Wow it's sad how far the McCain has fallen since the Primary season...He really isn't going to get many independent voters by going negative from here on out...hi2u 500+ point stock drop so far.

P.S. This one made me laugh for the Palin one...

To play devil's advocate, the bailout was meant to help the credit market and largely had nothing to do with the stock market. A large reason that stocks are tanking is the huge unemployment numbers that came out on Friday. Of course, another large reason they are tanking is that the credit market is shit and no one has any confidence that the bailoutplan is going to fix that.

So GG panic. Bailout did nothing. In fact, probably negatively affected the market because when people see that this 700 billion isn't working they know that the money shot has been blown, there isn't another 2 trillion hiding in the coffers.

yep. jussssssssssst like Roubini said.

I'm sure glad it was really important to pass it as soon as possible without taking the time to research it though.

That worked out well. Thank god we didn't listen to like a single economist or else we might have actually you know not fucked ourselves in the ass with a dildo made of broken glass and covered with acid, flesheating bacteria, and aids.

Actually come to think of it, so is the Iraq war! We're also winning that.

So we broke the economy, broke banks, broke 100's of years of established contractual principles that keep the economy functioning (because the bill contained a provision to fuck over credit markets too because no one would actually know how much debt anyone was holding if a judge could just rewrite a mortgage at any given time), and it did fuck all to address main streeters concerns, half of which contributed to the problem by getting homes they couldn't afford.

god life is just awesome.

im glad i work in the government sector.

But you heard the arguments! We had to do SOMETHING! And it had to happen right then! And with no actual thought about the problem, SOMETHING had to be done!

So what's the over/under on the tax increase due to this bailout farce?

Sorry, but that picture is completely biased. I fixed it for fairness.

Mippo · 10-06-2008, 01:46 PM

We didn't have to do shit, and the regulations they placed on the bailout are going to make banks not want to participate which isn't going to help at all.

Some of the stupidity on this thread is just mind boggling. Aladain said something like this isn't going to affect the elderly because they are all in safe investments that are only down 1%. WTF? Some people are just so distant from reality it's crazy. While it might be true that SOME are only down 1%, and heck some might even be turning a profit (I'm up 32% on the year) depending on what they invested in, it's safe to say the vast majority of people have seen a good chunk of their investments lose value.

Not to mention that under the Bush administration, the value of the dollar is also worth about half of what it was when he took office.

Oh wow i see the light now. Your plan was so MUCH better. OBVIOUSLY the economy would be fine now under YOUR plan. There's NO POSSIBLE WAY the economy would have took a dive down under YOUR plan.

Oh what's that? your plan was to just let everything crash and burn? Oh gee I almost forgot...

Its easy to criticize when you don't consider any alternatives (or don't have any)

Aren't you supposed to be sucking Lou Dobbs milky white right now?
