I was against the big bank bailouts but at least the govt got it's money back

By -
I was against the bailouts to the big banks because the govt. didn't get
enough concessions from the banks that received it. They should have broken
up the banks to smaller banks, that in the future would not be too big to
fail.

Fortunately for now the govt. got back most of their money, but it'll be a
long time, if ever before they get back the money lent to Fannie, Freddie
and AIG.

Projected Price Tag Shrinks


There were many who opposed the hefty bank bailouts after the financial
crisis set in, and they still have their ethical argument against the
government's decision, but the fiscal argument is growing faint. Treasury
announced this week that over 99 percent of the funds disbursed to banks
through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) have now been recovered.
Even the largest bailout of all - that of Fannie and Freddie - is expected
to shrink by nearly half over the next 10 years.

By -

  it's definitely worth being concerned about encroachments, especially in situations where someone is using a small portion of their neighbor's property without permission. Even if the neighbor is currently okay with it, there's no guarantee that they'll continue to be permissive in the future. It's definitely a problem that needs to be addressed prior to close of escrow. This is where property easements come into play, as they provide legal permission for someone to use a portion of another person's property for a specific purpose. It's important to understand the details of any easements that may be relevant to your situation, as they can impact your rights and obligations as a...
