Obama is seeking the destruction of Wall Street and Main Street just to have a political talking point.

And some people want this deranged lunatic Obama for president?

And I suppose you have a very well trusted source for this information, right? Why not blame him for the holocaust and world famine while ur at it.

I stand to lose 20% of my retirement savings if AIG goes under. My money has been with them for over 25 years. It may be in the best interest of the country to protect small investors like me. I''m sure there are thousands of others. However, in order to maintain are standard of living throughout the country many changes need to occur. We need to protect the American farmer and other businesses to bring back jobs that will pay benefits. A health insurance plan that includes current insurance companies needs to be developed. We can not continue to provide jobs based on the Wal Mart philosophy any more.

who might this ''global socialist elite'' be? what characteristics uniquely identify them ... how will we be able to identify them?

De-regulation and greed brought us here. Nothing more and nothing less. De-regulation and the less GOV is good GOV idiots are to blame. Greed is the driving force of it all. Oil CO''''s are now making record profits just like the Finacial Institutions have for the last 8 years. When are you going to blame and start hanging the CEO''''s that got us into this mess!

Posted by txlakeside at 12:50 PM : Sep 16, 2008

Yes and that same GREED will most certainly destroy us all!

[skyk239]

Oh Joy! Another burden on the backs of tax payers. THIS wouldn''t be so bad IF we still had our industrial base with ALL those High Paying Jobs... they all 600,000 of them are now gone. Thanks Repub''s.

[txlakeside]

Religious idiots got us in this mess by supporting a lieing, greedy and corrupt President and Vice President. Keep your religion in the church where it belongs.

Let AIG tank, they''re a bunch of criminals, about every 10-12 years, they get caught up in some insurance scam, they take the money and they don''t pay off when a disaster strikes. Then they start advertising like crazy to get back the customers they lost. The new customers get sucked in and the whole thing does a full circle. Send the management to ethics courses in prison.

NO BAILOUT for the scum.

I think, as a practicing witch, its the fault of Christians who also work in industry, BECAUSE followers of the white religions(peacefull,..I think not)are truely EVIL---


HA,...LOOK IT UP YOURSELF!

-(Luke 12:49-51)-

Jesus was really mean -

---- ("I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed! 51Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division.")

The government will pressure other companies to save AIG or else will bail it out. They had to let Lehman sink as a whipping boy political move, to placate the great unwashed who shouldn''t have to bear the cost of bailing out bankers who knowingly worked with unethical brokers for sheer greed. Lehman''s down the tube, the sacrificial lamb who happened to deserve it, but the other cronies will be saved.

pmsnbc1 are you right wing nuts that clueless? You just don''t see it pride before the fall. If China divested itself of our currency it puts it out on the opne market if buyers don''t buy they charge less. That means it costs us more to borrow.

If you are too stupid to breath the air don''t drop dead that solves many problems.

First you don''t waste valuable air and then you don''t breath out green house gases.

Have a nice day all.

"...McCain... will say or do whatever his Karl Roveish handlers tell him to!!! "

Posted by cruzn66

Naturally. McCain didn''t even have any say on who his running mate would be!

The puppet strings were most apparent when McCain tried to select Joe Lieberman or Tom Ridge.

They smacked McCain down in a heartbeat and forced him to hastily choose Palin, a rabid right-winger who opposes reproductive choice even in cases of rape and incest.

This is NOT the vision I have for America. If it IS yours, by all means, vote McSame!

[cruzn66]

Where was Mr. McCain when all fo these oversight safety nets were being dismantled by6 the Bush administration. No sign of the ol'' maverick then, and probably won''t see much of him if he''s elected. He just wants the title, not the responsibility, and he will say or do whatever his Karl Roveish handlers tell him to!!!

Posted by nomav

By his own admission, McCain is ignorant about the economy. But even a fool can see there are major problems.

No, I''m sure McCain understands this is a catastrophe in the making. But if he admits this, he will be expected to provide solutions - a terrifying prospect for a clueless candidate.

So all is well! No problems... economy''s doing great!

Do you buy it?

The Bush administration already passed an aid package to assist the mortgage holders of the sour real estate loans. Expecting the Bush administration to now provide help to the bank will come with a high price. If Lehman Bros can pay that high price without enduring an unfair advantage with other firms in the industry, so much the better, but it is not a realistic expectation.

Wall Street will repair itself and the international arena will have a stake in the proccess. Fortunately Lehman Bros has some other sectors in it''s holdings that are performing very well, and the existing liquidity problems will be passed off as the common cold.

There are many angry investors who will demand changes in the policies of the lending arena where this problem originated.

There certainly are no shortage of participants who lost their homes, equities, 401k''s and savings trying to survive.

While a business can write off before-tax losses off their books, consumers took most of their losses after-taxes and many won''t be in a position to re-invest to that level again in the next 5 years to take some tax relief.

China holds an unimaginably large portion of US debt. Without China''''s continued support for the dollar, the US currency would have devalued to the point of worthlessness long ago. However, China has recently stated publicly that they are planning to diversify their holdings out of exclusively dollar denominated assets. The dollar is just not a good investment anymore.

Funny how the world reacts when the 800 pound gorilla, the U.S. economy, hits a bad patch.

If the world thinks it''s useless, wonder why their markets fall in tandem.

LIBS continue to bash America first!

[pmsnbc1]

The dollar continues to be devalued as the Federal Reserve Bank keeps rates low inflating the money supply to never before dreamed of levels. This, in turn, drives prices up even as wages are falling due to the exportation of jobs overseas....

Current inflation rate approximately 3.9%

Try again LIB.
