re: #77 doriangrey

Canadian Bacon... ...

Well I wouldn't mind trading!

It's revealing to go back in time (New York Times, 1999) to see what was said about subprime mortgages:

In addition, banks, thrift institutions and mortgage companies have been pressing Fannie Mae to help them make more loans to so-called subprime borrowers. These borrowers whose incomes, credit ratings and savings are not good enough to qualify for conventional loans, can only get loans from finance companies that charge much higher interest rates -- anywhere from three to four percentage points higher than conventional loans.

''Fannie Mae has expanded home ownership for millions of families in the 1990's by reducing down payment requirements,'' said Franklin D. Raines, Fannie Mae's chairman and chief executive officer. ''Yet there remain too many borrowers whose credit is just a notch below what our underwriting has required who have been relegated to paying significantly higher mortgage rates in the so-called subprime market.''

Obama's advisor solved that problem.

Nobody can say we weren't warned:

In moving, even tentatively, into this new area of lending, Fannie Mae is taking on significantly more risk, which may not pose any difficulties during flush economic times. But the government-subsidized corporation may run into trouble in an economic downturn, prompting a government rescue similar to that of the savings and loan industry in the 1980's.

''From the perspective of many people, including me, this is another thrift industry growing up around us,'' said Peter Wallison a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. ''If they fail, the government will have to step up and bail them out the way it stepped up and bailed out the thrift industry.''

It depends are where you are. It is a global problem tho'. The Saudis are no longer going to be growing wheat in a year or two because the irrigation requirements are draining the aquifers and they need the water for urban areas - and they are experts at desalination. It's a serious problem in China, where they have land that theoretically is arable - but no water.

It was Clinton who pushed for regulations promoting subprime loans. This was part of a larger banking law. From 1999:

And up until a few weeks ago, the Clinton Administration itself had threatened a veto of the legislation as it took various forms that raised a series of White House objections. In recent months, the administration objected most sharply to the issue of rules requiring that banks make loans in minority and low-income communities where they operate.

Gramm, an outspoken conservative who opposes the rules, last year managed to kill a similar bill that would have overhauled the community lending laws. The White House insisted that banks be required to have a strong track record in local loan-making as a condition for being allowed to expand into other financial activities.

One person called in and said what needed saying: Barring price caps on everything, raising the minimum wage only provides a one to three month boost in minimum wage earner's buying power. Everyone who gets more than a minimum wage gets shafted from instant inflation.

/there's no way you can read it and then tell me, with a straight face, that you're still going to vote for this assclown

re: #112 jones

Personally I think the problem is localized. For example. In Southern Idaho (high desert country) water is a problem. The farmers in Eastern Idaho have put so much land under cultivation that there wasn't enough surface water to irrigate it, so they drilled wells and use center pivots or the older wheel line sprinklers and have ended up draining the aquifer. This has in turn led to a shortage of fresh water down stream and hence the resulting lawsuit demanding a curtailment of their pumping. So in our area it isn't that there isn't enough fresh water, it's that it's being used for the for the wrong things.

re: #132 RirghtSideOfTheFence

It reminded me of a segment on NPR I heard in 2004. They had all these rich people discussing how the minimum wage should be raised. Most of them sounded like the hardest work they had ever done was paying someone to type out their doctoral thesis for them.

One person called in and said what needed saying: Barring price caps on everything, raising the minimum wage only provides a one to three month boost in minimum wage earner's buying power. Everyone who gets more than a minimum wage gets shafted from instant inflation.

The new Obama ad in Ohio is irritating in so many ways. He says that he thinks about his grandmother who worked her way up from the secretarial pool to middle management despite many years of being passed over for promotions because she's a woman. He finishes in a high frenzy saying it's time to keep the promise of equal pay for an equal days work. "I want my daughters to have the exact same opportunities as your sons!"

Now, wasn't his grandmother the vice-president of a bank? Since when is that middle management? There there's this equality thing. How come Hillary was passed over when she is more qualified than he is? Hmmm? Then there's this daughter thing. His daughters don't have the same opportunities as my son. They have MORE opportunities because of affirmative action and the Civil Rights Act. So, hey, how about we get rid of those two discriminatory programs?

(cross-posted from an earlier thread)

Note this interesting post regarding professions of accountability, just below this Victor Hanson article:

J.E. Dyer comment:

One thing this great VDH piece reminds me of is a particular truth that has come home to me in the last few years.

It is this: That there is a type of wisdom that accrues to people in what I call the “accountable professions,” that people in the others may never develop.

In these remarkably wealthy, division-of-labor days, it is possible for millions of humans to get through life without ever doing anything for which the consequences of failure are concrete, immediate, and dangerous. This is the case for many in politics, academia, and the commmentariat.

In many disciplines, the question can legitimately be asked: how do we even know if someone has failed?

But we can’t say that about farming, or plumbing — or firefighting, practicing medicine, fighting wars, accounting, construction, banking, cleaning carpets, running a business, or raising children. The measures of effectivenes in these walks of life are exacting and often merciless. Irresponsible experimentation is much less common in these callings, and accountability is usually too swift to admit of buck-passing. Engineers, carpenters, bus drivers, and daycare workers all share this work environment. We can tell, very quickly, if they screwed up.

Not so of many academic disciplines, many politicians (legislators in particular), or pundits. We appreciate and thank them if they are good at what they do; if they are right; if they do courageous and inspiring things. But nothing much happens to them when they’re wrong — and there is, in fact, a whole segment of society to which they can repair to lick their wounds and be lionized.

Sep 19, 2008 - 9:29 am

That concept plainly points out the major differences between PROFESSIONS OF ACCOUNTABILITY and PROFESSIONS OF NO ACCOUNTABILITY.

Thus, the accrued ACTUAL wisdom of over a dozen years of personal accountability which Sarah Palin has acquired, versus that which Barack Obama or good ol' Joe "I think I have a much higher IQ than you do" Biden, and all of their fellow travelers, probably never will acquire. It just goes right over their head, as they're busy lording it over blue-collar workers and digging their hole that much deeper.

I just flashed on Harvard-trained Obama needing a teleprompter in every room of his house (including bathroom and bedroom), and even out riding his bike.

The REAL Wizard of Oz is sitting behind Obama's teleprompter curtain, typing out those inspiring words that he's learned to read so convincingly. Sure, he's charismatic! What do you expect? That's what it took for him to get where he is. But beneath the fluff, there's only more and more telepromptered fluff.

If Barack Hussein Obama was a pilot, just who would volunteer to ride in his airplane?

(As Toto knocks over Obama's teleprompter) "I AM THE ONE! ...PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE TELEPROMPTER! THE TELEPROMPTER! THE TELEPROMPTER! THE TELEPROMPTER! THE TELEPROMPTER! THE GODDAMN TELEPROMPTER! All right, y'all. We're gonna get this crisis fixed. That's right. We're gonna get it fixed. God's on our side. We've got good people. Gonna get this thing fixed for us..."

Heh.

Obama is already offering positions in his Cabinet. 6 weeks BEFORE the election...

By the way, he has implicitly instructed Pelosi to reject the government's plan to prevent a financial meltdown. We know why: Hussein needs the country to collapse so that he can go up in the week's polls... What a patriot!

re: #175 ciaospirit

Compensation figures for his legislative staff reveal that Obama pays women 83 cents for every dollar his men make.

A watchdog group called LegiStorm posts online the salaries for Capitol Hill staffers. "We have no political affiliations and no political purpose except to make the workings of Congress as transparent as possible," its Web site explains. Parsing LegiStorm's official data, gleaned from the secretary of the Senate, offers a fascinating glimpse at pay equity in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body.

The most recent statistics are for the half-year from Oct. 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008, excluding interns and focusing on full-time personnel. For someone who worked only until, say, last February 29, extrapolating up to six months' service simplifies this analysis. Doubling these half-year figures illustrates how a year's worth of Senate employees' paychecks should look.

Based on these calculations, Obama's 28 male staffers divided among themselves total payroll expenditures of $1,523,120. Thus, Obama's average male employee earned $54,397.

Obama's 30 female employees split $1,354,580 among themselves, or $45,152, on average.

Why this disparity? One reason may be the underrepresentation of women in Obama's highest-compensated ranks. Among Obama's five best-paid advisers, one was a woman. Among his top 20, seven were women.

Again, on average, Obama's female staffers earn just 83 cents for every dollar his male staffers make. This figure certainly exceeds the 77-cent threshold that Obama's campaign Web site condemns. However, 83 cents do not equal $1.00. In spite of this 17-cent gap between Obama's rhetoric and reality, he chose to chide GOP presidential contender John McCain on this issue.
