Soooeeey, pig, pig, pig!!!

How's that whole "global economy" thing working out for us, anyway?

Since it was the most retarded, sure-fire disaster I'd ever heard at the time, I'm not horribly shocked.

But hey... everyone needs to continue doing nothing when politicians' special interests think they can make a quick buck at the expense of the American People, and by all means people...

And this is very important...

You need to continue to reelect the people who were involved with the "globalization."

I mean, it's common sense... when you're by far the wealthiest country in the world, you need to radically change your policies so as to make it easier for emerging nations to slice themselves off a chunk of what's yours.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Thanks, Bubba.

Thanks, American Voters... your ever=present genius comes shining through once again. But at least I have hope for you... many of you seem to support one of the biggest scammers in the history of American politics. Whatever you do, don't vote out those who have let you down and demand reform... continue the staus quo, since it's been so good to us.



Here's a thought -- every fucking penny any financial institute that took bailout money goes to tax relief. The Board of all of those companies are to be paid minimum wage (which is clearly more than they're worth). If they leave their position, they are on the hook for a percentage of their companies debt.

If financial institutions are going to suck the tit of the American Taxpayer (since this is the "liberal utopia" YOU PEOPLE supported and voted for), then let's keep this socialist ball rolling and make those people grind their fingers to the bone until their debt is paid.

Once they start becoming profitable again, they should be held responsible for the entire income tax bill.

The only way to do that is to vote for a third party guy, like Barr or Chuck Baldwin (Ron Paul endorses him).

Or write in Dinsdale. You seem to have all the answers and even if you don't, would probably do a better job than anyone of recent history. That is until you get corrupted by all the money and pussy you'll be getting.

I think I could recapitalize with the relatively paltry sum of oh...say $5 billion.
$500 million would get me part way there, but wouldn't go quite far enough.

Where do I go to sign up?

[Tom In VA]

This is not a big deal. He's only talking about 5 Billion here and there in increments. No big deal.

And we're heading for 7% unemployment anyway ? Crap, I'm starting my trek north.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

Crap, I'm starting my trek north.

Quit yakkin'. Start packin'.

Well I was waiting to see if the deal meant some more cash money for me ......




To bring to Canada of course. :wink:

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

Well, that's different then.

Liberating capital from running dog lackey imperialists to share with your proletariat comrade workers...

I see you workin', Tom... Nice.

[battery chucka' one]

I heard Newt talking on Hannity today. I agree with him. Sure we let them have the bailout money. As a loan. They pay the taxpayers back in five years, with interest. I'm alright with that.

[Mister Bushice]

ok mvscal. Lets say they follow your plan, and let them all crumble, and subsequently let the stock market crash right along behind it.

So what happens then in this scenario of yours?

Kangaroo court, flying court's marshal, followed by some quickie hangings, back home in time for "Deadliest Catch".

[Mister Bushice]

And - what do you think the odds are of that scenario happening?

We're in for a roughish 6 to 9 months (possibly more can't really make calls any further out than that), .

We won't really know for sure until KC Scott weighs in

If this is all just about bad home mortgages, there's really no reason commercial credit should be severely æffected. Investors will still have money that will need to be invested somwhere.

Home Mortgage lenders will have to find some other source of cash than selling securitized mortgages- and they will; mortgage rates will likely go up, but mortgage loans will still be made- just as they were before mortgage-backed securities were invented
