Who exactly is going to take the role of government on after this weekend Kiks??? It is either going to be a 700, billion dollar in debt maybe more, or in deep recession.....It looks like I might have been wrong..Perhaps Obama might win after all......Why not make the first bllack president take the blame and flack for the next four years until a white one comes along and makes it all go away..... 8) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have already stated a while back on "Calling Dinos" thread, that the economy has become the "Perfect Storm" for disaster, and if you think this is just effecting the USA only, you have another thing coming Zan. The 700 Billion bail out or not, we are in for a big ride, all across the globe. The American consumers has been blind and stupid to have taken on more than they could chew with these debts that they have accrued, but Financial institutions around the world have also been blinded by their GREED on allowing these stupid consumers to get what they asked for, even if they could not afford it. We will all pay the price now, including you Zan.

As for Obama being cursed and blamed for the failed economy while he is in office, then you must have subscribed to Hillary's "Right Wing Conspiracy" theory accusation of the Republicans. :lol: :lol:

For all intents and purposes, the national review is an extremist publication and should be taken with a grain of salt (and possibly some au jus as well). You point is understood, though. It's tough to get excited about someone that shielded from the media while she gets the clliff notes crash course in everything from economics to foreign policy. :lol: :lol:

I think that Zan may have a point here. The bailout that's being debated is only going to undermine the economy in the long run because it means that taxes will have to increase drastically. It's a shit-load of money that will only delay the inevitable, pushing a meltdown into the next presidency. This is what the Bush admin has become. He's screwed everything else up, and now has a huge economic cluster-F on his hands. Why else would he try and push this bailout as he is?

The bottom line is that Bush is trying to push the worst of the crisis to the next presidency - he doesn't care who that would be. Just my opinion.

Personally, I'm against any bailout for two reasons - it's not going to work, and if they do it, nobody is going to learn anything from it. It's the voters that repeatedly put the folks that cause these problems into office. So if it takes lost homes / life savings or shanty-town living to teach people a lesson or two, then I'm all for it. Perhaps if people feel a sufficiently intense amount of pain that they, themselves, are responsible for, they might think twice about who they vote for next time around.

And who will bail us out, those of us who practice fiscal responsibility and who didn't support Bush in either election?! :evil: I couldn't agree with you more, Dino.
