J_Snow Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Since it seems the Government is now creating a big box to take on debt of the big 'could never fail' companies... I propose we add our own to it! Hey, if it's good enough for Fannie, Freddie and AIG-why not you and me.The Great American Debt Box I add:1 Mortgage on a primary residence What have you got to throw in the box?(remember now-this is just for fun... no politiking...)

willingtocope Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 What are the rules?Does it have to be an "asset" that isn't worth what you paid for it, but you still owe money on it?If that's the case, I'll throw in my student loans...oh...wait...I paid those off long ago. How about the PhD I got for $19.95 on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustaTexan Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Well while they are at it, why don't they just bail the whole country out? They can have my mortgage, my car note, my many cc's, and any future debt that might magically appear since I know they are picking up the tab.

J_Snow Posted September 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 I think I might get me a couple of beach houses down in Florida and throw those mortgages in there too! Hell, the precedent for greed has been set already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Nashville/Savannah Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 You all are crazy...our wonderful Congress (by abrogating their power to one man) has just increased the debt load on every (at lease every legal) citizen today and on our children about five generations further down the line.Our "free market" economy is disappearing faster than the houses along the beach did in Galveston last weekend...company's are now too "important" to let fail thus removing the consequences of their bad business decisions.Of course, when you get right down to it; it was Congress that started the mess in the first place back in the early/mid 90's by strong-arming lenders into making loans that should have never been made in the first place.
