I must have been watching a different vice presidential debate because I was actually screaming Joe Biden for president at the end of it. Imagine my surprise when I turned on the television this morning and found that people were celebrating her performance, or rather the fact that she made it through. What? She got crushed and should be embarrassed. Is she? No. Are we? No. Why? Because she represents what we really think about women in this country — they are strictly for show. All style and no substance, like Palin.

RE: 90 woman who shot herself over repo of her home of many years…..The people involved in any shape or form in foreclosure on her home should be ashamed and made to tend to her care and costs and the mortgage wiped out, and not taken from her family if she does pass away. You all should support her. I have to say what a disgrace the United States is. This sounds like something they would do in CHINA. The people involved with WALL STREET should be ashamed of themselves and made to pay in some shape or form with taxes,
retirement packages decreased,reforms,delisted from their classification of being investors,benefits pulled etc. They need to pay a price for the loss they’ve caused others and the USA. A fund should be established for the 90 woman for all costs medical,homecare, her home mortgage erased,and the cost of rebuilding what little life she has left after many years of trying to tend things on her own -the nerve of them all to leave notices on this women’s door who is almost 100 years of age- disgusting what the USA is doing so little for people who are hardworking and not just LAZY PENCIL PUSHING investors and company owners who are sucking money from old and hard working with disgusting money making schemes that are complex and many old,middle age and young folk can’t see the complex SCAM of mortgages they were roped into while the mortgage companies take advantage
of people,talked them into these schemes knowing the people would loose in the end one way or another. Take from the LAZY PENCIL PUSHERS on Wall Street-and in the government offices.
TAX/investigate probe and punish them with a higher tax etc,make them pay a price for the scheme that has affected far too many-WHAT WERE YOU all thinking there in the USA? YOU President? at the whitehouse could have read the fine pri stopped this agees ago-did you think about any of this or just sign the papers and go to the ranch? You have created a huge lack of faith in USA with this mess going on do you not think its going to make the USA volunerable in many other ways??? Take from the RICH add a tax and give it back to the poor and old who deserve it -do not make the low income and older folks pay for YOUR inability to see this and stop this from happening. SHAME ON YOU!Imagine if this was your mom who tried to shoot herself amongst many others there. You better hope this woman survives gosh I would love to take her in,someone should help her with the home people have to consider the homeshare pay towards cost of sharing a home with proper police checks it can be done.This woman needs to be compensated for the fear anxiety she must have been presented with my god forgiveable loans are available for the old folk via cmhc for repairs upgrades to homes etc THE USA is so out of control it appears over there its like a FAMILY with kids out of control only its the USA with the many government positions not being properly attended and
checked upon the homework is just signed not really read or looked at by the ABSENT PARENT “your” PRESIDENT and his boys….how shameful this is to let this spiral out of control like a kid(section of government)
left to flaunder on its own sink or swim -many kids/money schemes don’t swim when not monitored or the homework isn’t checked thoroughly the communities pay the price, the domino affect this is having on the people will go down in History-the lack of faith respect and trust in the United States will be a domino affect with other states matters with this huge error that could have been prevented The USA is looking pretty weak& vulnerable. I hope people who have a kind heart of over there show some support financially for this poor 90 year old lady and support her continually, as you would wish for yourself when you reach her age-Amazing she has lived this long over there with stresses she has lived through we have much to learn from her.I hope to hear on your news that she has been given lots of love and help in many shapes and forms. There should be a special fund setup for people behind in payments young and old that need help before they loose everything they at one time and still do in most cases work so hard for.
Re: Money Deal/90 Yr Old Lady
Sorry was trying to edit this…so here is the final version – and how many people read this anyway I wonder. Why who What when needs to be investigated -on how this came down, why it was let go this long -the money disaster there that is now part of history while Bush was in office. Many words of concern listed here, sorry I hate to see poor limited income people suffer more needlessly excuse my ramble!
Why do the little people have to pay for big peoples mistakes?
Why do people get away with breaching job contracts and agreements….who should have caught this mess brewing a long time ago- he or she breached their job contract.They should be paying not the tax payer who signed/agreed to nothing stating they the tax payers would pay for employees mistakes who do wrong or do not do their job. Someone did not do their job they were hired for in government-what ever insurance’s are in place like doctors have for doing wrong -same should go into effect so tax payers do not pay for this mess. I might be wrong in saying the following but I do have a stepmom and many step relatives over there, loved visiting there always did want to live there at one time.
+++700 billion and Sweet Deals as well?? How can this be good? Like a parent paying a high price for being asleep or out fooling around with parties etc all the time while the children were getting into trouble,
stealing,cheating,and not being watched over, made to do their school work. Seems this is what Bush has done with his guys in gov. who should have been on to this ages ago had they been doing their school work!A really sad disgusting shame this all had to happen, and deals/tax breaks or money given to what class of people/companies/countries and your own little poor people have more taken from them -get a grip over there!!!I wish I could help get the thinking back on track there!
RE: 90yr old WOMAN who shot herself over repo of her home of many years. I would love to send her a card at least. The people involved in any shape/form in foreclosure on her home should be ashamed of themselves, made to pay for her care,homecare, modifications to her home,everything for damages they caused her and shortening her life.The mortgage wiped out, and not taken from her family if she does pass away. You all should support her.What a disgrace the United States is at this point and it could have been avoided. This sounds like something they would let happen in CHINA or some other country not the USA.
The WALL STREET people should be ashamed of themselves and made to pay in some shape or form with taxes,retirement packages decreased, reforms,delisted from their classification of being investors,bonuses audited&pulled etc. They need to pay a price be punished for the loss they’ve caused others, the whole of USA. A fund should be established for the 90 woman for all costs medical,homecare, her home mortgage erased,and the cost of rebuilding what little life she has left after many years of trying to tend things on her own -the nerve of them all to leave notices on this women’s door who is almost 100 years of age- disgusting what the USA let happen. Tax credits for the low income hardworking and not just LAZY PENCIL PUSHING investors etc who are sucking money from old and hard working with disgusting money making investment schemes that are far too complex for many old,middle age and young folk who could not realize the negative outcome, the complex SCAM of mortgages they were roped into while the mortgage companies took advantage
of people,talked them into these schemes knowing the people would loose in the end one way or another. Take from the LAZY PENCIL PUSHERS on Wall Street-and in the government offices who let this happen.Tax and investigate probe and punish them with a higher tax etc,make them pay a price for the scheme that has affected far too many-WHAT WERE YOU all thinking there in the USA? YOU Mr.President? at the Whitehouse could have read the fine print (your not a math man I guess but maybe pre-occupied with leaving office and let this serious financial disaster slide, come on this is not normal to let this slide out of huge control) you could have stopped this ages ago-did you think about any of this or just sign the papers and go to the ranch? You have created a huge lack of faith in USA with this mess going on. Do you not think its going to make the USA appear and act vulnerable??? Take from the RICH add a tax and give it back to the poor and old who deserve it -do not make the low income and older folks pay for YOUR inability to do your homework& see this and stop this from happening. SHAME ON YOU!Imagine if this was your mom who tried to shoot herself amongst many others there that could be thinking the same -at feeling they were going to put you on the streets& time to give up on life. You better hope this woman survives. Say your sorry.I would love to take her in..I’m in Canada you must have guessed already. Someone should help her with her home.People may have to consider a program home share/pay towards cost of sharing a home with proper police checks it can be done.This woman needs to be compensated for fear anxiety,
and stresses she was presented with,the health effects the threats of taking her house caused her. My god forgivable loans are available for the old folk via cmhc for repairs and
upgrades to homes etc -do you not have that or even better available there????THE USA is so out of control over there-its just like a FAMILY with kids out of control only its the USA with the many government positions not being properly audited and
checked,the homework is just signed not really read or even looked at by the ABSENT parent
“your” PRESIDENT,his boys are paid 100% to stop this from happening to The United States.
How disgraceful,and shameful this is.Out of control like a kid(section of government ? finance)
left to flounder on its own sink or swim (who care’s I’m leaving office soon/like a parent going through a divorce and not caring about the kid/section of government/finance nearing catastrophe)many kids/money schemes don’t swim when not monitored/audited and double checked,the homework (money finance schemes/deals) were not checked thoroughly initially, during initial stages to make sure right course of action taken or an action stopped. The many states,people even kids pay the price in some shape or form.This mess will be history,a negative and never forgotten.
There may be a lack of confidence
in your economy,a domino affect with other state matters. The USA looks weak& vulnerable with this financial disaster this could affect dealings outside of the United States. I hope people have a kind heart, show some support financially for this poor 90 year old lady, support her continually, as you would wish for yourself when you reach her age.Amazing she has lived this long over there with stresses she has lived through we have much to learn from her.I hope to hear on your news that she has been given lots of support,love and help in many shapes and forms. There should be a special fund setup for people behind in payments young and old that need help before they loose everything they at one time and still do in most cases work so hard for.Is there not a tax credit for giving to charity and can people not give money to a charity fund that helps/gives people rent or mortgage payment help? If it’s not available why not?
Consider Adopt a grandparent fund, adopt a below income homeowner fund,single parent, adopt a low income family -these are all suggestions that all those lovely church groups big and small,firemen’s association,rn’s association, doctors groups, neighborhood associations,even companies,financial associations each of these groups and many more ….such Wal-Mart, JC Penny’s,women’s groups,talk shows, etc should be able to adopt a person or family to support it and should be given good tax breaks to do so. Create a tax cut/Adopt a person,family,or grandparent who is struggling.Help them with some or all: monthly groceries,
mortgage,medical costs, dental, rent,utilities,clothing,xmas with on-going support etc. Far to many people are falling through your gaps there for lazy sloppy reasoning….make a difference, get off your chair or lift your arm in your chair and make a call,volunteer to help others keep their home’s, have a roof over their head, and have the basics in life during this very tough times. If you have created these groups wonderful!Find more volunteers to help others swim and not sink help others to help themselves during this financial storm!
