Don’t Keep Talking Happy Talk

This is like crying fire in a room full of people wearing gasoline underwear while walking on hot coals.

Why does everyone here REFUSE to tie this Democratic Congress to ANY OF THIS? Are you THAT stupid? Bush should be impeached, Paulson and Benacke fired and everyone else voted OUT. They are robbing you blind and you refuse to see it. They either have to be the dumbest Congress on record and that includes both candidates, or complicent in this fraud.

One of the defining aspects of Wall Street's trickery of the American people is their constant assurances that their system is wonderful, and then all of the sudden, Paulson tells us we MUST pass this bailout immediately, without time for reflection or discussion. The haste, the sudden rush to overwhelm any rational discussion on the part of the people -- that is the most obvious sign of Paulson's personal corruption as the front man for an industry that has been corrupted by its unprecedented accumulation of wealth and power.

I now have to just hope that all the kings horsemen and all the kings men have a <F%#@*&> clue.
I have never believed in the economic-magic of a service economy. You have to make things to sell. We killed the middle class, on a cross of false paper. The GOP's answer is more tax cuts for the top 5% and crumbs for the people.
If at the end of this, the people go looking for these CEO's with hot tar and feathers, I am so down for the game. Yes old bald fat ugly grey me. We're going to need someone who has done this before.
This ponzi scheme of paper to cover paper blew up on the Republicans before they left town.
They are going to need to move Fox studios from downtown to Cheney's Secret Location."

.........and this is exactly WHY the American people rail against the government's semi-swift intervention in the market. They've been fed the pablum from their news choices without filtering the gab and to finally come to their own correct conclusions. Therefore, the "Bail out " and it's necessity to keep the banking system running in our country. Like it or not.
