Text of a Letter from the President to the Speaker of the House of Representatives
In the FY 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act, Public Law 110-161,
$3,691,391,000 was designated by the Congress as an emergency
requirement contingent upon a formal budget request by me that
includes designation of the entire amount as an emergency requirement.

And we also understand that when people suffer it makes it more likely that some may turn to the ideology of those who use murder as a weapon. So it’s in our national security interest and it’s in our — in the interest of our conscience to confront this, what we have called a genocide. And I want to thank you for taking this on.”

Hillary’s modest proposal (to wreck the housing market)
Hillary Clinton is no dummy. Even her detractors know that. And yet in last night’s Democratic presidential debate in Nevada, Clinton floated what is perhaps the dumbest solution to the current mortgage mess I’ve heard from a top presidential contender.
