As I pointed out two days ago, Barbara Boxer has sponsored legislation that will ensure that no accidents ever happen on the water again to cause massive oil spills... If you believe that....
Anyway, I subscribe to her newsletters, and she has another one coming down the pike... ending the crisis in home mortgages! First of all, I know there are problems in the sub-prime market, but a crisis? Only because the media has told us so! Here's what she says:
Several bills have been introduced in the Senate to help ease the home mortgage crisis, and I am pleased to cosponsor several of them. Of prime importance is new legislation, the Homeownership Preservation and Protection Act of 2007. This bill is intended to protect American homeowners and prevent this disaster from happening again. Because it contains several provisions, I invite you to learn more by using this link.
I don't know about you, but when a politician introduces legislation that is intended to protect me and prevent a disaster from happening again, I grab my wallet and say goodbye to more of my freedom! Makes me yearn for the days of the government shutdowns.
Here's the deal. First the politicians must create a crisis in our minds. Then they have to have the audacity to think that they can write legislation to "fix" it. What a bunch of arrogant fools. Almost without fail, they make the problem worse because they can not see the big picture. Take the AMT, for example. What started out as a fix for a problem, is now hurting the people it was actually supposed to help!
Now we have the health care "crisis" on the horizon. Let's see what nonsense they can come up with this time! My suggestion? 100% health care reimbursement on your income tax. What are the chances???
