The bail out bill is enough to give everyone over 18 in America 5 Million dollars. Thats a bit TOO much.

Please provide the numbers and math used to arrive at such a ridiculous claim.

I gotta laugh at the federally insured 100k...lolol...we owe China 500 billion
Dollars. If the sheet hits the fan our government will not have the money to cover
this situation. So you can take the Federal insured issue and throw it in the toilet

Did you fail math class?

Assume 200 million adults above 18.

$700 billion divided by 200 million people is $3500.

We can handle a re-adjustment. A government induced depression that lasts a decade and leaves us with a nationalized banking system is failure.

Freedom means a free market. Enforce fraud legislation. SEC should do it's job.

We should do ours.

VOTE NO!

700 Billion divided amoug 305,284,000 people would be about $2,292.95 regardless of age.  Of course the IRS would tax that, 30%, so subract about $687 from that, would give you $1605 per man, woman, and child.   wowowow, have a party...

It begins.  Dow's down 725 right now.  Friends in the financial sector have told me they wouldn't be surprised if we lost 1,200 points.

That'll be fine.


Don't forget that the trading of stocks is the same artificially inflated circle jerk roadkill that the trading of houses or loans is.

Back in early July of 2007, my financial adviser (a screwball genius named Kevin) suggested pulling all of my investments out of stocks and mutual funds.

"My analysis," he said, "indicates that the mortgage market is going to tank over lots of bad paper".

"That's your gut reaction?"

"No, that's my analysis. My gut reaction is that the housing toilet is going to be flushed and I don't want my clients on the seat when it does. Most of the big banks and investment houses are waste deep with sub-prime paper. It's time to get out."

I took his advice and by the end of the month, I was 90% liquid, IE: In cash. We left some in precious metals and some in oil and gas. With gold way up and oil still well above what it was a year ago, these are doing well enough. Although we jumped out about 3 months sooner than we should have, I'm not complaining.

So, now we wait for the market to bottom; make sure it's not just a momentary bounce. At that point, we go back in and buy.

I see nothing but opportunity for those with ready cash.

As one of the few OC Liberals (with a capital L please) - I simply wonder what the economy "failing" looks like. Maybe we need a picture of the Treasury with the word "FAIL" on it for the fail thread.

What happens if we don't buy bad debt from banks? They have to declare Chapter 11, and become insolvent? The FBI files hundreds of cases of fraud based on the method the bank used to hide the amount of leverage they were carrying? Is that a bad thing?

That may not be a bad thing. Pull a caravan of paddy wagons up to Wall Street and start filing them in.



I agree!  Oh no, we won't drive newer cars.  Oh no, we'll have to live or stay in our fixer upper.  Oh no, I'll have to work until I can't anymore.

Life is more than what money brings or no.

 watching Ron Paul during bail-out debate,i think he got a huge influence on senators and congressmen for "NO" vote: this guy has more brain than Obama and Mc.Cain combined, too bad for USA and rest of the world he doesn't run for White House anymore.

“Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time, and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out.”
