Yep, guess if the government doesn't hand over trillions in pork tomorrow to all the folks who got us into this, with little to no oversight then we'll instantly, overnight become Etheopia which is pretty much the line coming out of the WH on all this. *Sorry, don't buy it. My guess is more measured, controlled, thoughtful, action doesn't mean that the lucky ones will at least have dog carts to drive next week if we go that route. *This is the same as the AlQaeda and the Islamic Fundamentalists are going to wipe out America as we know it and take over here if we don't just sign a blank check for the Patriot Act and all the rest of the **** that got passed in that panic. *When they are insisting that Congressmen have to vote to pass this without even giving them the time to read the thousands of pages, "trust us", then that's beyond ****ed up, but hey if it works for you folks. Dumbass - From: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?p...gGBH8rr4Y&refe.... snip Buffett endorsed efforts by the U.S. to prevent the failure of financial firms including Bear Stearns Cos., which was sold to JPMorgan Chase & Co. The U.S. is being called to commit more capital to ailing financial companies after the $250 billion in aid it originally allocated last year failed to staunch losses on soured loans at regional lenders and the biggest banks. Avoiding Cataclysm “Whatever the downsides may be, strong and immediate action by government was essential last year if the financial system was to avoid a total breakdown,” Buffett said. “Had that occurred, the consequences for every area of our economy would have been cataclysmic. Like it or not, the inhabitants of Wall Street, Main Street and the various Side Streets of America were all in the same boat.” snipend thanks, K. Gringioni. |

... "Bill C" wrote in message ... There was NO need for the panic mongering after 9/11 and we'll be paying that pice for generations, and I think the same for this. What? Are you saying that we shouldn't have elected an avowed socialist into office and then act surprised when he is destroying our system of government? Tom: It's not our system of government that's been destroyed by Obama. It's our way of life that had been destroyed by those in power the last umpteen years, believing that regulation was bad, capitalism would take care of itself. Which it would, if not for the information gap. Information is everything, and the information that things were going bad was kept very tight for a very long time. What about the alternatives to what Obama has been pushing? For example, just let things fall apart and pick up the pieces. Let those who have profited from shady dealings collapse rather than be rescued. The economy would come to a standstill very quickly indeed. Business as usual would no longer be. But... Would it actually be worse than prolonging things as we are now, looking for the bottom but not knowing what the bottom looks like? Wanting so badly to start "recovering" but because we keep throwing band-aids out there, that recovery from the bottom is further off? There's going to be a lot of pain no matter what. The biggest difference between this "recession" and those of the past is that I usually didn't even know we were in a recession before until somebody defined it later. Not this time. OK, but let's get back to a specific "socialist" act of the current administration. Should the government own 80% of AIG, or should it have let it fail? --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.com Redwood City & Los Altos, CA USA "Tom Kunich" cyclintom@yahoo. com wrote in message ...

You hoping our President fails? I think Tom is hoping our President fails to teach us a lesson. But that will hopefully not happen, because this country has proven itself amazingly resilient to the whims of the person occupying the Oval Office. Unfortunately, the world itself is a bit less resilient to the effects the Presidency of the prior 8 years has had on the world markets. --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.com Redwood City & Los Altos, CA USA |

Examples: Chosin Reservoir and Stalingrad, respectively. The former is bad, but the latter is far, far worse. -Paul |

Pretty goddamm epically awful conflict. thanks, K. Gringioni. |
