Both presidential nominees expressed support for the government’s plans. Senator Barack Obama, Democrat of Illinois, said as he campaigned in Indiana that not acting could place the housing market in further distress.

 

What does he know, he’s not an economist, and I thought he wanted to ease the tax burden on middle America? Adding hundreds of billions of dollars (they’re claiming into the tens of billions and “couldbe among the most expensive rescues ever financed by taxpayers” but they’ve proved time and time again to severly underestimate these fuckups) to America’s debt (the only possible place for this money to come from is the same sovereign wealth funds that we are bailing out, but now we’ll owe it back with compounded interest) is not taxpayer friendly to any strata of society.  

Senator John McCain’s running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, said at a rally in Colorado Springs that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have become too big and too expensive.

 Too big and too expensive for everyone but the American taxpayer to fix by way of more debt to bequeath to our grandkids’ grandkids. Don’t kid yourself, we’ve doubled our debt in the last 8 years and it’ll be a huge fucking miracle if we don’t continue that for the next 8. 

Both the Obama and Palin (don’t kid yourself, Palin’s the only thing McCain’s got going for him at this point) promise change in Washington, claim their a threat to the status quo. But they speak out of both sides of their mouths.
