"Wake up America, those who caused the problem are the same ones we are being told will fix it. Remember, they cause the problem, you react and then they come in as your savior to fix the problem. Read the book 'None Dare Call It Treason' by John A Stormer. It informs you about the plan to bring socialization to America. Get rid of the Federal Reserve! There is a reason the 2nd Amendment is in the Constitution." - Ken

"GO RICK SANTELLI and AMERICA.............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ACCOUNTABILITY..........duh." - Thomas T.

"OK so it's a 'bailout' but don't these loan borrowers still have to pay back the mortgage? Isn't it really government funded restructuring? I mean it's not as if the government is actually buying these homes and then just giving them to the homeowner. So I pay my bills, taxes, and work hard and play by the rules. My take is that if were not going to provide a way for homeowners to restructure then lets follow the 'free market or die' all the way to the end. NO MONEY FOR ANYBODY! Take back all the TARP money that we can get back, not a thin dime for Wall St. or Bank of.... or auto makers or anyone. But mind you let's also not pay out ANYTHING over the FDIC limits to ANYONE when this whole apple cart tips over. Just a thought." - Daniel S.

"Finally a voice of the silent majority of all places at an NBC network. If NBC itself would not be drooling over Obama and have a little objectivity in it's reporting on the new administration maybe it's ratings would improve and GE stock would possibly go up. The man of Hope and Change is really Doom and Gloom and is talking down our economy and only wants to change our country for the worse. This country became the best on Earth for the hard work of the people. People who work their butts off are being punished now. Where is the outrage? Rick Santelli is speaking for us." - Mike

"There MUST be a better way! THIS is NOT IT.  Where is the RECAPTURE in this housing (bail out) bill when the market recovers? What about a REAL tax cut - for EVERY WORKING or LEGITIMATELY unemployed (proof of work history) CITIZEN? What about the $15,000 TAX CREDIT for ANY buyer of a home in 2009, 2010? Just because a mortgage is being paid, doesn't mean the mortgagee isn't struggling or in need of help!" - S.L.B. 

"The only item that should be thrown into the Chicago River is Rick Santelli's tea party.  All investors and debtors must understand this: either we let the markets disorderly unravel the debt leading to fear and world wide depression or we conduct this unraveling in an expeditious and orderly fashion where both assets and debts are written down to levels that infuse confidence in the world wide consumers and the markets..." - Craig T.

"Rick Santelli - The ONLY VOICE OF REASON OUT THERE!  This is like the "shot heard 'round the world"! Welcome to the NEW American Revolution. AMERICANS, DO NOT be turned to Socialism/Communism/Marxism by Obama/Biden/Pelosi/Reid. Tell me when and where the tea party is and I will be there with many, many others.  Keep yelling Rick!!" - New Hampshire Patriot

"Rick, Kudos for your courage. Especially working for a network that is 'in the tank' for Obama... I am with you!"  - Ehud G.

"I have one question that I have not seen addressed regarding this bill.  If I take part in the program, and take the $1,000 every year, what happens when I sell my house? If my property value has increased at the time of sale, do I repay the $5,000, or I do I get to keep that as profit? I believe people would be far less outraged if that oney were to be repaid."  - John, Lancaster, PA
