letter from new albany

Sep 25, 2008

Hello Kitty, Hilter, Pork-pies,...

...Scary bail-out plans, Paulson, and Republicans, who by the way, I find myself in agreement with at the moment.  Today they balked at the hastily crafted "compromise" "credit" "rescue" deal...

"...Instead, they issued a statement of economic rescue principles that calls for Wall Street to fund the recovery by injecting private capital - not taxpayer dollars - into the financial markets. Easing tax laws would prompt investors to put in their own dollars, they said.

The plan also calls for: participating firms to disclose the value of the mortgage assets on their books, ending Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's securitization of "unsound mortgages," reviewing the performance of the credit rating agencies and having the Securities and Exchange Commission audit failed companies to ensure their financial standing was accurately portrayed.

House Republicans also want to create a panel to make recommendations for reforming the financial industry by year's end."
