I see in the Washington Times where Hillary is going to have a hard issue to deal with concerning the next mortgage crisis:
“When the Federal Reserve and other respected voices began warning a decade ago that
those changes were threatening the mortgage markets, Hillary Clinton joined fellow Democratic senators, including Barack Obama and John F. Kerry in providing the vote to block Republican reforms designed to stave off a collapse. “
It goes on. My point is. It won’t affect Clinton because nobody is going to accuse her of anything.
They are still trying to pursue “affordable housing” when there is no such thing.
The book Reckless Endangerment is about the previous fiasco of loaning money to people who couldn’t repay the loans.. People blame the banks. And the banks are at fault because they used underhanded methods to protect themselves; but the government was at fault.
Still is. You can’t make banks loan money to people who can’t pay them back.
The same crisis is brewing WRT student loans.
I see in World that a 94 year old man is sentenced to four years in prison for being a guard in a prison camp where 300,000 Jews were gassed. He was 19 at the time.
The holocaust was a terrible thing. But if it took them this long to convict the guy of something, it’s time to leave it alone.
Regardless of the crime, seventy years is long enough.
Leave it alone.
Banks and the bond markets are incapable of assessing risk. They need to accept responsibility and change. Stop blaming others.
Student loans are set up so they wint implode in the sane way however students will strangle the market place slowly and eventually drain the money frim the economy.
Its an interesting question. When do you stop prosecuting? There are statute of limitations for most crimes. And even student loans are dead after 5-7 years if they cant find you. (I kniw students who went to asia and eastern europe to avoid paying. Some came back after 5 years but others stayed and became very successful. An other way student loans hurt society(
But it reminded me that Moore writes about the sexual ethic issues in his new book, noting that the Christian sexual ethic has never been popular or easy, it has always been the narrow way (he says this in response to those who argue that the church needs to accept homosexuality to attract young people — just as the progressives urged the church to give up the supernatural parts of the Bible to retain their popularity; of course, many of those churches are barely hanging on and closing down at a record pace).
I was waiting to see if my church was going to mention anything about this issue. A friend told me to listen to the July 26th message. So refreshing. Our pastor said that we are the Church and are called to live lives by God’s standards. This message is to be continued on how to engage our society. I will wait to post a link until I hear next week’s message. Email me if you want the link now.
Christianity Today used to be solidly conservative. Like most Christian institutions located in the North, it has drifted in the liberal direction. Unfortunately, the article on transvestites did not address the role that a child’s environment plays in leading that child to a transvestite lifestyle. It also failed to address how American Christians can protect their children from influences that would push a child in that direction. Fortunately, the leaders of Russia, India and the other nations that will lead the world in this century are not so blind. Over the next 50 years you will see leaders of traditional nations “quarantine” the U.S. and Western Europe in order to protect their children from perverse Western influences.
HRW, The student loan market in the US is about as “free-market” as the economy of North Korea. It is financed, created and massively regulated by the federal government. These are the same idiots that caused the housing bubble, created the Social Security and Medicare Ponzi schemes, promote the global warming myth and subsidize sloth, fake “disabilities” and inefficiency. Your man Sanders is the perfect leader for the perverted and socialized U.S.
Good men such as Cruz, Jendal, Huckabee and Rubio are completely miscast as candidates to lead the U.S. As Southerners, they should be the Founding Fathers of a new Southern Nation.
This would also be a boon for world peace. The Middle East was destabilized by a US foreign policy that combined over-aggressiveness and stupidity in the toppling of existing regimes and the promotion of Arab Democracy. A US without the South would be as powerful and as aggressive as Luxomberg. The new Southern nation would find natural allies in Russia, India and other traditional Asian nations which tend to promote stability rather than trying to impose democracy, perversion, feminism and tree-hugging on other nations.
Student loans do distort the market and for the most part are designed not wuth students in mind but corporations. Sanders rightly recognizing the problems with student loans and advocates free post secondary. The loan system is part of the establishment support by both democrats and republicans alike as it furthers corporate profit at the expense of the people.
Although there is a ponzi element to US social security, it has been extremely successful in fulfilling its purpose ie reducing senior poverty.
Transgender isnt new caused by the western permissive environment but is genetic and biological. Traditional cultures throughout the world have had different means of dealing with or accomodating transgender. In some cases its been to repress and in some cases to celebrate.
A divided US will at least initially cause unrest and possibly war as countries such as China and Russia attempt to fill the power vacuum. Instability is never a good thing in the short term.
Russia and China are already moving to fill the power vacuum. They, along with most of the rest of the world, understand that the U.S. has become a paper tiger and is on its way to becoming a paper kitten. The danger is that the U.S. does not understand its own weakness. It is like Samson immediately following his haircut. An independent Dixie could defend itself and would be the dominant military power in the Western Hemisphere while the perverted and feminized North would be focused on making sure that its military was green, feminine, homosexual, transvestite, bully-free, racially diverse, etc.
Ricky – The article didn’t get into what causes gender dysphoria, but looked at the ways Christians view it. The author did not suggest we should accept it as “normal”, but advised treating those who suffer with it with compassion & sensitivity. That doesn’t strike me as particularly liberal, but rather as a Christian way to respond.
The article outlines and gives the pros and cons to three viewpoints, including “celebration” of transvestism. This is liberalism. The article does not contain a single word about how we should protect children from transvestitism. Russia shows true compassion for its children by trying to protect them.
Lest we doubt that one’s environment can lead to transvestitism, let us consider Mr. Bruce Jenner. For decades he understood that he was male, marrying women, fathering children and becoming arguably the world’s greatest male athlete. Then he marries into the weirdest family in the weirdest state in the weirdest nation on earth. Now he starts wearing dresses and calling himself a woman.
Ricky – The author mentioned “Celebration” as how some respond to gender dysphoria, but was not advocating that. The article was simply about how different Christians view it, & how we should respond to those who suffer with it. It was not an exhaustive look at its causes & effects.
As for Bruce Jenner, he claims now that he has always struggled with these feelings. But I’m sure that our society’s embrace of every sexual permutation out there probably encouraged him to give in to those feelings.
Speaking of “sexual permutations,” my liberal “Christian” friend recently referred to “kink shaming”. 😦 (Apparently, nothing is shameful anymore, except for not accepting everything shameful.)
