AMERICA IS THIS WHAT Y0U WANT?
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU WILL GET IF MCCAIN BECOMES PRESIDENT.
John McCain’s New Mortgage Plan Is Worse than I Had Imagined Possibly, Even Given What I Know About John McCain
Douglas Holtz-Eakin says, this morning:
[W]e would in fact be taking the negative equity position and putting it on the taxpayers books instead of putting it on the private lenders books or the homeowners books. We think the balance of risk has shifted to the point where this is the way to go…
What does this mean? It means that John McCain wants to give $100 billion of taxpayers’ money to America’s worst-behaving mortgage financiers.
Let’s back up. For the past month the debate about how to deal with the collapse of the debt-trading portion of America’s financial markets has been between two plans: the Paulson plan and the Elmendorf plan:
The Paulson Plan: Have the government buy up distressed securities at market value, thus reducing the supply of high-yield debt securities that the private sector must hold. When you reduce the supply of anything you raise its price. Hence the Paulson plan’s $700 billion purchases will push the prices of risky debt securities up, and so companies will then be able to sell their bonds again and so hire more workers, and depression will be averted.
The Elmendorf Plan: Have the government directly invest in and take an equity stake in troubled banks, thus reassuring their depositors and creditors that they are sound. The banks will then be able to profit by buying up distressed securities–hence raising their prices–and by directly lending to companies that will then be able to hire more workers, and depression will be averted.
The argument for the Paulson plan was that the Elmendorf plan was socialism.
The argument for the Elmendorf plan was that it held the promise of doing a much better job of preventing depression, for each dollar committed to the Paulson plan reduces the gap between the demand and supply of distressed securities by only $1, while each dollar invested in a bank is then leveraged 8-to-1 as bank creditors and depositors are then willing to keep more money in the bank and so reduces the gap between the demand and supply of distressed securities by $8. Eight times as much bang for each federal buck, and the Elmendorf plan ensured that the taxpayers were protected to a greater extent: we did not just have the socialization of loss after the privatization of gain, we had the socialization of any gains that might occur if banks’ equity values ever recovered.
The argument for passing Paulson-Dodd-Frank was:
Time is of the essence: something needs to be done right now.
Paulson-Dodd-Frank has sufficient flexibility that Assistant Secretary Neel Kashkari and his successors can do either Paulson or Elmendorf, at their judgment.
The logic of the situation will over time drive Kashkari and his successors toward an Elmendorf-like solution as he deals in the markets.
Now comes John McCain with something worse than Paulson:
Ben Smith’s Blog: Moral hazard: Moral hazard My colleague Victoria McGrane, late of our Capitol Hill bureau, emails with the most lucid explanation I’ve seen of what McCain did last night. The crucial shift from a recent congressional housing bill to McCain’s more dramatic plan, she writes, was a move away from concern about moral hazard:
Details provided to reporters by senior adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin Wednesday morning make one thing clear: Taxpayers would directly pick up the tab for the difference in cost between a homeowner’s old, too-expensive mortgage and the cheaper one provided by the government… something that congressional lawmakers, led by House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) specifically avoided when they crafted their own landmark housing bill, which passed in late August and took effect Oct. 1.
Congress’ bill – which Holtz-Eakin says provides at least part of the authority McCain would need to carry out his plan – provided a $300 billion program to help distressed borrowers refinance into cheaper Federal Housing Authority mortgages. But to participate, lenders and mortgage investors would have to reduce the mortgage principal…
Not so McCain’s plan. McCain’s plan is for the government to buy up $300 billion of distressed mortgages not at current market value but at full face value:
“Clearly we face the trade off that we would in fact be taking the negative equity position and putting it on the taxpayers books instead of putting it on the private lenders books or the homeowners books,” Holtz-Eakin told Politico. “We think the balance of risk has shifted to the point where this is the way to go.”
The McCain plan is:
Take $300 billion.
Pay double current market value to banks that have troubled mortgages on their books, thus:
Give a present of $100 billion to the bankers who made the loans.
Acquire and regularize the mortgages of only two-thirds as many homeowners as could h
You are obviously a Obahama fan…which means your not a christain. I feel sorry for you and will pray for you as well. Please do us all a favor and get a life outside of politics! Have a great day:)

How do i get into marketing?
I am currently working as an Account Manager for an online marketing company. The role requires in depth knowledge about email marketing, and all types of campaigns – but unfortunately not any other forms of marketing. I’m regularly developing successful campaign ideas for clients, and i can confidently say i know more about this field than my clients ( who are marketing managers/execs).
Where i lack, is the broader marketing experience – I touched upon Marketing Strategy in Uni, and was wondering what i’d need to be considered for an entry level job? Would it be best to do a CIM or Masters? Ideally i’d like to go into online marketing – or e-marketing.
There is plenty of money to made in online marketing, it is very easy to get started, and with your background and knowledge you should succeed. The most important aspect of email marketing is building your opt-in list and building your relationship with that list. Provide excellent quality and useful content and your list should buy from you time and time again.
Learn the other aspects of marketing by teaching yourself, reading books and studying online. Start marketing online in your spare time and as your income grows you will be able to quit your day job. Good luck.

Has anyone heard anything about the company: TheBulkPower.com?
It is an opt-in bulk email website. I am looking for an inexpensive real estate email list that is opt-in. And before everyone jumps on me and starts lecturing about spam and bulk email – this is an OPT-IN list only. It means that they WANT this information and ASKED to be on this list. So please do not simply answer that spam is bad or something along those lines just to gain points. This is a legitimate marketing question. If anyone knows of a good opt-in real estate email list other than TheBulkPower.com, I’d appreciate it. Thank you.
I would contact a realtor that I trust and ask for a recommendation. You can also look in your local yellow pages for a list under Direct Mailers.
Make sure the list is up to date and accurate

Why Does Yahoo Keep Deleting Me?
I am really trying to figure out what I am doing wrong, so that I can fix it.
After being deleted the first time, I worked to make sure that I did not post any controversial answers, questions or information. I answered marketing questions only with my new account and followed the guidelines completely (I thought). It didn’t matter… I was deleted again.
I sent an email to Yahoo explaining in detail that I had followed the guidelines, but they just replied that I did not follow the guidelines. I tried getting specifics on what guideline I broke, but received no response.
Any help or tips?
This is my third time trying and I’m just trying to find out what other reasons I may have been deleted for.
By looking at your answers my only guess is that you advertising your business perhaps too often.
That might have gotten the attention of the trolls.
Trolls are on Y/A what booters are in the Yahoo chat rooms.
They are full with hate, and jealousy and they get their kicks by reporting others for no reason at all.
Perhaps you need to block public view of your Q/A.
Good luck..

Crazy question put on the radio? What do you think?
First off I listen to drex in the morning 103.5 I love it! Anyway, a lady listener emailed the dj this topic. She was wondering if people that have std’s like herpes should be in a job market handling food.
Her experience was that one day on her way to work she stopped a local coffee shop for some expresso. Anyway, the guy who took her ordered had what she claimed to be herpetic lesions all over his mouth. The lady was so grossed out she did not order anything. She came up with the solution that when a worker has noticeable lesions they should not be allowed to be in the front part of an establishment. What do you think?
I used to work at a health food store 2 years ago. There was this customer who had something that looked herpetic lesions that covered is mouth. He had this lesions the whole time I worked there, which was 4 yrs. He would purposely get up in people faces, lick his fingers when he would count his money and try to touch peoples faces. My bestfriend who worked with me refused to wait on him.
Wow, that’s nasty. First and foremost, I do believe that something like that on someone so severely noticeable should not be permitted in the workplace handling food. That’s just like someone being sick to me. They have medicine available for things like that. The person handling the food should actually know better. They can clearly see that they have something blatently disgusting on their mouth. In my opinion, they should take a few days from work and come back when they have it taken care of. If they don’t know better, it’s the managers’ duty to let them know!
