Forums - General - Senate passes Bailout

I guess the new bailout passed and George signed it.
funny how the stock market was up this morning before the bill and now it's down.

I'm sure Asian markets will welcome the news but I'm saddened by it. My kids are going to pay for this.

The bailout will be renamed to "Condom".

A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed.

I called my congressman about it this morning... but I think he voted for it anyways... That is a shame, I really liked him.



this only proves that Democrats and Republicans sleep together at night.
No difference at all.

That sounds strikingly similar to what mafia bosses say just before they have someone killed.

Sounds like a plan to me

 



I am for and against this bill.

First, i think it will help the economy. but it is 700B to the national debt and we will need to pay for it later in the future.

I am against this. The Chinese and the Saudis know that we are gullible with our capital and go by the stupid "PAYGO" rule. We are passing around toxic debt and a slurry of bad decisions (CRA, Fannie/Freddie) to shore up our future financial lifelines with the East and the Arabs. America needs to be responsible like the Greatest Generation.



Well, Bush just signed it into law, so show is over folks.



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

Bailout's cost to you "by the numbers":

Bailout Bill $700 billion
Additional Pork $150 billion
Dow (-484) in 3 hours $600 billion
Total carnage to you, The Taxpayer $1.45 trillion

You know what to do in November, right?

Print it out, pass it around, email it to your friends. Congress "acts" and your 401k takes a cave-dive - without scuba tanks.
