The problem seems to be to be the result of greed, both on the lenders part and the borrowers. If they had done the numbers they could have seen they wouldn't work.<BR/><BR/>Now we all pay - and will continue to do so.<BR/><BR/>DarlaDarlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02729017606957829830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467208927530359310.post-23397776868931489302008-10-05T23:08:00.000+03:002008-10-05T23:08:00.000+03:00Nihal, You are right, as if the financial woes of ...Nihal, You are right, as if the financial woes of the US are bad enough, they are reverberating all over the world. The "bail out" is not the answer, as far as I am concerned. It's like putting a cup pof water on a forest fire. The only way it passed was by adding the usual "pork barrel" appropriations - that would not pass in the daylight - to the package. These are no different that bribes. We are not being represented properly or fairly.MuseSwingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999288873532715380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467208927530359310.post-61439529136626773022008-10-05T18:58:00.000+03:002008-10-05T18:58:00.000+03:00Oh it's all terrible but maybe it was unavoidable....Oh it's all terrible but maybe it was unavoidable.<BR/>Beside all that, your picture is wonderful I love the colors.Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11722700228974496130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467208927530359310.post-18691074332373376642008-10-04T18:57:00.000+03:002008-10-04T18:57:00.000+03:00Nihal, I can only hope that our governments approv...Nihal, <BR/>I can only hope that our governments approval of the bail-out plan will help the financial both here and abroad. Ideally, I would hope that further "tumble-down" could be avoided, but my fear, though, is that the "rescue" has come to late and that more "tumble-down" will take place and there will be years of hard financial times ahead. I'm just a 59 year old wife, mother, quilter, artisan who has no political agenda here. I was interested to read your post and the accompanying article.Sandi Linn Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15275591320281892830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467208927530359310.post-46687605313066847102008-10-04T13:23:00.000+03:002008-10-04T13:23:00.000+03:00Hi Nihal!

Things are getting more difficult every day... :( As for the US to «show leadership» in the financial markets, we probably had already enough of that and the result is there to be seen... ;) We'll see what the bailout will bring...<BR/>Forgetting it; Love is in the air in Anatolia. Great!! Chocolate? Great!! But the best is that you also love the Alvin Ailey company! Can't forget the first time I saw them performing in NYC. Awesome!<BR/>Wish you a great weekend!<BR/><A HREF="http://blogtrotta.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Blogtrotter</A>, now Deep in Crete!<BR/>GilGMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775262251208390861noreply@blogger.com
