Barney Frank: $50 Billion to Help People Pay Their Mortgages May Not Be Enough

(CNSNews.com) - House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank (D.-Mass.) said Sunday he does not think the $50 billion in tax dollars the Obama administration intends to use to help people pay their mortgages will be enough. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner last Tuesday announced the general outline of President Obama’s plan to continue the government’s bailout of the financial industry, which was begun under President Bush when Congress approved $700 billion for the “Troubled Asset Relief Program.” The outline included using $50 billion in tax dollars to help people pay their mortgages. A Treasury Department “Fact Sheet” outlining the proposal said the administration plans to: “Commit $50 billion to prevent avoidable foreclosures of owner-occupied middle class homes by helping to reduce monthly payments in line with prudent underwriting and long-term loan performance.”President Obama is scheduled to reveal the details of this plan in a speech in Phoenix, Ariz., on Wednesday. But yesterday, appearing on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Rep. Frank said he did not think $50 billion would be enough.“[Y]ou've mentioned the $50 billion that Mr. Geithner is talking about for foreclosure relief,” host Bob Schieffer asked Frank. “… Is that going to be enough or will more money be needed to—““I don't think it will be enough,” said Frank. “But in fairness to Mr. Geithner, we won't know that for a while. I believe that he will be--he's got a good set of plans coming forward to begin to reduce foreclosures. And by the way, we reduce foreclosures, not just to be charitable to individuals, but because the massive number of foreclosures is a major macroeconomic problem. It hurts the whole economy."And so what I hope is this," said Frank. "We will begin, if in fact, by the time we've used $50 billion, it turns out we can use more, then I believe the Congress would be responsive. But first they're going to have to demonstrate the will, which they have demonstrated, and the capacity to use it effectively.”Meanwhile, on “Fox News Sunday” hosted by Chris Wallace, Obama adviser David Axelrod suggested the $50 billion mortgage bailout could double to $100 billion.“Is the focus on reducing monthly payments, or is it going to be on getting the institutions to actually lower the principal that's owed on those mortgages? And is $50 billion nearly enough to deal with this program?” asked Wallace.“Well, I'm not going to deal with the details of the program, which will be announced Wednesday,” said Axelrod.But when Wallace pushed on the issue, saying that $50 billion “seems like a drop in the bucket,” Axelrod said: “Well, there'll be a lot of aspects to this, to this program, so--but the $50 billion obviously--$50 to $100 billion that's been discussed to date, is obviously a necessary part of it.”

Homeless Henrietta

Homeless Henrietta, the face of the Economic Crisis my a**. Or maybe she is. Her son is 37 years old, the same age as me and has not had a job since he was fired from the City of Ft Myers 7 years ago. Just last month a local charity in Ft Myers offered Henrietta and her bum of a son a place to live but they turned it down. Why? Because a condition was that he would have to get a job. What kind of lowlife allows his mom to live in a car just because he doesn't want to work?

It's interesting to see that the media have backed off covering Henrietta. They know that the photo-op would have backfired on our new President if the American people knew the truth about her. I guess they will not hold her and her bum of a son to the same standards they held Joe the Plumber to.

Ok Brian. Here is the reply you are chomping at the bit for. The problem with you is you use any chance you have to win when you are losing. Such as old-man Steve looking for typos. Maybe you are a typist Steve but I make my secretary do that stuff-so try to keep your adult diapers from getting in a bunch while you read and find typos here. While you're (that's right Steve-you're-an apostrophe you illiterate) fast asleep in bed right now, my day is just ending. I count money-not typos buddy.Now, first, I do not think Brian is antisemetic because of that useless comment to the caller- I think he is antisemetic because he always finds a way to make an irrelevant snide remark to Jewish people. Not very Christian. I could care less for your beliefs Brian. They are wrong anyhow. Jesus was a snake oil salesman. Just show respect for others.Also, Brian, as I said you are disrespctful to elders. How about while I talk to your father I yell over him "excuse me, excuse me, excuse me" as he tries to talk. It shows that you have no character.As for Steve thinking he will tear me to shreds- Steve-buddy-snap out of it. I've made a living out of making people like you cry and beg for mercy.Now Brian, let me cut off your insecure remarks- then I need some sleep.1. Yes-I took time to write you-just like you took 15 minutes to discuss me. Intellectual exercises for us both. Nothing wrong there.2. I actually am not that caller you think I am. But I was offended how you addressed him. He sounded much older than me. I am your age. And I speak to my elders with respect. They built this country.3. I am in fact Republican. I voted for Bush and will vote for McCain. Who cares what Steve believes?4. I can not speak to you by phone because you cut people off yelling "excuse me" over them and your microphone overrides the phone. I won't be your patsy. As for coming in- I actually have to work. I only hear you guys at night. I have CNBC on in the a.m.Ta-ta

Someone used the microphone without permission to quote from Leviticus 20:13 which states:

If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. (New International Version)

Crowd Packs Amphitheater For Man Claiming He's Jesus Christ Reincarnated
Christians Protest Event In Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A controversial religious figure who claims he is Jesus Christ incarnate with a following of millions with "666" tattoos on their bodies, filled an amphitheater in Orlando this weekend, and promised joy, peace and prosperity.

Orlando police officers stood guard around the Lake Eola amphitheater as Dr. Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda, 61, arrived in the city Saturday.
Miranda, who has been banned from three countries, told Local 6 News cameras and a cheering crowd that he was Jesus Christ reincarnated.
His followers believe that Miranda's life and his teachings replace those of Jesus of Nazareth, Local 6's Jamie Guirola said.
"They believe that Jesus is going to come from the sky," Juan Sanchez. "But, that is not the way he is going to come."
"He is here?" Guirola said.
"He is here." Sanchez said.
Miranda said millions of people worldwide have tattooed their bodies with "666" in recognition that the second-coming of Christ has taken place, according to the report.

"I have it proudly on my hand," a believer told Local 6's Jamie Guirola. "It is easier when they shake my hand. It is easier for them to ask. I am very proud to show it is a sign of love."
A group of Christians protested the event, calling the following a cult. Police also removed two people from the amphitheater.
"We are just questioning their faith and their '666' tattoos," a protestor told Local 6. "We just want to learn more so we can relate more between being a Christian and believing in this and who the true Jesus is."
Miranda said he is known as God in at least 30 countries.
Local 6 reported that he was born in Puerto Rico and admits to being a recovering heroin addict. He also spent times in prison on drug and petty theft charges.
Miranda is the founder of the Miami-based Growing in Grace Ministry.

E-mail from a Listener

I'll try to be brief. I moved to Boca from Manhattan several months ago and have trouble getting AM radio reception. So I stumbled on to your show. At first, I thought Steve overall was polite and respectful to people, especially when seeing the lattitude given to his disrespectful sidekick. And I also thought said rude sidekick was slightly interesting.

As it always goes in life, never judge people too soon. This guy Brian is an uneducated, arrogant prick with no respect for elders and of course is antisemetic. I am a 35 year old lawyer- what are you Brian?- a big mouth with no respect for anyone. Some Christian. You are no Christian guy.

Steve, you are even starting to sound ignorant and annoying yourself. I have now lost 2 minutes of my life writing to you but I really just became so dissapointed with something I was enjoying. Brian telling a Jewish caller he appologizes he won't be saved with is is just too much. And the way he disrespects his elders.....Get a life guys. Live life- stop sitting on oyur asses commenting on it. As for me, I will get a new antenae. You're turned off. You racist ignorant c---suckers.

P.S. I am Republican....doesn't change what losers you are.

California Hotels Go Green With Low-Flow Toilets, Solar Lights

By Ari Levy and Carole Zimmer
April 27 (Bloomberg) -- Visitors to the Gaia Napa Valley Hotel and Spa won't find the Gideon Bible in the nightstand drawer. Instead, on the bureau will be a copy of ``An Inconvenient Truth,'' former Vice President Al Gore's book about global warming.
They'll also find the Gaia equipped with waterless urinals, solar lighting and recycled paper as it marches toward becoming California's first hotel certified as ``green,'' or benevolent to the environment. Similar features are found 35 miles south at San Francisco's Orchard Garden Hotel, which competes for customers with neighboring luxury hotels like the Ritz-Carlton and Fairmont.
``I'm not your traditional Birkenstocks and granola type of guy,'' said Stefan Muehle, general manager of the Orchard Garden, who said green measures are reducing energy costs as much as 25 percent a month. ``We're trying to dispel the myth that being green and being luxurious are mutually exclusive.''
The Gaia and Orchard are seeking to be the first hotels in California certified by the U.S. Green Building Council, which has authenticated 800 buildings across the U.S. and has about 6,000 in the process, including 30 hotels. San Francisco and other cities offer financial incentives to lessen water and energy use and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Seven years ago, the Green Building Council developed a rating system called the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED. Buildings are certified based on their use of environmentally friendly features such as recycled construction materials, solar lighting, and efficient energy and water systems. Older buildings may be retrofitted.
Sleeping Well
``If that choice is available, why not take advantage of it,'' said Josh Dorfman of New York, founder of furniture company Vivavi Inc. and a frequent traveler. ``It's a way to be able to enjoy traveling and to still feel good that I'm doing it in a way that supports a cleaner planet. It's a win-win.''
Building green isn't a priority for most publicly traded hotel chains, said Robert Lafleur, a hotels analyst at Susquehanna Financial Group in Stamford, Connecticut.
``The only green investors care about is the green that's on the money, not the green that's in the hotel rooms,'' Lafleur said. For visitors, ``it's location, price, convenience and brand affiliation.''
Some chains are participating on a limited basis. Marriott International Inc., the biggest U.S. hotel operator, has one LEED-certified hotel in Maryland and seven under construction. Hilton Hotels Corp., the second-largest, received its first certification in January for a hotel in Vancouver, Washington.
``We have a social responsibility,'' said Pat Maher, a senior vice president of Bethesda, Maryland-based Marriott. ``It also makes good business sense.''
`A Sea Change'
Swinerton Inc., a San Francisco-based construction company, has worked on more than 20 buildings seeking certification. The 86-room Orchard Garden, completed last year, was its first hotel, said Grant French, a Swinerton engineer.
``There's been a sea change,'' said French. Some companies ``are considering rolling out entire product lines of green hotels.''
Wen-I Chang opened the 132-room Gaia in the town of American Canyon last year. He's building other green hotels in Anderson and Merced and said he hopes to develop at least six more within three years.
Shorter Showers
Chang said he became an environmentalist in 1999, when he couldn't get a glass of water at a restaurant in Santa Cruz, California, because of a shortage in the area.
``I started thinking that there are many ways I can save water,'' said Chang, 62. ``I changed my shower habit from eight minutes to two minutes.''
Then he changed his building habits, after 10 years of developing Holiday Inn and Hilton franchises.
Chang said 43 cities have asked him to build green hotels. Some offer incentives to help cover construction costs, which were about 15 percent more for the Gaia. Chang said it's saving 25 percent on electricity and almost 50 percent on water, which may enable the hotel to turn profitable next month.
American Canyon slashed Gaia's transient occupancy tax by $1 million over three years. Anderson waived a $100,000 environmental impact fee, in part because a green hotel may encourage tourists to stay longer, said Scott Morgan, city manager.
San Francisco began giving priority to green projects last year. A developer may have to wait only four weeks to start construction instead of eight months, said Richard Chien, residential green building coordinator with the San Francisco Department of the Environment.
Getting Traction
``We need to get more traction,'' Chien said. ``We're facing problems with global warming and climate change and we're taking a cue to develop programs to address that at a citywide level.''
Any big new buildings California's government erects must be designed for LEED certification, by order of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The state is working to enact green construction standards for all buildings, said David Walls, executive director of the California Building Standards Commission.
Efforts by the state and cities have contributed to a surge in green development, said Bill Worthen, a senior associate at Simon & Associates Inc. in San Francisco. The consulting company is getting a call a day for projects, he said.
``It's a hip and trendy thing to do and one that's actually good for the planet,'' he said.
