Comments on: $700B Bailout Plan Won't Rescue CEOs

Officials: Paulson Bows To Lawmakers' Demands To Curb Pay Packages Of Executives

[whitemale08]

HEY WALL STREET....WE''RE NOT BUYING THIS KRAP!!!!!

I won''t to see every yacht sold, I want to see Donald Trump in the soup lines before we give you guys ONE DA** PENNY!!!!!!!!!!!

HELL NO!!!! THE CONSTITUTION SAYS NO BAILOUTS!!!!!

This is way too big to trust to Congress. Why not just let the people vote on the bailout, one way or the other? You remember the concept of government "by the people", don''t you? Yes, it would delay things a bit, but that would be a good thing. I hate Paulson and Bernanke''s DEMAND to spend $700 NOW, without taking the time to think about it.

Are you aware that most Wall Street execs are Democrats?

the Atomic bomb was built with the Help of Nazi''''s

While I share your sentiment that the neoCONS are swine, I don''t think the atomic bomb statement is accurate. The Manhattan Project''s success was all due to the team of scientists we had assembled. Most of those scientists were Jews or of Jewish descent who fled Hitler''s Europe to escape a near certain death in the camps. Einstein, Fermi, Szilard, Teller, etc would not have done the work they did if there were overt or covert sympathizers to National Socialism and Hitler in their midst, nor would the US government have allowed anyone with any shred of Nazi sentiment near the project as the ultimate enemy at the time were Nazi scientists who we thought were also developing an atomic bomb and with whom we were in a race to finish first.

The Bush administration has reduced subsidized lunch programs in schools as it being too expensive, yet can easily expect seven hundred billion plus additional dollars to bailout the bad decisions and money rich corporations.

That has been the defining trademark of the Bush administration. It has consistently decried any appropriation for anything that is American, even the appropriations for the vets returning from Iraq, but continues to advance more appropriations for the rebuilding of Iraq and Georgia(look carefully at McCain''s association with the president of Georgia and why he announced that "we are all Georgians".
Interesting note that shows palin has the same mind set. When Congress stopped the "bridge to nowhere", Tom Coburn, OK-R, advised that Alaska return the money to help with the reconstruction in New Orleans after Katrina, instead palin''s administration kept it and used some of the money to build the "road to nowhere" 3 miles of gravel road costing $8,000,000per mile.

["I share the outrage that people have," Paulson told the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday. "It''s embarrassing to look at this. I think it''s embarrassing to the United States of America. There is a lot of blame to go around." ]

really ... you share the outrage henry?

so henry ... start naming names ... and make sure you include all your influential friends ... both on wall street and public service.

the money should be provided contingent on an in-depth analysis of the factors that have not only led to this problem ... but the other questionable practices forwarded by wall street and other financial experts as sound.

if people want to gamble ... there''s plenty of casinos around the world already in place for this activity. wall street should not be a casino w/ various games of chance (financial instruments) w/ the rules so complicated that nobody can understand how they work.

If the payout goes through, every corporation involved in this meltdown should fire those CEOs with NO compensation. After all, they probably all own enough stock in these corporations to support them in style the rest of their lives and still they will get some of the taxpayer''s bailout money. We bailed out the S & L''s with few restrictions and look what has happened again. Then, we not only made rich corporate heads, but also legislators (look up the Keating 5 notes) Everytime , the taxpayer contributes to more millionaires they bite us back. Both Republicans and Democrats in Congress have benefitted from these corporations, now, it is time for both Repulicans and Democrats to forget their individual piggy banks and do what is best for all the citizens, not just the power mongers.

This disaster is an accumulation of errors. All approved and monitored by the Bush Administration.

Do you guys make this stuff up as you go and then except people to believe your garbage.

Just like you neo cons came out and said Warren Buffet was a Republican. But then he isn''t so you try to sling mud at him. Same thing just throw the mud and hope some will stick.

Swing voters will not be so easily fooled this election.
