   I’m on CNN – listening to the interview Larry King did yesterday with Bill Clinton.

   Bill is talking about using Depression-era tactics to save homes for homeowners.

   I watched, he is still the President, but he’s a proven liar and is not deserving of the trust of the American people.

   With 40 days to a election that replaces him, I’d “just say no” to his $700 billion Wall Street bailout.

   This is yet another “we must attack Iraq NOW” style speech and if Paulson is in charge of the $$$ every member of Congress should vote against the proposal

   Chris Dodd is on. He is an effective spokesperson, I think.

   Sticking around? Did you hear back from mb?

   I am writing more Virgil Goode articles. Have you read any of the stuff I have been doing since the convention? (I know you commented on the video thing…)

   Yeah – switched over to MSNBC. Dodd did well.

   Didn’t hear from MB.

   Haven’t been reading much on blogs – been working trying to catch up since the convention. I’ll check out your blog

   Hey Shawn! Just say no is probably the right answer.

    Hmm – buy securities at MORE than what they are currently worth and HOPE that they will be worth even more later?

    I think I could come up with some securities to sell

    If Democrats and Republicans think this bailout stinks, how can it possibly pass? (Did we replace Congress with the Va Beach city council?)

    Vivian, have you looked at the real housing value numbers? … how many politicians would want to tell voters their $350K home is actually worth $200K?

    Yes, I’ve looked at the numbers. I’ve got clients in all parts of the business – mortgage companies, real estate firms, builders, etc – plus I’ve watched real estate sales in my own neighborhood. Do you really think Americans don’t know that our housing values have been a)overinflated in the past and b) falling now?

    Most Americans don’t know … and I’ll be most members of Congress don’t know that … Housing market value in 2000 was approximately $11 trillion (adjusted for CPI growth that number is $13.125) in 2007 that number had climbed to $21
    trillion … mortgage values adjusted to back to realistic valuations show the problem to far exceed what the public is being told … that number is not $700 billion but $7.875 trillion … or over ten times worse than what people are being told …
