now everyone go out and vote republican... [sarcasm]

all of our tax monies have been completely wasted for the last 8 years. Jobs are dissapearing faster, wages are down, not one single thing done to help with healthcare, but 100''s of billions wasted on a BS war and bank bailouts.

Screw the government, and screw America if this is what it has become.

Another weekend of no golf for the Plunge Protection team.

Another economic debacle created by the Bush administration. And just like Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac, all the negative news is deliberately leaked out on a Saturday morning. But don''t worry, the deal will be finalized by Monday. A multi billion dollar deal hammered out in minutes. If you people believe what this republican administration is telling you, well then you deserve to have your tax dollars stolen.

[hypnotoad72]

Well, get Indian, Chinese, and Russian taxpayers to pay for it. They''re the only ones not being screwed over. Yet.

nYour statement is typical liberal class warfare. This is a capitalists society, only the poor should pay.

If this is a "capitalist society", sir, then don''t bail out anyone.
You freak b.astards rightwing i.diots like to talk a big game about survival of the fittest in a "capitalist society" but when the corporate geniuses destroy themselves because of their savage greed then they run to the government like a two year old baby crying for his mommie.
The corporate world needs to be placed in a cage and watched like the animals they are to make sure that in the future this doesn''t happen again.
They truly couldn''t care less if they bring down the entire country with them as long as they get their taxpayers'' money to bail them out so they can get the hell out and live in their 7 mansions around the world.
And people like gop_will_win and his ilk will be more than happy to follow their corporate bosses around so they can shine their shoes and dance for them when told to do so.

These guys get away with it because they kick money to both parties.
America, should NOT allow donations to come from anybody but private citzens.

I bet the CEO will still get his million dollar bonus while the company goes down the tube. They should serve jail time.

Isn''t it great that a handful of super-rich and powerful people pull the strings that run our country.

Regulation or de-regulation are both mixed bags of folly. One (Regulation) invites extra help from an outside source (i.e IRS or other Government). The other (De-regulation) attracts every opportunist that comes down the road because "Big Brother" aka the IRS and US Government don''t trust us to report income, therefore with de-regulation there would be less acountability and as a consequence, less revenue to fund wars abroad as we go further in debt.

This is just an idea, that I know will not work because too may have too much to loose, but how about going back to the original system of trade/barter system. I (You) have something to trade for something you (I) need or visa versa. Fair and equitable if both agree. No futures (Read: Investment and futures trading beyond our control) conjuring hopes involved. Then we wouldn''t be in this calamnity at all. No system of loss w/o consent unless you are an idiot, and everything''s fair. End of subject. N''est Pas? Non? Escuse'' s''il vous plait. IT''s not. Excuse me if you please?
