Mine too! It seems we've been glued to CSPAN all week. I kind of feel bad for all the kids that aren't being exposed to this though.

On the other hand, maybe you should be thankful they aren't exposed to this.

Is it just me or am I seeing forked tongues on my TV?

So now the government says all investments in the stock market are required to make a profit?

Scared, old people suck.

Fucking Windows Media player bullshit.

I no longer have cable TV. And can't watch it on the Tubes.


*Edit: Sorry*

Try downloading VLC media player. It plays everything, and it's free.

I thought the debate was to be divided into 30 minutes for the Majority, 30 for Ways & Means and 30 for the Minority.
I haven't seen any representation from the Republican minority, did they waive their time or will there be 30 minutes of Republican speakers once the other two's times elapses?

More Hoover/FDR/Keynesian "prices must never fall/deflation is terrible" manure!

These three aforementioned would've been proud of this mess and the way the President, FED, and Congress is handling it!

1. Invest in stock market
2. Wait for government bailout
3. Profit!!!

Before or after he bursts into flames?

I'm sitting here watching this and imagining the Empreror from Return of the Jedi say, "Let the hate flow through you!"

Heh.

This is all so Orwellian. They keep saying it's for us, but it's for wealthy foreign investors. They keep saying they're going to prevent a melt down, but this will cause a melt down and the Great Depression 2.0.

 

[Otter Mii-kun]

nah

I'm sitting here watching this and imagining the Empreror from Return of the Jedi say, "Let the hate flow through you!"

I'm imaging him (in Revenge of the Sith) telling his troops to "Execute Order 66".

Yeah... "The (NWO) Empire Strikes Back"

CA killed themselves! High taxes, regulations....and Ahnold is begging for federal funds to dig them out of the hole they willingly crawled in.

As hard as it is to see, there IS a silver lining here, as Paulitician mentioned in another thread. By allowing them to pass this bailout, we're allowing them to dig their graves, because Americans will see that it didn't work once we eventually fall into a great depression. As much as I hate to say it, we're facing one anyway without tremendous change, so we might as well get it over with by letting Congress do all of the wrong things right now.

Afterwards, this might invite further full-blown socialist intervention, because the bailout "wasn't enough." On the other hand, it might make more people pause and start questioning things once everything gets REALLY bad.
