destabilize the world. First they attacked Britain, Spain and then China during the Eight Nations Invasion (Boxer Rebellion) of the Qing Dynasty. After that, the U. S. had exported their rebellious ideology to countries such as Serbia to initiate and then participate in World War I. The U. S. also supported the British to start WWII. In addition, the U. S. has continuously staging revolutions, coups, protests and demonstrations using freedom, liberty, human rights and racial independence as excuses. Finally such U. S. strategy came back to haunt Bush and his efforts in the Middle East. The expansions have all failed due to human rights violation issues. Same situations also caused the American failure in Vietnam. (8) In addition to unity problems, the American economy have collapsed since the Great Depression of late 1920-30. The only reason they are still surviving is to use the method of "robbing Peter to pay Paul." To achieve such goal, the U. S. resort to massively wasting our world's natural resources on unnecessary and redundant projects. In many cases, Americans will simply throw away perfectly functional items so that they can manufacture new ones to stimulate industry. There were also welfare and research programs which have little or no clients. Their government also encourage fraud in those programs, in addition to forcing and harassing other countries into supporting American wasteful policies. (9) Failure of education programs. No matter how hard the American government has tried, their education programs failed. Americans are simply not in the mood to study. More than half of the school children never even bring their books home. Others are too busy participating in extracurrricular activities in sports and social events. At home, students are often too busy arguing, dating, watching movies/TV, playing music, video games, chatting on the phones and Internet. Most children were seriously affected by their financial and family problems to pay any attentions to study. Little or no one were interested in studying or other activities which could improve their employment qualification. Rich families will send their children to private schools. Most companies already have plenty of well trained high level workers and have no need to support education. In fact they need more lower level labors to fill routine jobs. The United States have no choice but to bring in immigrants or outsourcing to India to fill the gaps. This also resulted in income and export shortfall. The failure to overturn affirmative action at the Supreme Court has damage the quality of education further. (continue to PART 3)

    What's Wrong With "W"? --- George W. Bush's Political Troubles. PART 1.

    By: Jordan C. Fan, Prophet Of Environment.

    The next president should not follow Bush's foot steps. This title are words all started with "W." If you have seen the movie "W" you certainly will know what "W" represent -- George W. Bush. The following are my observations about "What's Wrong With W.": (1) George W. Bush's first mistake was to hire all Blacks for his foreign relation departments. To start his administration, Bush used Colin Powell as Secretary of State and Coni Rice as Foreign Policy Advisor. After firing Powell, Bush still insisted on using a Black woman - Rice as Secretary of State. Together, Powell and Rice have initiated numerous foreign policies which made the U. S. failed on all fronts. Quite obviously, they are all spying for Democrats especially when Powell is currently endorsing Obama. (2) Since the Secretary of State also control U. S. embassies aboard, they can make it much easier for Africans to immigrate to the U. S. whereby increasing the population of voters who will vote against the Republican Party. (3) Bush and Chaney were to too greedy in thinking Iraqi oil can bring them great fortune. Saddam Hussein had problems making money from his oil reserve during peace time. How can Bush and Chaney get profit from oil during a war? (4) Even before Bush took office, the United States was already in a recession. The U. S. government was simply presenting fictitious economic figures to recover up their financial troubles. They also try to improve the economy by increasing military spending. Increase military and related civilian employment will also improve employment statistic. (5) Ever since the Civil War, the United States were never "United." All the Americans could do is to tried to escape from their troubles by expanding westward based on their "Manifest Destiny" ideology. When they had reached the Pacific, Americans started to invade countries such as Hawaii, Philippines and Japan to start World War II. Until finally they reached China and its Korean ally, and were being stopped right at its track. (6) China is simply too vast and Chinese are too strong and intelligent for the American to defeat. So are the Vietnamese. The U. S. was defeated in Asia. There were little or no more colonies for the U. S. to fulfil its 'Manifest Destiny." Therefore the U.S. will have to disintegrate. George W. Bush has aggressively extended his destiny too far which have crossed over into other people's destiny. He had unwisely claimed the domains of Russian, French and British territory as his own which caused his failure in Iraq.

  • Posted By: Nins @ 10/28/2008 8:30:08 PM

    Obama has 63 Nobel Laureates working on his policy team. They are developing a plan to push America back to the top. Who is responsible for McCain's planning? Americans would be shocked to find that Douglas Holtz-Eakin is the sole person responsible for planning McCain's policy for America's future. Holtz-Eakin is also McCain's economic advisor, filling two full time positions on McCain's team. How can one single man (an economist) be responsible for developing a viable technology plan for our future? Obama has an enormous pool of the most intelligent, talented men and women in America working for him. Soon, they will be working for US.

    And let's not forget that the McCain campaign spent more on Palin's makeup artist than it did on it's foreign policy advisor. When you pay your makeup artist DOUBLE what you pay your foreign policy advisor, it is time to start examining your priorities.

    You look just fine without makeup, John. And Sarah is young enough not to need any. So cut the crap, and start paying some good ECONOMIC ADVISORS so you can have a fiscal plan to present to America. We're in the middle of a huge global financial meltdown, and you are worried about hair and makeup? PLEASE start worrying about the middle class, John. Please.

    2001 Chicago Public Citizen Radio Interview criticizing the Warren Court as not radical enough for not pursuing redistribution of wealth.

    Says that community organizing is for the purpose of assembling the political power to force redistribution of wealth.

    • Posted By: Nins @ 10/28/2008 8:29:19 PM

      Guess you are not much of a legal scholar, NFTT. If you actually get the entire transcript of that Public Radio interview, it becomes clear that what Obama said is that community organizers were naive to think that the court system was going to implement change for them, since the role of the courts is only to interpret and apply the law. Obama further said that any community group wishing to implement change would be much better off working inside the legislature to change the laws.

      The right-wing hate media took one snippet (not even an entire sentence, much less the entire thought), and replayed it out of context to make it seem like Obama was advocating using to courts to create redistribution of wealth.

      Of course, you probably already know this. Honestly, I think you are smart enough to be one of the people making up the lies, instead of being one of "base" who is being manipulated by the lies.

      You can take that as a compliment if you want to. But I don't mean it as one.

  • Posted By: Nins @ 10/28/2008 8:27:28 PM

    Taxation is and always has been a redistribution of wealth. Once you recognize that point, the question is, how are we going to spend the money we raise in taxes?

    For the past 8 years, our tax dollars have gone to killing civilians in Iraq and giving big payoffs to Halliburton (co-incidentally owned by the Cheney family). And since there wasn't enough in the Treasury to do this in style, we borrowed money from communist China and ran up the national debt to pay for it.

    Like 80% of Americans, I am sick of this particular redistribution plan.

    Obama's plan reduces taxes on 95% of Americans. The other 5% of us (who make over $250,000 a year) can afford to pay an extra 3%. That extra 3% comes out to only $300 for every $10,000 they make above $250,000. It's not going to kill them. In fact, if you make over $250,000 a year, $300 probably doesn't mean much to you. The other source of increased revenue will be making corporations that ship jobs overseas pay a higher share of tax. Right now, these corporations pay a lower share than companies that keep their employees in the USA. No more incentives to hurt America. We all can agree with that.

    Obama promises to go through the Federal budget line by line and cut all the wasteful spending. He promises to have transparency, a website where you can go and actually see the real Federal budget, not the made for TV version you can access under Bush.

    Furthermore, Obama's economic plans will lead to a strong economy, an educated workforce, more American based jobs, affordable health care, and freedom from foreign oil. We will regain our position as a world leader, a nation that spreads democracy not with guns and threats, but with prosperity and diplomacy.

    How do I know this? I read Obama's Blueprint for Change. And I compared it to what McCain had to offer (more tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy, more wars, a really inadequate health plan, and the stated intention of overturning Roe v. Wade). You really should visit the websites of both candidates and read their platforms.
