Our country is broke and we keep bailing out the big boys so they can keep screwing us. The Next thing you will see is the World Poverty act so the United States can put in Billions to the worlds poor and where does this money come from. We are broke and we will be a 3rd world country before long and borrowing from the rich oil countries and China. We are nothing in the new world order and it's going to get worse, Bush and Obama will run this country to ruins.[xx(][:(]

    Actually I think we can thank Phil Graham and Bill Clinton, the president that signed out the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999 instead of remodeling it to deal with a 21st century economy. The act that separated commercial banking from getting into bad investments in the stock market.

    The fact is, when the walls came down in 99, everyone got their fingers in many pies, and just like in 29, when one section of the economy fell ill, it started to infect the rest.


    Thanks Bill Clinton

    I agree 45. Also, there is that big sucking sound that someone mentioned a couple of elections ago. Can you hear it now?!

    Don't worry, I have a great idea ... we'll borrow our way out of debt!
    If you really desire something, you'll find a way ?
    ? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.

    I don't think any of these corporations should get a dime without cleaning house. Starting at the top.

    Fox News reported this morning that GM is cutting back by using wooden pencils intead of automatic ones and aren't replacing the batteries in their wall clocks on a regularly-scheduled basis. That oughta save them at least 20 bucks a month. [:(!]

    7.5 trillion dollars, so far..according to Glen Beck.

    they are pumping moriphine into a dying patient.

    The big boys are making damn sure they survive what is coming. YOU are paving the way to safety for these utterly corrupt slimes with you blood, bones, and flesh.

    We're already borrowing from China, where do you think some of the $700 billion came from?

    Were not broke we simply are not collecting the money we should be 1% of the tax payers are paying 36% of the fed income raise that rate to 90% for a few years and we are in surplus year one and out of debt in a few years, simple thing is the guys who make the rules all earn more and don't want to pay their fair share, all of American history the more you made the more you paid except depression and recession years!
    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    Well sure jack, there was that one. Although it dwarfed the sucking sound that Ross mentioned!
