Yeah that's an awesome idea! Financial collapse was so cool back in the 1930s, we should do it again. What would happen to all those public projects and medicare and welfare? Oh, that's right, they'd cease to exist and probably wipe out the entire current poor class and 40% of the middle class. I guess that's ONE way of getting rid of all the Obama supporters
Seriously man, think about the reprecussions of letting these big investors totally collapse. We already just had like 10,000 people lose their jobs. Good thing we're rebuilding and investing in Iraq. We might have to move there soon

I'm as liberal as anybody, but bailouts have to stop at some point. I mean AIG might not be the right firm to let fall through, but failures have to happen in a market eventually.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
