Bail-Outs
Bus driver with 800,000 dollar home whines
by Techievampire on Feb.25, 2009, under Bail-Outs, Rants, Socialism
This is the face of greed a bus driver who bought an 800,000 dollar home and is whining about how she can’t pay her mortgage. She wants the Great Leader to end foreclosures.
I am supposed to feel sorry for this idiot? Oh hell no! I say we take up a collection and send her money for cardboard boxes. So she can move her greedy ass into a fucking apartment! I’m sure Obama and his idiot buddies want us to feel sorry for her. She was the victim of an evil lender. My ass! Did the lender tie her into a chair and force her to fucking sign on the dotted line? Hell no! She admits they bought too much house!
How about you take some fucking responsibility for yourself and admit you fucked up and do the responsible thing. Move out of the house into something you CAN afford and not expect the rest of us poor bastards to pay for your fucking mistake! She’s an epic fail as a parent. Think of what she’s teaching her kids. “Go out and buy something you can’t pay for and if you whine and draw enough attention to yourself there will be some dumb fucker who will feel sorry for you and save your ass.”
OMG, I’m so angry I can’t see straight. Hell, I guess my husband and I should have gone ahead and bought a house a few years ago. Oh sure they wanted us to buy too much house. Like an idiot I went home and actually used the brain cells I had left and did the math and didn’t see how we could afford it.
Instead of allowing ourselves to be swept up in the excitement of the moment we were calm, methodical, and we used a word some of these morons have evidently never used or heard before in their lives…
WE SAID NO!
Some of these people deserve to live in a van down by the river! OMG! The fucking nerve!
Fuck the Big 3 and FUCK the UAW

No way in hell the fed should save these dumbasses.
Autoworkers are not special.
My husband is unemployed and he made a hell of a lot less than an autoworker.
Screw em.
No bailout for the Big 3.
$700 Billion isn’t enough

When all of this came up I will admit it scared the crap outta me. My husband was a few days from being laid off. I got to the point I didn’t know what I thought about all of this… CRAP! It was a little too much, and too close to home, for me to be able to think straight. I gave up.
How much blood do they think you can squeeze out of a stone?
Then we see this from the Miracle Worker from Illinois:
Shortly after President Bush signed the financial rescue package into law, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama called for a second economic stimulus passage, saying it was “an emergency plan for the middle class.”
Obama urges second stimulus after bailout passes
Obviously Obama has the American taxpayer confused with an ATM.
So angry right now after reading that steaming pile of HORSESHIT that I can’t even see! More later!
The Big Government Company
by Techievampire on Oct.02, 2008, under Bail-Outs
Had a thought last night…. in a sense the Government is like a large company.
The President, Vice President, and Congress are the CEOs in a sense.
How about we remove THEIR golden parachutes?
No money after you leave office. Period.
Hell if I had my way Congress would live in a giant apartment complex. NOT extravagant apartments either… about like the one I live in. They’d be paid much less. They’d be bussed to work. They’d get no pension when they’re done screwing up the company.

True story.
We live in an apartment. It sucks. Totally. Recently we were watching a movie and heard a giant WOOOSH, our window blinds blew back and forth, and we heard crap falling. Turned out that the person who moved out upstairs neglected to make sure her washer connection wasn’t dripping. The ceiling over our washer/dryer caved in. Scared the crap out of us. It’s been almost 2 months now and no one has repaired the ceiling. So you can see what a joy it is to live here…
My husband was given a card for a realtor by a co-worker. This was a couple of years ago I believe. We thought about it awhile and decided to at least find out what would be involved in buying a house. We made an appointment and went to her office. We sat there, told her what she needed to know, what we were looking for and she started telling us what they could do.
I was gobsmaked. We were looking for something from 40 - 60 maybe 70 thousand. A fixer upper or a small starter home. There are only the three of us. We don’t need a huge fucking house. We have no debt, don’t use credit cards, no car payment, we live within our means. Our credit isn’t that great because, DUH… we don’t use credit cards.
She was talking 80, 90, 100, 125, 150 thousand dollar homes!
After managing to pick my jaw up off the floor I asked her if she was serious. That she thought we could get a 150 thousand loan for a house. She smiled brightly and said “Sure!”. I began to wonder if I’d stumbled into the damned Twilight Zone.
We let her finish her spiel and left. We talked about it and I thought it was ridiculous. The payment on the upper limit she was talking about would be over HALF of what my husband at that time was bringing in for a month. All of those Scot ancestors of mine were screaming their heads off! I’m the type of person who won’t pay $300 - $400 for a Kitchen Aid mixer when I can buy a $100 Sunbeam. I refused to even consider one of those Dyson monstrosities ($500 - up! OMFG!) when I could get a vacuum that works just as well or better for $100 including shipping btw. I waited 9 FREAKING years to buy a dining room table, paid cash, and decided to wait on buying chairs! I’m a CHEAPSKATE! Frugal… whatever. Anyway the Scots were screaming in my head… painting their faces blue… preparing for war. lol
My husband, bless his heart, hates this apartment as much or more so than I do. He’d really hoped we’d be able to do it. But even he thought it was too much.
Get ready for it…
Wait for it…
WE SAID NO!
And here we are 2 years out and he was laid off Tuesday and the housing mess has gone up in flames.
I’ve seen some really stupid shit said and one of the stupidest is that some in congress are trying to make you think people were FORCED to accept these loans to buy houses. BULLSHIT! What have I missed the news reports of people being struck DUMB?!?! They couldn’t say NO? Give me a fucking break!
I read one article somewhere, can’t remember where now unfortunately, where some idiot who made 14,000 a year bought a 400,000 house and was WHINING because he was going to lose his house! Hey buddy here’s a clue for you… your family should be ashamed of you! You should be renting or living in an apartment! Jesus Christ!
If you can’t afford to buy you should rent. Period. Damnit. End of discussion.
Added later:
Another thing that irked me was the impression I got that we were supposed to go into debt for a house, die, and leave the remainder of debt to our son. Jesus, by then people may be living in cubes for all I know! He might not even want the damned thing! Or worse yet… let the bank have it back. What the hell? Pay payments for years to end up giving it back, saddling our son with debt, or losing it in another way. Screw THAT!
No, not only no… hell no!
Hypocrisy
by Techievampire on Oct.01, 2008, under Bail-Outs
I am continually amazed at the level of ignorance exhibited by our side in this economic fiasco. If you weren’t railing against the bailout with bared teeth, hysterical spittle running down your face you were a SOCIALIST.
Bush sends the bill to the House. People freak the fuck out. It is gone over with a fine tooth comb and sections are removed as they should have been. But somewhere along the way it changed from cleaning up the bill to defeating it entirely. What’s the reason for defeating it? SOCIALISM! The bill is defeated.
NOW a bill is in the Senate to be voted on tonight. The screaming hoards reading it seem to have reading comprehension problems. Some seem not to understand that it has been added to another bill. That there are no earmarks in the bill. Release the hounds! Call your Senators! It’s
SOCIALISM!
Suddenly they find out that McCain is FOR the bill! Horrors! Gnashing of teeth! People threatening not to vote for McCain if he votes for the bill…
So… you didn’t want the bills because of SOCIALISM… but you will by your inaction on Nov. 4th ensure that a SOCIALIST is elected?
How fucking STUPID is that?!?!
Tom Coburn and the Bailout
by Techievampire on Sep.30, 2008, under Bail-Outs
You may not agree with him but WTF is wrong with you people?!?! I’ve seen people say he should be voted out. Umm… FUCK NO! You don’t live here, you don’t vote here, STFU! Some of the ones making comments probably live in a socialist state paradise. Clean up your own goddamned mess FIRST!
You want me to vote out Dr. NO? Have you lost your ever loving fucking minds?!?
I disagree with Jim Inhofe but I’m sure as hell not going to vote him out. Hell, he’s one of the few up in LALA land (DC) that actually take on the environmentalists.
Stop the witch hunt… you know what I mean… “RINO” “Socialist” you scream as if you were posting/writing from fucking DU! Get a goddamned grip and put down the crack pipe!
Don’t offer my family on the altar of your “principles”
by Techievampire on Sep.25, 2008, under Bail-Outs
I’ve been watching what’s been going on the past few days and I’m horrified. I’ve seen some of the most heartless vile comments coming from people who at any other time are reasonable and thinking.
Here’s a clue for you morons. It’s not just the people who bought houses they couldn’t afford who will suffer.
It’s my family.
We didn’t buy a house (we could have but for some reason I felt like it was not the time.. now I know why.), we don’t use credit cards, we have NO debt, no car payment, we live within our means, and we’re frugal. My husband has worked all of his life. He’s not some parasite living off of the tax payers. He has Cerebral Palsy and has struggled all his life to make a living and be treated like a normal human being.
Tuesday my husband’s job ends. Due to greed at the corporate level.
It’s so fucking easy to sit in your chair in your house with, what you consider your safe employment situation, and say “let the parasites suffer they deserve it”. It’s not only those who were greedy YOU FUCKS it’s others who through no fault of their own are in danger.
I’ve seen crap spouted about how it’s standing on principle. My left nut! You have had YEARS to stand on principle yet you kept your fucking mouth shut and let them pass god only knows how much garbage legislation and bills. Did you say anything every time they passed bills passing out billions? No.
NOW you decide to stand on principle. Hypocrites.
It grieves my soul to have to think about this thing passing but I know from first hand experience what being hungry is like.
Some of you haven’t missed a meal in your fucking lives.
Mark my words if something isn’t done you won’t be safe. None of you will be safe.
Then we’ll see how those principles taste.
