Imagine DREAMING that the federal government could even do the simplest thing correctly with a minimum of resources utlized. All that money going from the taxpayers to the suits in a couple of weeks and we are saddling our children with this debt.

I have never dreamt that dream. Anyone that does and can is a fool.

Trust politicians are you kidding? Big joke. Politicians are not business people, financial experts or humanitarians. They are "politicians" their mantara "tax and spend", no logic required. Tax and spend so that their is enough money around for them to secure their next vote into office, or should I say to buying their next vote!!! From that 45% of that segment residing in the USA, who do not pay taxes.

These schemes floated by the Federal scumbags are just more road markers on the path to communism. What they are doing now is a form of nationalizing the banks. Note that the people in charge of this matter are the same ones who caused the problem. That's our government. They cause a problem then make it worse by attempting to fix it. They've been doing this since the beginning. I only hope they finally go bust so we can reorganize ourselves into independent ethnostates. Just think of how prosperous and free the Euro-American state will be when we shed the burden of the browns and their enablers. Amerikwan dumbocracy allows the useless air wasters to vote themselves a handout at YOUR expense. Why tolerate it any longer? Revolution and secession are the paths to freedom.

The sickening thing about this $700 billion bailout is that our incompetent congress in the likes of Sen. Schumer and Rep. Frank actually are trying to look like saviors when they and the Bush Republicans are responsible for the collapse of the financial system along with our brilliant greedy business ponzi scheme paperpushers. The stock market skyrocketed because Wall Street has won the government Lotto and they know there is no end to the amount of money congress is willing to dole out.

Judging from the "pithy" comments above, it is little wonder that politicians have their way with the American public. You commenters are dumber than so many sacks of hair.

Washington D.C. should leave the economy fixing to the Europeans. They seem to be better at fixing it.

Anytime you see Bush on T.V. or in print you can bet he's only hawking for his friends, never the working man. Now he's saying that this will not hurt the free market.

Free Market, Globelization, Wal-Mart.

Down with them all!

I fervently hope that the rest of the world will open it's eyes and see through this Pide Piper scheme presented by the US as something not healthy and not working and go back to protecting their own countries and to hell with the so-called "free market" scheme.

As for the US. We will definitly see a real depression and this latest scheme is just a band-aid to help Bush leave office and shore up money for his friends.

For the rest of us, Bush is peobably saying, "let 'em eat cake."

I believe this is a demonstration of just how artificial the economy is. The feds just borrow/print money and encourage banks not to hoard this additional liquidity, but to keep lending it irresponsibly as they had been to anything that can drag itself in off the street. What are they called...oh yeah...ninjas...no income no job and no assets. What a great foundation to build upon and keep the fantasy going.

Perhaps your use of the word "pithy" comment is dumb...

"Pithy" means to have substance and to the point; as do most of the comments on this forum. So in effect thank you for the compliment.
