    Let them fail. They will be back. They will lend money again. They cannot resist fleecing us we are the only game in town. Time is something we should understand. Believe me "Wall Street" does. Reply

    "But the fact remains, the economy needs liquidity and the best proposal so far has been the $700B TARP plan."

    No. The best plan has been insuring the debt, not buying it. And massive cuts in government and taxes.     Reply

    Great perspective on the "bailout" plan by Cramer. The mortgage lenders and bankers operated as they were allowed to operate based on legislation passed by the Clinton administration. This economic crisis is a result of the democrats method of allowing low income/no income citizens to obtain housing and live the American dream. Then the greed of brokers and those closely connected to the real estate industry saw opportunity to get rich quick. Now the entire country is paying the price. We still have the best country in the world and we had better appreciate it and do what we can to continue to live as well as we do. #1 priority get the economy of the country back on track. #2 Then figure out how to hold the upper managment who knowingly broke the law and covered up results accountable..

    no the best plan is let them fail meaning wall street , and instead of giving them 700 billion give to all the taxpayers to pay off their motgages. then the banks will recoup most of thier money and the taxpayer can have more money to spend

    I agree. Anyone who bought a house with a mortgage they could not afford should lose everything. Those citizens who lied about income or assets to receive mortgages should lose everything and be prosecuted o the fullest extent of the law. Firms that made bad bets should have all of their equity wiped out. Shareholders who voted for Directors who in turn approved exorbitant compensation packages have no one to blame but themselves for said compensation. But the fact remains, the economy needs liquidity and the best proposal so far has been the $700B TARP plan. Reply

    Bush and you Cramer fail to say the finacial terrorists who put Americans in this predicament SHOULD BE PUNISHED! No one adresses this important ISSUE. Each and everyone should be stirpped of every penny and asset and thrown in jail for life. The charge TREASON against the United States of America. There are many people who know what is going on and we are spreading the facts and we are leigon. Here is one for all you people out there, You know why it got worse this week? Becuase Bernake has pulled 125 billion in Liquidity out of the system since 9/18/08. This has caused credit spreads to widen and credit to become more expensive, The question is if we are in such dire straits why pulll the Liquidity, Why? To force the bailout through without questions. And Bernanke said on 9/23 that the toxic debt should be bought by us ,the taxpayers at maturity rates based on flawed computer models that were based on home prices increasing NOT declining. which means way above where they were when sold in first place. And that is why GS and MS became bank hoding companies now. They get a tax advantage in buying debt from converting , yes more oversite and regulation BUT A HUGE TAX ADVANTAGE. And after a few months the treasury will begin to sell the debt to the both of them for pennies on the dollar saying they have no choice the American people need to recuop as much as possible to lower the national debt. This has been all planned out from Day 1 and now the only thing holding back this bailout is who gets what, the Democrats and Republicans are cutting up the booty and arguing over who gets what, its a done deal and has been since announced. You are being played and the only way to avert this is by calling your senators and representatives and saying no way , no how, let them go bankrupt. AND PROSECUTE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW THE THE TREASONUS ACTS THAT WERE COMMITTED AGAINST AMERICAN CITIZENS! Reply

    What a crock of you know what. Cramer says
    "The American People are more concerned with punishing Wall Street bankers than making sure the ATM spits out money the next time they need it."
    Fact 1) the US citizen and his offspring will be paying this off for generations to come and there is more debt we will be taking on than they are admitting to. If you don't believe me then consider this:
    Fact 2) Paulson has not told us the truth once in the last four months, do you think he has all of a sudden changed his ways?
    Fact 3) These bankers cut off our knees and then we are to be grateful if the government turns around and promises us a wheelchair?
    Fact 4) Stop the BS Cramer, it is a bail out and not "investing in America" and to be more accurate, its the "destruction of America" and it was done by the greedy bankers on wall street who knew what they were doing, knew it was in many cases illegal and sold us out while they got rich.
    Fact 5) the dollar will dive, our great great grandchildren will be paying off this ever increasing debt because Paulson is going to print money that does not exist and the taxpayer will be eating it forever.
    Fact 6) If the debt is greater than we are being told, the dollar sinks and sinks and our grand children are to be burdened with this debt the least Paulson and Congress can do is send many of these people to jail because what these bankers did was literally illegal. When I hear on the news that Ben and Paulson want to stop this from happening again I know they are spinning a lie, because I do not hear any of them saying "to prevent this from happening we preparing a case for prosecution." Just like a drug smuggler that gets caught, we are going to seize all of these CEO's and VP's assets and send them to jail, that is the best way to prevent this from happening again. We do not need more oversight or rules, just enforcement of the ones we already have. Seizing their assets and sending them to jail is a great start and will send a message never sent before: You were paid millions to invest in America not in yourself, you abused your responsibility, were not worthy of the job, committed crimes and now you will pay"

    Anything less makes Ben and Paulson accessories to the crime.

    Masco Corporation: Reckless Endangerment [view article]
    I too am a MASCO employee; at least for a little while. I understand cut-backs, but some of the bonehead business decisions that have been made recently (actually in the planning stage since before the downturn) leads me to believe some of these corporate jerks have no business being in their positions. Many are only looking for “yes men” to help promote their agenda. What is their agenda? Make the company look as profitable as possible during their stint. Who cares about the next 10-20 years? Advancement, power and BONUSES are what’s important, right?

    More often than not, a company’s most valuable asset is overlooked. This is definitely the case within some of the divisions. It will be interesting to see how far things go before someone steps in and “grabs the bull by the horns” and fixes some of the recent “fixes”.

    If you are a MASCO employee feeling the crunch now, you better start looking for another job if you haven’t done so already! I’m sure the employees in each division are seeing different degrees of change, but I can tell you this… it’s going to get worse before it gets better. This is Corporate America at its best.
