POPSWho Appears At The Intersection of Every Legislative and Regulatory Failing of the Mortgage System?by
merrie Yesterday 12:18 AM

CONTINUED ........ Consider the findings of the auditor: "Over 50% of the sub primes were for cash-out refi’s. Regardless of the loan criteria used to pull random samplings for audits, the majority of the last names were Hispanic. The loans I audited were primarily in CA, NV, AZ, FL, CO, compare those to the states with the highest number of foreclosures & illegal aliens." Now that we -- the taxpayers -- have ownership stakes in most of the large banks, I have three very simple questions for the new stewards of the banks -- our Congress: 1. What's the total percentage of subprime loans that have defaulted? 2. What's the total percentage of subprime loans that used a Matricular Consular card as the primary ID that have defaulted? 3. And how is it that Barney Frank -- who appears to be at the intersection of every legislative and regulatory failing of the mortgage system -- isn't being investigated by every agency in the country?

POPSBeware Of The IRS Tax Bite This happened to a friend of mine and I was shocked to learn she had to claim part of her forgiven debt as income. For people who have fallen on hard times, and are trying to pay their debt off--they are slammed with THIS. I think it's horrible and I think it gives people ZERO incentive to do the right thing.

POPSHOUSE OF FOOLS Get Out And Vote The Security Counsel of the United Nations was not elected. Climate Change leaders are not elected, not democratic, not basing their decisions of science. Ponder for a moment. Why do they want your money if they can't save the world. ALL IS VANITY. Climate Change taxes are fraudulent. Don't give them your money unless they can save the world (which they can't). I believe that Kyoto was designed to keep the whole continent of Africa in a state of servitude because it thwarts it's devellopement.

POPSFor Moonbats, the End of an Era "Maybe someday you’ll have a new generation of Kennedys to cover up for, to point out how they are turning their lives around after (fill in the blank) a cheating scandal, a drug scandal, a rape accusation, a blonde in the pond, an overturned Jeep on Nantucket, an extramarital affair with a polo player, a drug overdose, a waitress sandwich . . ." "Yesterday was Camelot Emancipation Day. For taxpayers, it was Christmas and the Super Bowl rolled into one."

POPSDid Reuters Yank Article “Backdoor Taxes Hit Middle Class”
I think it was the language used in the article that prompted Reuters to pull it. In particular, it was the series of phrases shown below that, combined with the one mentioned above, must have made the hair stand up on the back of Rahm Emanuel’s neck: “…effectively a tax hike by stealth.” “middle-class families will face a slew of these backdoor increases.” Perhaps the largest contributing factor to the article being yanked is a list of tax break provisions popular among middle-class families that Obama might allow to expire: * Taxpayers who itemize will lose the option to deduct state sales-tax payments instead of state and local income taxes. * The $250 teacher tax credit for classroom supplies. * The tax deduction for up to $4,000 of college tuition and expenses. * Individuals who don’t itemize will no longer be able to increase their standard deduction by up to $1,000 for property taxes paid. * The first $2,400 of unemployment ....

POPS Monetary Stimulus Produces Phony Recovery “Pres. George W. Bush…came into office when annual federal spending was $1.86 trillion. He proposed to increase spending at a healthy clip, rising to $2.71 trillion by 2011. “Bush and his team started blowing their budget almost immediately. They kept spending more and more " wars, a giant new homeland-security bureaucracy, a big-government response to Katrina, the prescription-drug bill, doubling K-12 education spending, big pay raises for federal workers, financial bailouts, and so on. I can’t think of a single crisis that occurred on President Bush’s watch that the Bush-Rove team didn’t have an interventionist and big-spending response to. “In Bush’s last year, FY2009, the government spent $1 trillion more than the Bush-Rove team had originally planned. It is true that 2009 spending included $112 billion for the Obama stimulus bill, so let’s take that out. With that adjustment, the Bush-Rove team ended up spending $916 billion more annually by 2009 than they had .....

POPS Stupid Is As Stupid Does little to focus on job creation over the past year. Discouraging people from coming to our state to make a political point adds insult to injury," said Republican Congressman Dean Heller. "Tourism is the number one economic stimulus for Southern Nevada and for many cities and states across the country. While we appreciate Las Vegas is top of mind for the President, we would ask that he offer words of encouragement instead of criticism," Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority President and CEO Rossi Ralenkotter said. President Obama is scheduled to visit Las Vegas this month. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs later clarified that Obama meant to target banks and other firms that received federal bailout funds. Gibbs said that the president believes in a strong tourism industry. Read more: http://nosheepleshere.blogspot.com/#ixzz0eUFxf5XG

POPSNASA Still Likes Killing Those Cute Little Animals I was alerted by PeTA in a newsletter, that these sorts of things were still going on at NASA. I was curious so I went to the NASA website and simply typed in "testing on monkeys" and page after page rolled in front of my eyes. It's hard for me to grasp the full extent of all of these tests, surely it's going to take a lot of time to investigate all of these look-ups. I guess my point is, I thought we had gone beyond all of this crap. A terrible waste of life and taxpayers money. I did my taxes yesterday and this is the first time I have ever had to pay such a large amount. Mind you, I have recently retired, and I have much less than before. I don't want my tax money to go to such ridiculous endeavors! Do You?

POPS9/11 Trial Moved from NYC: Problems Remain
A few hours ago this announcement was made. New proposed sites are nearby military bases. That seems reasonable. This clip, though, is not specifically about that news but a good background of what are considered some of the "problems," in all this. One unmentioned problem is that lawyers are going to get paid tens and tens of millions of dollars a year -- from taxpayers money - and they talk of the trial taking years. This is especially annoying since we've been told this guy tried to plead guilty when first appeared before one of Bush's kangaroo court ad hoc military tribunals he designed. Our concept (or illusions) of "fair trial," and "speedy justice," pretty well trashed. Just this photo in the clip, for example, which we've seen hundreds of times, is against international standards of justice and treatment of prisoners. And Republicans rejoice, seeing this trial move as a defeat for Obama!? -- Some talk of Obama as a Black Moses, --sorta weird. More like Othell

POPSTaxpayers Pay $101,000 For Pelosi's In-Flight 'Food, Booze' "And these documents suggest the Speaker's congressional delegations are more about partying than anything else." Pelosi, D-Calif., who joined President Obama on a list of Top 10 corrupt politicians, was added to that list for her "sense of entitlement," Judicial Watch said when the "honors" were announced not long ago. "Politicians believe laws and rules (even the U.S. Constitution) apply to the rest of us but not to them. Case in point: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her excessive and boorish demands for military travel. Judicial Watch obtained documents from the Pentagon in 2008 that suggest Pelosi has been treating the Air Force like her own personal airline," the evaluation said. Speaker's trips 'are more about partying than anything else' http://bit.ly/bAfrG2
