But while the agency may hit up taxpayers for a loan, this would eventually be paid back with interest by surviving banks. "It becomes an issue only if the banking industry can't pay the bill," says Ely. If things get that bad, duck...
...she’s a believer), has made traditional conservative constituencies rejoice while Democrats froth at the mouth. Focus on the Family leader James C. Dobson applauded the choice as “outstanding,” while Palin’s fiery speech at the convention prompted a rash of donations to the Obama campaign that totaled close to $10 million in the 24 hours that followed. The political advisability of McCain’s controversial choice will be revealed in the months to come.We have some concerns about what the selection of Palin means for the character...
