Americans: How does it make you feel that 700 billion dollars???

[cellulariceteas]

Of your money is going to fix the bad business practices of banks and mortgage lenders?

You have an IP address from southern California, so shouldn't you be included?

It's fine by me. We fuck up collectively as a country more times than pretty much anywhere else, and we just about always seem to get ourselves out of it by ourselves. None of this "hey, we need help" from other countries, like pretty much every other country out there.

 

[cellulariceteas]

I was calling out my fellow american comrades.
Mike this should bother you because you, the taxpayer, are the one who has to foot the bill for other people's bad lending practices.

I am happy to be a Canadian for once in my life .

That would most likely lead to a tax increase.

Such is the price to pay to live in such a baller country.

 

[DB]

I'm kind of displeased. I'm going to show my displeasure with this by blowing up the world.

 

[Whaturmuva]

eh you just have to live as well as the mistakes let you, this time it was bigger than others... people will cope

 

[Kuro Neko]

AHHULD CAN'T SAVE YOU NOW

 

[Wing Zero]

bah i could only catch the last last minute of bush's address. anything i missed there?

 

[Gimmi]

Idk, seems to me a slightly higher tax rate somewhere along the lines beats a failure of the banking system. shrug

 

[T3h Sorrow]

remember the great depression? wasnt it great .

we had... ummm... dustbowls >.>

people happy to see another.... bread costing 100 bucks....

 

[Sogeking]

i'm more excited about the investigation. WOOOEEEE. but yeah, not excited about 700 billion dollars. Hopefully obama isnt elected, don't want to throw 1 trillion on top of that

 

[Tipsy]

How does it feel to know that the government set incentives via moral hazard to get us in this situation and the 700 billion dollars is just going to worsen and prolong a much needed market correction?

 

[Glowy]

I heard that this is just a conspiracy to get that proto-type money into the market... the usa-canadian-mexian doallar or something.

 

[HolmesSPH]

haha this is a funny issue.. no one really knows what will happen if we pass it.. their hoping it will help, bandaid a failing system... BUT, if we don't pass it then what? Thats the question for McDouche-Bag, if you want to oppose the bailout.. then what do you propose in it's place? We don't have much other choice.. however I will say that if that money was used WISELY it will do a great deal of good.. but there is no way that will happen...


Every dirty politician will try and have their special interests groups protected, yada, otherwise they'll loose their private jets, and corp limo's... it's a freaking tragedy!!

 

[Sogeking]

u do know obama's special interest groups include bank higherups that are involved in the shit that caused this mess right?

 

[AxL]

In case you haven't noticed, the whole world is actually going through some sort of economic crisis. It isn't restricted to America.

Eh you got a bit wrong, the reason why you hadn't had this in a while is because other countries have been bailing you out until this point, remember not so long Citi bank was failing? Who bailed them out? Other countries also keep buying up your debt thus allowing you to spend what you are currently spending, but they seem to have stopped trusting you as much thus why your tax payers (which unfortunately includes me) have to dish out the cash. What is ridiculous about this is that the bastards responsible for this are not getting punished, CEOs that is, more so I heard they're guaranteed 2.5 billion each in bonus checks. The government also doesn't seem to have a plan on how they're going to oversee the 700 billion dollars as of right now they're just giving the CEOs who failed this country with their greed and lack of business ethic a blank check.

u do know obama's special interest groups include bank higherups that are involved in the shit that caused this mess right?

And McCain's special interest groups aren't? Lobbyists are the true masters in Washington.

On a personal note, God, Budha, Yahve or Bill Gates, bless the Canadian gov't that gave me the greencard, Im abandoning ship and going north of the border.
