Why would one need a job when you can get a house for free?

Maxine Waters, D-Ca, wishes to define banks who mind going bankrupt making bad loans as "Gangsta Banks," and she wants President Obama to tax them out of business.
Mediaite
Waters told the crowd that now is the time for the President to use the bully pulpit, and bring the gangstas in, put them around the table and let them know that if they dont come up with loan modifications and keep people in their homes, that theyve worked so hard for, were gonna tax them out of business.
Is this wise when so many people are out of work, to further frighten the business sector?
Thanks, ColonialMarine, and welcome to USMB's economic and political discussions. You have nailed what Ms. Waters wants her constituents to think that they will be taken care of, as her linked video indicates:The real "gangstas" are the fools that took out mortgages without knowing what they were doing. For a country that essentially created free market capitalism I'm amazed at how many Americans are so ignorant on basic matters regarding how money works and economics. I saw a report on my local news where a homeowner in default (a real twit) didn't know the difference between a fixed rate & an adjustable rate mortgage. Miss Waters is typical of the pandering politician who wants a Nanny-State to take care of people from womb to tomb. Actions have consequences you "ignorant slut"*.

On the Stupid Meter, this speech ranks 8.5 out of 10.
Isn't it against the law to use a Congressional Seat's power and information base to make yourself rich off of?
In Washington, maybe, but around here, dcbl, there are a couple of truly good-hearted lefties.Isn't it against the law to use a Congressional Seat's power and information base to make yourself rich off of?
No, no, no... That rule is for Republicans!
Please do not underestimate our "Do as we say, not as we do" friends on the left!
Yebbut she's the media darling of the moment until it comes out about her TARP conflict-of-interest they don't want the public to know about before election time.Maxine Waters is the most racist politician on the Hill. One that isn't even that bright.
The Los Angeles congresswoman's husband had ties to OneUnited Bank, which received bailout funds. She helped set up a meeting last fall with the bank and Treasury officials.
March 13, 2009|Richard Simon and E. Scott ReckardWASHINGTON AND LOS ANGELES — Rep. Maxine Waters, one of Los Angeles' most enduring liberal politicians, has come under scrutiny because of bailout funds that went to a bank in which her husband had owned stock and served on the board.
Waters was a senior member of the congressional committee dealing with the financial crisis when OneUnited Bank -- one of the nation's largest minority-owned institutions -- received $12 million in bailout funds.
bankofamerica.com/aheadHer husband, Sidney Williams, served on the bank board until early last year and held at least $500,000 in investments in the bank in 2007, the most recent year for which public financial disclosure statements are available.
A month before Congress enacted the bailout program, Waters helped set up a meeting between the chief executive of the bank, representatives of other financial institutions and Treasury officials.
"When a member of the financial services committee calls, you pay special attention," said Jeb Mason, who was a high-ranking Treasury official last fall.
He said that the September meeting was billed as a broad discussion by minority-owned banks of the problems they faced but that it ended up a discussion of one bank's problems. He said he only recently learned of Waters' husband's ties to OneUnited and would have liked to have known about them. He added, however, that the connection didn't influence the department.
OneUnited did not receive any federal money at that time, but by mid-December, it had received $12 million in bailout funds.
Waters did not respond to requests for comment.
House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said in an interview Thursday that he advised Waters last fall to "stay out of it" because he knew her husband had served on the bank board
