Don’t believe the hype, as the song lyric goes. Well, do you really think that this bailout is going to help you or me or is it going to keep the status quo, well, status quo? Wall Street and the banking institutions threw a party and as we’ve all read, sent their bloated frat boys on vacations after getting drunk off the blood, sweat and tears of the average hard-working American, avariciously mortgaging us out of house and home and now they want us to refinance their orgy of greed. The party got so out of hand that it affected everyone else in our global neighborhood and many futures have been foreclosed and now the government, parental as ever, is stepping into the picture and telling old Fannie and Freddie next door that the block party is over. Meanwhile, Bernanke, Paulson and their cabal wipe the distaste of oversight and wretched excess from their mouths with clean white linen napkins but who gets stuck with the bill? There are 700 billion reasons why this swindle doesn’t wash spotless but billions more coming why we will just have to clean up this mess and go straight to bed without supper like they told us.

Here, Here, Brother!
Well my friend, you hit the nail!!!!!!
Amen - when you do the math, it's the equivilent of each man, woman, and child in this country contributing $2333 towards the bailout. Maybe if the government would give each of us a check for that amount we could stimulate the economy better than anyone on Wall Street. Good job, Joe!

Your turn

PERFECT commentary on the day's situation!
Nice.
Great Job! Couldn't have said any better in six sentences.

I loved how this builds. Each sentence is longer than the one before it. The last sentence runs without even a pause for breath.
Hey Joe, I just nominated you to run for President on the Common Sense ticket! Though you did not seek, will you accept the nomination?
I could quote LBJ here, but Zelda, how could I turn down such a sweet offer, even if as Mark Twain said, common sense isn't so common? LOL. You can be my running mate, then.
This fucking rocks!

Are we ever going to eturn to prosperity,or will these conmen always wait for us to achieve something and then steal from us?
The problem is the legal way has flipped inside out into being de facto illegal,although bent around by armies of lawyers,that protect the bank's predatory transactions alive.Somebody should save us from them,and demand that interest rates not exceed 5%.
