laird Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Thank you, George W. Bush. Seriously. Thanks alot douchebag.Really, you can thank your buddy Obama. In 2005 George W. pushed for tighter controls in the mortgage banking business. That was shot down of course by congress and the #1 recipient of Freddie Mac PAC money (some 19 million dollars) your new president. I wonder where that 19 million went?

Pops Racer Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I can't believe this is good, govt helped cause this now there helping with our money to bail them out? I'm a simple man and maybe I don't get it, but someone needs to go to jail. And pay back what they stole in salary. Big Auto is a dangerous ib=ndustry to let fall, but when does it end. More good money after bad? When do I get my bailout?I got it! I know, I'm a genius Perfect Solution to Financial CrisisFrom a European astronomy organization, we learn about the discovery of a "magnetar." Here's the background: "Astronomers have discovered a most bizarre celestial object that emitted 40 visible-light flashes before disappearing again. It is most likely to be a missing link in the family of neutron stars, the first case of an object with an amazingly powerful magnetic field that showed some brief, strong visible-light activity."But here's what's really interesting -- please forward this immediately to Ben Bernanke and Hank Paulson: The most likely candidate for this mystery object is a 'magnetar' located in our own Milky Way galaxy, about 15 000 light-years away towards the constellation of Vulpecula, the Fox. Magnetars are young neutron stars with an ultra-strong magnetic field a billion billion times stronger than that of the Earth. "A magnetar would wipe the information from all credit cards on Earth from a distance halfway to the Moon," says co-author Antonio de Ugarte Postigo.

MrWinkey Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Piss on the bastards let it all crash and bring inflation back to reality. Better yet dump the welfare and disability and use that to bail them out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pops Racer Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Pelosi looks to introduce bill for Big Auto. And get this, no specific amount! Open check book. I said let 'em burn at the beginning of this thing. Politicians would have taken a bigger hit, putting their precious jobs on the line. Thats what eats my ass. They are not doing whats best for the country, IMHO. Who's next to line up for cash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
