And we have seen nothing yet. Wait till those who accepted a 70 per cent haircut that represent 92 per cent of the defaulted debt find a judge that rules they too should get 100 per cent, in a similar “equal treatment” interpretation to that of Judge Griesa.

Mar 25th, 2016 - 10:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Pari passu was part of the original bond ownership contract obligations and it did not expire, but the RUFO clause that was involved in the contracts for the restructured debt expired in 2014. Big difference. Of course, Argentines at any latitude don't understand the concept of contractual obligations.

Mar 27th, 2016 - 04:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Obammy presided over the weakest post recessionary non economic recovery in history.
In the process of failing to restore economic vitality Obammy will have doubled the national debt to 20 + Trillion dollars in just Eight years.
The whole of the middle east and much of the rest of the muslim nations are political destabilized and or under attack internally and or externally by extremist due directly to the actions and inactions of Obammy.
Obammy has failed to impede Russia in its consolidation of power in south Georgia and has signaled to Putin through his fecklessness that it was OK to seize Crimea and partition the balance of Ukraine.
Obammy has bolstered the Iranium and Cubar regimes just as they were ready to implode.
Per black leaders, Obammy has failed to advocate for social issues and betrayed blacks in failing to stem the flood of the exportation jobs overseas and by trying to expand it.
While pledging never again with the too big to fail rhetoric, Obammy has allowed banks to consolidate markets becoming even larger than they were 8 years ago and has now failed to control a second explosion in derivatives.
Obammy's pivot to Asia has failed to thwart the territorial aspirations of China and as with Russia rather than being impeded they are emboldened as was Assad when Obammy failed to respond when his famous line in the sand was crossed without consequence.
With the appointment of Janet Yellen Obamy signalled a fragmented, contradictory monetary policy that has roiled markets internationally and has contributed to a global slip towards a universal economic crisis.
His domestic policies produce hardship and have lead to a widening of economic disparity.
And he has served as an agent of moral decay.
Obammy is now left to ponder the damage he has wrought.

Cliton appointed Raines as head of Fannie May. Cliton owns the whole debacle.

Before people had even stopped repeating it the cracks appeared. Who signed the interest deduction into law?

Mar 27th, 2016 - 11:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0http://www.nber.org/
Democrats and the media insist the Community Reinvestment Act, the anti-redlining law beefed up by President Clinton, had nothing to do with the subprime mortgage crisis and recession.
But a new study by the respected National Bureau of Economic Research finds, “Yes, it did. We find that adherence to that act led to riskier lending by banks.”
Added NBER: “There is a clear pattern of increased defaults for loans made by these banks in quarters around the (CRA) exam. Moreover, the effects are larger for loans made within CRA tracts,” or predominantly low-income and minority areas.
To satisfy CRA examiners, “flexible” lending by large banks rose an average 5% and those loans defaulted about 15% more often, the 43-page study found.
The strongest link between CRA lending and defaults took place in the runup to the crisis — 2004 to 2006 — when banks rapidly sold CRA mortgages for securitization by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and Wall Street.
CRA regulations are at the core of Fannie’s and Freddie’s so-called affordable housing mission. In the early 1990s, a Democrat Congress gave HUD the authority to set and enforce (through fines) CRA-grade loan quotas at Fannie and Freddie.
It passed a law requiring the government-backed agencies to “assist insured depository institutions to meet their obligations under the (CRA).” The goal was to help banks meet lending quotas by buying their CRA loans.
But they had to loosen underwriting standards to do it. And that’s what they did.
Troy you are scary stupid.

“Chronic” has tried to represent himself as an American and mis-represent his opinions as those of Americans .
Chronos has the mannerisms, thinking, and slang of someone from Britain.
He is way off base and doesn't realise it - he knows about the US only what he reads on RT and sees on television.
“Lucifer” is quite obviously the same poster as YB and T. Paine. Both were laughed right off MP, and rightly so.
He is likely a fake American too. I have never seen e servicemen as he does. If he were a true American, he would be outraged at the stupid performance of Chronos pretending to be American.

Gaetz then compared the total number of violent crimes (defined by federal officials as murder, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault) with the total population in the eight states without open carry in 2012. We checked his math and found the same result: Those states had a combined violent crime rate of about 434 per 100,000 people. The remaining 42 states had a violent crime rate of about 352 per 100,000. That means states with open carry laws did have a 23 percent lower violent crime rate that year.

Mar 31st, 2016 - 03:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Can you explain then, why non-Trump supporters are physically attacked and violently ejected for nothing more than wearing Sanders shirts?
If this mob violence is your vision of a New America, I shudder.
While we are on thebTrump issue,
Do you want to see Trump as POTUS?
Try re-reading my post and see if you can figure out the answer to your last question all by yourself. It's all there if you can actually read.
Mar 31st, 2016 - 03:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I am not going to discuss candidates with a Canadian.
You don't understand the USA and never will.
You also didn't answer my questions, do you thank your deity every day for being protected by the USA?

Mar 31st, 2016 - 08:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You are right, I don't understand.
Are you embarrassed to say that Trumps policies resonate with you as a voter, or do you not want to admit that he destroying the Republican Party?
As to Canada's reliance on her NATO partner and Co-operative Dew Line defence network, that's quite off-topic.
When Captain Poppy made a comment to me about loonies at the Trump Convention wanting to open carry sidearms, I responded to him.
YOU jumped in unasked, quoting unsubstantiated statistics about gun ownership and crime, as though you were refuting my observation that the mentally unstable and hateful should not have ready access to weapons.
However, for some reason you refused to confirm that you thought they should be allowed to carry weapons.
A strange paradox - that's why I asked you those questions.
Your unconnected Justin Trudeau questions, slagging of Canadians, and questions about National Defence are not related to this discussion.
I will however clarify one point.
I do not feel any safer or more grateful knowing that there is a short redneck with an inferiority complex in Yakima, taking his kids to school while packing a Desert Eagle.
You just keep embarrassing yourself.

Mar 31st, 2016 - 09:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The scenario sounded ridiculous, right??
I don't know what you're talking about but the last paragraph is simply psychotic.
Mar 31st, 2016 - 10:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You do realize that that's the same guy who would protect you weak wristed Canadians from an invasion.
Well you all run and hide, while The pretty Socialist is begging the USA to do something.
You make me sick.

Mar 31st, 2016 - 11:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Responsible gun owners... ” - I know they're out there, some of them are my friends and I respect them.
It's the emotionally unstable and unpredictable having guns that I worry about.
It has nothing to do with invasions from the “Reds”.
Hate Politics, Loonies, and guns - NO WAY!!
Oh, but you see no problem with that?
BTW, as you pointed out - the Secret Service wouldn't trust that either.
I see no problem with that. There's not a way to judge who “deserves” to have a gun or not. I certainly would not leave that up to the State to decide. Would you?
Apr 01st, 2016 - 11:04 am - Link - Report abuse 0It has everything to do with personal protection, whether its from common criminals, violent relatives, foreign invasion or one's own gov't.
I find it difficult an adult doesn't understand that but as I said as a Canadian who relies solely on someone else for their protection you never will.
Verbosity is your best suit. The demarcation was all after understand:

Little more need be said.
I guess poor ol' Troy couldn't defend the premise People from Canada are Stupid.
