I have read the comments on here, and find them rather amusing. The problem is with the people that make these comments! There is no difference between republicans and democrats. They are all blood suckers of the people, because they know that a majority of the people are sheep! If you want to save our economy, write your congressman or congress woman and tell them that there should be term limits on senators who have been in power for decades. And ask them to throw out the current tax code and have a single flat tax! The term limits would get fresh blood into an ailing, and aging system and a flat tax would cut out all of the special interests who get bills stuffed with pork and butchered. If these two things were to happen, I think that you would see the deficit begin to disappear! And bear one thing in mind, for all who read this; Socialism fails on every level. ie Nazi Germany and the former Soviet Union. Read your history!

How about Barney Frank's role- he was the one pushing high risk loans that led to this economy! The Dems scream Bush, its getting old. Billions to Acorn, a treasurey secretary who leads the IRS cheating in his taxes, Homeland Security calling Vets terrorists and terrorists nuances, Airforce One buzzing NYC, and 7 trillion in debt, Obama should put his clown outfit back on and go back to Chicago.

I agree with Ted if the money would have been given to the people instead of big business as usual things would prbably be better by now. It does not mater if it is Bush or Obama democrats or republicans. All the polititians care about is big busniness or what is in it to fill their pockets. This is suppsed to be a country for the people by the people it is truly a country by the rich fior the rich. LET THE BANKS AND AUTO MAKERS REAP THE HARVEST OF THEIR STUPID WAYS (GO UNDER). Why waist taxpayer money to fix a mess that will probably not work any way. LET THEM GO BROKE THEY BROUGHT THEIR PROBLEMS ON THEMSELVES. IT JUST PROVES PEOPLE WITH HIGH COLLEGE DGREES OR LOT OF MONEY REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY THINK THEY DO!!!!

MY MOTHER DIED IN 2007 DUE TO BAD DOCTORS AND A BAD HOSPITAL IN MANSFIELD OHIO OF HEART BYPASS SURGERY. NOT ONE POLITITIAN CARED ENOUGH TO HELP HER OR STOP THE HOSPITAL AND DOCTORS SO NO ONE ELSE WIL DIE. THAT HOSPITAL IS A JOKE I HAVE A LETTER FROM ANOTHER WOMAN WHO ALMOST DIED DUE TO A HEART BYPASS THAT THEY SCREWED HER UP BY INFECTION NOT ATTACHING THE VEIN THEY TOOK OUT OF HER LEG IN HER CHEST. SHE HAD TO BE SENT TO ANOTHER HOSPTAL AFTER GOING HOME AND COLAPSING OSU HOSPITAL SAVED HER LIFE. SHE IS NOW TOTALLY DISABLED DUE TO MANSFIELD NO ONE EXCEPT ME EVEN CARES ENOUGH TO HELP HER. I TRIED FOR BOTH HER AND MY MOTHER NO ATTORNEY WANTS THE CASE (TOO AFFRAID TO FIGHT). THE WOMAN SENT ME A LETTER AFTER MOMS DEATH SHE READ MOMS OBITUARY GOT MY ADDRESS.

It is time we as UniteD States cititzens take back this country and our rights it is now about big business or money it is suppsed to be about people IT IS NOT.

WE TRULY NEED TO TAKE BACK WASHINGTON THE STATES AND CITIES TO PROTECT THE AMERICAN HARD WORKING TAX PAYERS THE PEOPLE!!!!!!

STOP GIVING IN TO WHO EVER CRYS OR COMPLAINS THE LOUDEST OR THE MOST. POLITITIANS NEED TO LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE NOT WHATS IN IT FOR THEM!!!!!! WE ELECTED THEM THEY WORK FOR US!!!!!!!!!!!

wonder who actually taken the 2 trillions lost in CDS and assets value.....and yet banks and other instituition has only written less than 30% from their book....should the FED summarise the total provision taken so far? then we can really acess how much losses the bank n others will suffer in coming monhs..

mark to market...the old rules...why now change it?...be realistic...face the consequencs..provide fully the provision..if assets in future stabalise and increase abck in vale, can't the Banking Committe set a rule that all every quarter the ban can adjust back the book according to "mark to market"...then any increase in assets can be taken as exceptional gain...

all the big guns (banks, Insurance, hedge fund, etc..) are not keen to reflect their actual book value per share now by mark to market...

i strongly believe with the 2 trillion written as provision now...the Dow will go back to previuos low..

agreed?

I saw a copy of the market performance during the great depresion in smart money, It actually looks similar to what we got going now, of course this recession doesn't dip so low and will probally not last as long, but if history is any clue we still have several years ahead in the recovery proccess. probally be 70-80 % there within 2 yrs. remember how investors got rich then,,,buying stocks. pick solid companies, we'll eventually reap the rewards

I don't think any administrative "programs" will help if gas prices continue to rise. It is impossible for spending to increase across all economic sectors if the only increase in spending is going to the gas tank. Gas prices were the catalyst for the recession in the first place. The mortgage issues are mearly a symptom of that, not the cause.

I live for doom and gloom, oh wait thats the far right's view. Wake up people and quite letting the all the Neo-cons scare you so much. Yea things are tough, but few think it will get worse, just be patient and have faith.
