I’m not happy with all the pork, but the analysts on Fox made it seem as though a lot of these items were in a bill that they have been trying to pass in congress all year. Therefore it isn’t like any of this stuff is new to the Senators, and they probably already had their minds made up when they heard it was attached. I can’t say that I’m happy with this process, cause now this do nothing congress has become the procrastinating congress :/

Why, oh why is he even allowed to negotiate, or participate? This clown should be in prison…along with Frank and others.

Beat me to it. This man should be doing the perp walk like dear Barnie, Obummer, and anybody else who looked the other way while the two FM’s did shady deals and covered up what happened with fraudulent accounting practices. Dodd and his cronies should ALL give back the FM money to the taxpayer- to who the money truly belongs now.

Financially high risk behavior indeed. There are $63 trillion in high risk derivatives out there looking for a place to sit down.

Musical chairs? Ponzi scheme? Junk paper up the wahinki.

Deck chairs on the Titanic anyone? We all know who got the life boats right? And we all know who got locked down below deck, right?

Hold your nose and hope for the best. There are going to be defaults and belly ups by the thousands as Paulson et al tip toe away from the wreckage.

Of course, the recipients of these bailout funds will be painted as the virtuous and most needy. The rest of the fallen, who will trickle out in a steady cavalcade of pain over the next 2 years, will be cast into the abyss as deserving something other than the Grand Duke Paulson’s magic cash wand.

The Great Bail Out will look like a garden hose spray compared to the river of worthless paper and dollars that is about to burst the dam of corruption that is our financial institutions.

To the savvy this will be a time for building some honest wealth as valuations return to the bargain basement, where consistency-stability-integrity will be rewarded.

And like the old saying goes, if you want to find any of the former “brokers” and “deal doers”, to learn what happened to all that money they made, just say “WAITER?!!?!?!??!”.

This is gonna be fun to watch.

Bear1909 out.

Infuriation nation…

Here are some things that have infuriated the heck out of me over the last week or so, in no particular order (warning: strong language ahead):

Anybody got a Fax # for Lindsey Graham? Apparently, no one’s home at his office. We know we will not change his mind, but it is so infuriating to hear these pompous a##&s saying that WE just do not “get” it.
Did any one else hear Graham offering the testimony of his Used Car Salesman constituent, who supports him in this?

The supporters have admitted that they do not even know if this 700 Billion boondoggle will work, but they are willing to take the risk???!!!???!!!
SO, THEY ARE WILLING TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS FINANCIALLY HIGH RISK BEHAVIOR TO ADDRESS THE FINANCIALLY HIGH RISK BEHAVIOR THAT CREATED THE PROBLEM???!!!???

Oh, and this legislation does not even address the “HIGH RISK BEHAVIOR”.
Please, any of you that are stepping up to the plate by contacting Congress, please do not stop, & organize as many peeps as you can.

This appears to me to be nothing more than sanctioned looting to the treasury.

If this is how business is to be conducted going forward, we are screwed.

Many of us have demanded the politicians do the proper thing, they have turned their backs on us.

The 400 pages of pay-offs is all it took, to turn the Treasury of the United States if America over to looters.

Welcome to Hell!

Let’s face it, our country is now run by a bunch of losers who couldn’t pull of managing a small town 7-11 without running it into the ground.
