The Financial Mess

If you've been following the news at all you know about the housing prices declining and banks and investment firms going bankrupt, and the government bailout that Congress just passed.

This whole mess disgusts me. The people responsible need to be prosecuted, but it sounds like many will get off easy.

We, the people, need to hold our representatives accountable for mishandling the whole mess.

Here is more information about H.R.1424: A bill to provide authority for the Federal Government to purchase and insure certain types of troubled assets for the purposes of providing stability to and preventing disruption in the economy and financial system and protecting taxpayers, to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide incentives for energy production and conservation, to extend certain expiring provisions, to provide individual income tax relief, and for other purposes. (This is the one passed by Congress and signed by the president.)

You can find the full text here: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h110-1424
This gives the Secretary of the Treasury way too much authority and is written in a way to make it more difficult to understand.

Sec 136 increases FDIC insurance to $250,000 until Dec. 31st, 2009.
I find that odd. It hasn't kept up with inflation, so increasing the limit would make sense, especially since rich people pulling the amount in excess of $100,000 out of their accounts would hurt the banks further.

DIVISION B--ENERGY IMPROVEMENT AND EXTENSION

←→

ACT OF 2008SECTION

ACT OF 2008 starts off by editing a lot of other laws, and extending some renewable energy credits
There is a credit allowed against the alternative minimum tax. Is it really a minimum tax then?

Extra credits for the steel industry?
FERC and state electric restructuring?

Subtitle B--Carbon Mitigation and Coal Provisions

(3) CAPTURE AND SEQUESTRATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS REQUIREMENT-

‘(2) $10 per metric ton of qualified carbon dioxide which is--
‘(A) captured by the taxpayer at a qualified facility, and
‘(B) used by the taxpayer as a tertiary injectant in a qualified enhanced oil or natural gas recovery project.

What the heck is this crap!? This bill was supposed to be about helping the economy!!! Why did they throw in limiting CO2 emissions and tax credits for those who do!
So much of this bill has nothing to do with it's advertised purpose!

TITLE III--ENERGY CONSERVATION AND EFFICIENCY PROVISIONS
Has credits for energy efficient appliances- that seems nice, but unrelated.

TITLE IV--REVENUE PROVISIONS
DIVISION C--TAX EXTENDERS AND ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX RELIEF
SEC. 102. EXTENSION OF INCREASED ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX EXEMPTION AMOUNT.

Subtitle B--Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008
Again, why is this stuff just tacked on!?

TITLE VI--OTHER PROVISIONS

SEC. 601. SECURE RURAL SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY SELF-DETERMINATION PROGRAM.

TITLE VII--DISASTER RELIEF

Subtitle A--Heartland and Hurricane Ike Disaster Relief

Did you know that disaster relief was part of the bailout bill? I didn't until reading this.



Ugh, each separate item should be a separate bill and voted on separately. In this case you have disaster relief mixed in with bailing out wall street and buying up bad debt, and all sorts of other stuff! Buying up the bad debt is not the way to go. Besides now they're asking for more!!!


Here's an idea, let's not vote for any incumbent who voted for this mess, even if they're not up for reelection this time around. When its their turn, kick them out. Please, look at the voting records and use that to make your decision. I know it takes more time to do, but we need to tell our government that they work for us! If they do a crappy job, they're fired!

Ethanol Update

http://discovermagazine.com/2008/oct/03-anything-into-ethanol/article_view?b_start:int=0&-C=

Companies including Coskata and Range Fuels are moving ahead with making ethanol from wood chips. This is pretty exciting stuff as it is cost effective and a step towards energy independence!

Police Violence at the Political Convetions

I am disgusted by the amount of violence that the police are committing against protesters, journalists, and bystanders in Denver and St. Paul. This kind of violence is inexcusable!

We, as citizens of the United States have certain rights guaranteed in the Constitution. They are there for a reason and specifically the First and Fourth Amendments need repeating:

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

The mainstream media has hardly touched this, focusing on Sarah Palin's parenting abilities. People need to know about this! This is violence going on here, in the United States, by the very people who are supposed to protect us.

In case you haven't heard, here are some examples:
