The International Debacle that is the George W. Bush administration has been the 'Last Straw' that Broke the Economy's Back. The Mindless Big Spending and Massive Debt Building has left, after 8 years of Incompetent leadership, a nation bankrupt, heading into a Greater Depression than most people living today have ever endured, and government agency's chock full of incompetent crony's, ex-...

Great, one struggling company buys another struggling company in order to get its hands on tax payers money. Simply marvelous!

Hard to believe in this day and time they can allow something like this to happen!!

Today you have welfare, food stamps, affirmative action, UNCF, NAACP. What more could you ask for? You are getting reparations because most of this is paid for by honest taxpayers money (who most happen to be white). So now we...

Beans, potatoes and corn bread will also help with the budget.

Santa Cruz City schools are not over crowded now, and won't be in the near future. The Kindergarten classes at Bay View have 13-16 children in each of the five classrooms. They over booked teachers, and could have had 20 kids in four classes. Alan Pagano is mistaken if he thinks we are going to have a huge enrollment by next year.

That should keep property values stable and then the traffic would be inbound instead of outbound. If that doesn't work then just move up here and get away...

My goodness...these Yuppies wouldn't last 5 minutes in the 1930s...and this time its going to get a whole lot worse. US in 1930s: no national debt; not much household debt; no wars going on; manufacturing base; energy domestically supplied; generally one full-time job needed to keep a household going financially; public school education worth something; healthcare didn't bankrupt households; ...

GREAT!! So me who struggles to make his payments is ignored, but those who just walk away from their mortgage get a free pass. NEWS FLASH, THESE PEOPLE WILL DEFAULT ANYWAY! Crap, man cut me a break. Not that I expected one when I got the loan but If your cutting deals with my tax money, I deserve one too. Either help all of us or none of us!

I'll be the first to admit the "left" has plenty of people who are rabidly insensitive. The only thing I hate more than indecision is hasty conclusions. I'm always chiding my teenage son to look at a problem from all sides ...

Huh wrote: I accepted a credit card offer with a 7.9% rate. I purchased a home and we used the card to buy furniture and other things for it. The card was near its limit, but I was making at least the minimum payment - and usually something more - each month. I got a letter two months ago, about a year after opening the card, that because my balance was high - NOT because of a late ...

John R. Smith is a right wing nut job. A crass, stubborn mule who is intellectually bankrupt. Typical conservative wind bag who blames the poor people for everything when the truth is beloved corporate heroes dropped the ball and ran the country into the ground. Why the Slantinel runs this blow hard's column is beyond me. But hey, the geniuses who put out this paper are running it into the ground...

Judged: 4 3 2 The problems with the mortgage industry stems from greed, corruption, and deception or what Republicans promote as the American business model.

What has happened to your editorial board? You just endorsed Bailout Plus for President, instead of doing the right thing and endorsing no one. And you're telling me I don't begrudge a helping hand??? I do. Not all of this money disappeared. It's sitting in Hamptons houses and the bank accounts of people like Hank Greenberg of AIG, Franklin Raines of Fannie, and a whole lot of investment bankers...
