So. If you who. Bought wisely. And pay down your mortgage rather than using your house is an ATM and you're not underwater. You're not gonna get. Help from the government but if you act of like a DM four. And up and spend money key endlessly in foolishly on trips to the Caribbean or Iran. How Mercer early on flat screen TVs now the government is gonna bail you out how how can this. Be possible.

Wall Street economist just downgraded the government's second quarter GDP estimate of 2.4 percent tore around one point 7%. Treasury Secretary Geithner is warning the unemployment rate may well begin to rise back towards the politically toxic 10% level given such sluggish growth. But political content calculation of the White House is that the number of grateful Americans would be greater than those offended that they and their grandchildren. Their children and grandchildren would be paying for someone else's mortgage was do you wanna pay to bail somebody else out. Do you. Do you think the guy down the street who was -- back to this -- these Brazilians in Everett the we're talking about a couple of nights ago. Beat these Brazilians they they spent a 100000 dollars on a that the -- to -- a up piece of crap -- and I Everett. And then they use it as an ATM and another bank's about the foreclose on Tuesday a 490000. Dollars on the house they experiment a 100000.
