$700B Bailout Fails To Ease Worries As Dow Plunges 800 Points Before Recovering Somewhat

[closethippy1]

700 billion and I still cannot sell my condo. I bought it for 102k and now I can''t even get anyone to look at it for 65k.
I bet Bush is feeling sorry for the people who duped me into buying the condo and probably hates the guts of people like me for not being smart enough not to be fooled by his Wall Street buddies.
When I bought my condo I was told by some appraisers
that it was actually worth 110k. What a deal, eh?
But like a spoil brat he only knows how to blame others for his rebellious ways and will never accept responsability for his actions. And the same goes for every media pundit out there trying to spin this mess to blame the democrats for it.
I was lied to and I want out of my contract. Can''t the government do anything to help me out with the 700 billion they now have?

Time the hidden agenda behind this financial fiasco was revealed, it has very little to do with mortgages, thats their excuse to a deluded and deprived nation.

ANYONE SEEN CHENEY ???

The 700 Billion dollar bailout bill does nothing to re-instill confidence and trust in economic institutions that used usurious methods to prop up balance sheets that were filled with lies.

Without trust there is no economy. The 700 Billion dollar bill may just be something to keep white collar criminals in business.

Well... Its going to be hard to change the course of debate off of this. This is going to trump all news all day. When it rain...it pours.

Its the economy stupid

Well, there goes McCain''s plan to "turn a page" on the economy and focus on personal attacks and character assassination.

1. How much have you heard of Bush%u2019s religiousness since he was re-elected in 2004? Barely a word, because he doesn%u2019t need it anymore for re-election. He is no more religious than the man-in-the-moon%u2026 never was, never will be, you sap-headed evangelical voters.
2. Do not think that the unemployment numbers being as bad now as after 9/11 is coincidence.
3. Bush/Cheney & Co. have sucked us as dry as possible by lowering taxes (as bait to go along), but then lowering earnings expectations by a much bigger margin to save business interests.
4. This way has continued to line the pockets of big business and the financial industry at our expense. Look at oil profits, Dubya/Darth%u2019s pet industry%u2026.
5. Bush/Cheney & Co. couldn%u2019t get any more from us by the methods that have worked since 2001, so they went the route which they have scared America into now%u2026 $700 billion to make YOU and ME pay for untold numbers of bad investments to keep the pockets lined in the business world. Meanwhile, WE the public will buy the toxic assets, and still let THEM decide what to do with them.
6. The public will never see a dime of return on any of the so-called toxic assets, ever%u2026. If you believe any word of the bailout plan, you need a shrink. Dems and Repubs were herded in by this horse-man-ure, not coincidentally just before an election. This bailout plan would never have passed except late in an election year and Dubya/Darth knew it.
