POPSA Host Of Unemployed Citizens Face The Grim Problem Of Existence
This is also the speech that coined the phrase "the only thing we have to fear. . .is fear itself." We have faced these problems before. We must prepare for the worst, but hope for the best, and work toward that end. I doubt very much Obama will be frank with us but will continue the illusion that he is serving the people. We must remain vigilant and work to recover our country. Our Constitution can be our guide. Our forefathers game plan worked. Read their words of wisdom. When a nation changes its way of thinking, it will change its actions and lead us away from where we are. Be the change you want to see. What to do? Take your pick from this list. We the People of the United States, in Order to FORM a more perfect Union, ESTABLISH Justice, INSURE domestic Tranquility, PROVIDE for the common defense, PROMOTE the general Welfare, and SECURE the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ORDAIN and ESTABLISH this Constitution for the United States of

POPSSchoolhouse Rock - lyrics & links to videos on YouTube I got an urge to hear the Preamble again: In 1787 I'm told Our founding fathers did agree To write a list of principles For keepin' people free. The U.S.A. was just startin' out. A whole brand-new country. And so our people spelled it out The things that we should be. And they put those principles down on paper and called it the Constitution, and it's been helping us run our country ever since then. The first part of the Constitution is called the preamble and tells what those founding fathers set out to do. We the people, In order to form a more perfect union, Establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, Provide for the common defense, Promote the general welfare and Secure the blessings of liberty To ourselves and our posterity Do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

POPSPost-bailout AIG spends $440,000 for "retreat" at a California resort Congressman Waxman also said that there was evidence that the former CEO changed the bonus schedule in order to insure that top executives would continue making multi-million dollar salaries, even as their company went broke. "Mr. Sullivan and the other top executives should have had their bonuses slashed due to poor performance," said Waxman. Sullivan received a $15 million golden parachute payment when he was let go in June, says ABC.

POPSLehman Bros Failure Looms, Stock in Free Fall Bear Stearns was first, then Freddie and Fannie last week, now Lehman is at the plate, and Washington Mutual on deck. The latter two are likely to strike out financially like the previous, all in the ninth inning of Bush's term and an inept Congress. (Democrats scramble to freeze foreclosures in an election season, which only delays the inevitable for people who have defaulted, and further stresses lenders who cannot liquidate bad debt.) As the article says, if they do, the Fed will ride in, absorb the debt and print the money for it (causing a weaker dollar, and thus inflation), as the major banking institutions of America become virtually Nationalized, and the Government will then play the Collection agency for defaulted loans. The mirage of America's financial prosperity and stability is falling, and as the Fed chairman warned a week ago, the fallout has not even begun.

POPSHospitals deporting immigrants This just reminds of a video they have in LA of a hospital dropping off a woman at the homeless shelter because she did not have health insure. She was still in her hospital gown & they just dropped her off on the corner in downtown LA. Something is really wrong with our health care system. Seriously seriously wrong.

POPSWhat is the FDIC? Is your money safe? This is a primer on what the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is all about. =============================== The FDIC was created, over the vociferous opposition of its beneficiaries—the banking industry—in the dark spring of 1933, when 4,000 banks had closed. Francis Sisson, then-president of the American Bankers Association, thought the idea of having banks kick in to a fund that would insure individual banks against losses--and the entire system against the contagion of bank runs—was "unsound, unscientific, unjust, and dangerous." But it worked. In 75 years, no insured deposit—the current limit for a regular account is $100,000—has been lost

POPSBeating a Dead Horse I've commented on this topic many times over the past months, so why not give it one more go. There are two groups responsible for the mortgage mess - the individuals who took out exotic mortgages on houses they couldn't afford, and the financial institutions who sold them those mortgages. I understand we can't let the system fail, but I see no reason why my tax dollars have to go towards helping bail these two groups out. They made terrible decisions. All a bill like this does is reinforce stupid behavior, because if we fail, the government will bail us out. If you had your home re-possessed, it's because you couldn't afford it in the first place. If a financial institution is going down because of all the write-downs they've had to take on bad mortgages, it's because their leadership authorized bad decisions. Are there some exceptions to the above - sure there are. But those aren't the situations that this bill is addressing.

POPSGender can cost you in individual health insurance "Perhaps this is partly because women are more likely to seek preventive care, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. But this should make them better insurance risks. After all, they're proactively working to stay healthy. And isn't that exactly what insurers encourage people to do? "It doesn't make any sense," said Alice Wolfson of United Policyholders, a San Francisco-based advocacy group. "The insurers aren't assessing risk. They're assessing how much healthcare is used, even when it's preventive treatment." A spokesman for the California Department of Insurance said there were no regulations preventing gender-based pricing for individual policies."
