Higher Gas Prices Would "Ruin" Us
"I just don't understand the Democrats. Here they're preaching that George W. Bush has ruined the economy and we're in a recession, but yet they want to raise gas taxes 50 cents to save the earth. I would never vote for a Democrat after hearing this. This would ruin the whole U.S. if this would ever happen." - Boonsboro
Ok, so I don't like high gas prices either, but in case you haven't noticed, the gas prices are tied to the commodities markets and the commodities markets fluctuate when you have things like wars in the Middle East. If you don't like high gas prices then maybe you should rethink being a republican who believes the gas tax is the worst thing that could happen. If you want to lower gas prices then you would do well to write a letter to your president and let him know that the instability in the middle east is what he really ought to actually be working on sorting out. Don't blame the Democrats for something that the Republicans are just as guilty for in many other forms.
Subprime Loans not the Lenders Fault
"I would like to encourage those who have a subprime loan and who may be facing foreclosure or risking other financial problems because of their mortgage to consult an attorney to inquire about a class action suit against the predatory, unscrupulous mortgage lenders who inflated the financial condition of a borrower, just to sell a mortgage. All the evidence you need is right in the news every day. These loans never should have been approved, and these lenders knew it up front. If you, the American citizen, were robbed at gunpoint or someone broke into your home, the thief would be held accountable, so the predatory lenders should be, too. They are stealing your emotional security as well as your financial security. I am not a person who has been duped by this scam. I am a concerned citizen who is saddened for those put in - so go for it." - Sharpsburg

I know this is going to sound insensitive, but quite honestly, a subprime loan is not the fault of the lender, no one forced a person to take it, they did so willingly. As a matter of fact, a bailout of people who went into these kind of loans actually hurts those of us that acted responsibly and did not jump at something we knew was too good to be true. If a 25 year old knows better than to go after an ARM because it is too risky then why should someone that has actually had a house before not understand this. Don't go and start lawsuits that take my tax dollars away because we have to fund regulation that provides some type of special assistance for reading contracts so people don't get confused when they try and buy a house. Personal responsibility is what should be emphasized here, do your research, read the fine print and if something is too good to be true then it probably is. I'm sorry if people not doing this has already taken its toll, but I don't think it is anyone's fault but their own. The best way to stop this type of lending is to vote with your dollars and not take out the loans, do this and lenders will stop offering them.
