Sometimes, I just don't underfreakin get it!

[Mafesto]

We all now a few people who have decent jobs & should be getting by,
but they are behind on many of their important obligations.
Such as rent/mortgage, credit cards, utilities etc.
Seems these same people always have money for things like
cigarettes, video lottery, booze etc.
What I'm saying is they are squandering their resources.

Here's my question.
If you were to give these people $1000 with no strings attached,
how much of that would actually be used to pay outstanding debt?
I bet we are all thinking very damned little, if any at all.

So why would anyone think the banking industry would be any different?

We give them the better part of a trillion dollars.
Then we find out they pissed it away without changing the operational
methods that put them in the dire straits they are in.

So we give them another trillion, they make sure their office suites are remodeled with the best of the best & top execs get their bonuses.

So we give them even more money.........& the cycle continues.

I will readily admit that I am not a highly educated individual, but it is crystal
clear to me that this is INFREAKINSANE!!!!

If we can somehow survive the next four years of Obama's experiment of
conversion into socialism, (and that's a damned big "IF")
our grandchildrens grandchildren will be attempting to make intererst
payments on this debt.

That's a terribly depressing way to think about it. Just wait, it gets worse!
There is one way the administration can mitigate the astronomical debt they
are racking up........the more they de-value our dollar, the smaller the debt
will actually be. You guessed it, they actually WANT our currency to tank!

My butts already sore & we still got over 3 years, 9 months left................if we survive.

 

[jsledder]

Join the club. Getting pretty darn depressing.

Here's another thought as long as I'm on a tyrade.

These senators, congressmen & such come on national TV & demonize anyone
who received a bonus on the taxpayers dime.
They claim there is no place for pay increases when the company is losing money.
These are the same dillweeds that continue to vote in pay raises for themselves, even though our country is financially circling the drain.
If I were a monkey, I'd crap in my hand & throw it at these fuktards!
Don't piss in my face & tell me it's raining!

 

[Ollie]

That's ok.
The moron Obama put in charge of the financial system (ya know, the one who doesn't pay his taxes), wants the ability to take control of AIG and any other company he deems necessary.
Only one problem with this.
It's unconstitutional.
Flat out illigal. Even the dems are complaining about the constitutionality of it all.

Obama is dead set on breaching the constitution.

 

[Mafesto]

and another..........

These senators, congressmen & such saying it's not their fault about passing
a bill with loopholes to provide thes execs bonuses because they didn't read through it.

They didn't read through a bill that was the largest expenditure in US history.

That's so mind boggleing I will say it one more time.

They didn't read through a bill that was the largest expenditure in US history!

What does one even say to something that stupid? I'm at a loss for words.

 

[go high fast]

The incompetents in DC are not qualified in any way to solve business problems of any kind. At best they are carnival types who promise you the big stuffed gorilla if you take a chance on them with your vote. Most of them are loser attorneys from dysfunctional backgrounds who failed to survive in the real world of responsibility and productivity. They have allowed, in fact supported, the environmental movement to shut down entire industries. They will never take a tough stand, or any stand, on imigration. They continue to penalize productivity and success and redistribute hard earned wealth.

Folks, if you understand the population curve, social spending on medicare, medicaid and social security is Katrina X 10 and its headed our way. Stimulus spending in the U.S. under the disguise of bailouts for the auto, banking, insurance, financial services industry is Katrina X 30 and its here. At least we could rebuild after the Katina disaster. I dont see us rebuilding after this desaster.

Gieghner looks like a freshman college kid who wandered in to the wrong classroom and is lost in a graduate economics course. He, like the entire administration, doesnt even sound convincing or confident.

The most unbelievable thing I have ever seen is the dopes in DC voting to tax at 90% the AIG bonus amounts.

I'm concerned about our future. 2 of my 3 kids are straight A students with a list of activities that is mind bongleling but unfortunately I am sadly confident that they will be the first generation of our country who is not as well off as thier parents.

So in a nutshell Mafesto is right.....stop rewarding economic failure with our tax dollars and let our free market system reallocate resources as necessary. THIS IS LUNACY!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Diesel99]

[Pimp Daddy]

We are so freakin' screwed.

The disgusting part that these folk seem to for get is that they are PUBLIC SERVANTS! They snivel and beg for our votes, then when elected they turn and stick that fork deep in our backs. I thought that as a representative, that they are employees of the people, not the people are employees of theirs. Just keep track of what they do and when its time to vote, remeber and fire them.

Right on Puff,
Everybody needs to remember that these scumbags in the congress and senatate are put there by US. We HAVE TO VOTE THEM OUT when the next election comes around.

It may seem small and dumb but I REFUSE to watch any TV brought to us by NBC,ABC,and CBS. I will ONLY watch FOX .
The liberal media has a HUGE part in this mess and we ( as a people) need to stop supporting them by NOT watching them.
Just my 2 cents worth.

• the global economy will grind to a halt

• souplines for all the developed countries, famine and death for 3rd worlders

• one world government will take hold, global socialism

• that will all fall apart very shortly

• WWIII will happen

• A huge portion of the worlds population will die

• these are my doom and gloom predictions.

In all reality every member of congress who voted for the largest expenditure in history without even reading it should be voted out, impeached, fired or lined up and shot. Collins, Snowe and Arlen Sphincter should be included. The rest of the republicans should be run off in one way or another for not trying hard enough to stop this disaster. How can any one be so stupid? Even liberal europe is trying to tell dip**** that he can't spend his way out of a depression.
He apparently wants to go down in history as the man who spent the most money of any one in the history of the world. What a piece of work. Not enough adjectives to describe him.

 

[Weekday Warrior]

not only that but everyone who had a hand in writing the damm thing, let alone voting for it.

 

[buck50]
