Down the drain? Oh wait, you said treasury not treasure.

Haven't checked further but they were just talking on the news about there being millions of dollars of pork in the "plan" along with many millions targeting foreign investors. Sounds like politics as usual. :mad:

It may be necessary to do something, but it's aggravating seeing how their sleazy politicians go about doing their work. :(

Sad to say, sleez IS their work. :(

It is good to see that the House has accepted that doing something was better than doing nothing. Better late than never.

Just another $100,000,000,000.00, whats that to congress.

and how they congratulated themselves! i heard a sound bite from one of them saying something like - this is how government is supposed to work, folks. and in the next breath - he was honored and amazed to have been part of this legislation that both parties put aside thier agendas and came together for. especially so close to an election.

uh, hokay, ginormASS.
it's yer job, doof. grats on doing your job one frikking time. i'm so proud of you!:rolleyes2



indeed. i do wonder if so much of the economy relied on short term revolving credit in the great depression, though.

He is a bit late, but President Bush today called for coordinated action by leading industrialized countries to tackle the world wide credit crisis.

Wait, you mean to tell me that our government wants the governments of other countries to help save the world? We're letting them in on our turf? What the hell is going on? What were they thinking? It's our job to bomb brown people, it's our job to rebuild the world, it's our job to run other countries and tell them how they ought to run the governments we give them. Letting them do something on their own is strictly prohibited.

It's the computer's fault. :mad: That must be how that ^^^ smartass so easily gained the insight in 2 decades that took me over half a century of hard work to get. :banghead:

Lord Snow,

One small qualification, if I might. The United States has been very catholic in its bombing. There remain many Germans and Japanese who remember the USAAF attentions of a few years ago.

PF, I grew up with adults and not many kids my own age. I learned to listen
JSeal, the bombing brown people was actually a quote from the late great George Carlin.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain, LS...he'll never get the joke anyway!

Lord Snow,

This does not, of course, change the history. Nor, as I recall, was it a joke - more in the line of a complaint about the U.S. foreign policy.

You are correct, it doesn't change history. Most of George Carlin's act is complaining. Or stating something we all know in a way that makes us think and find it funny. At least the ones I've seen are like that.

Lord Snow,

Yes sir. He was a very good comic.

Was the philosopher a jester or the jester a philosopher? :confused:

Must there be a difference?

Did you hear that the exec's at AIG had so much fun at their last "bailout" party that they accepted another 35-billion so they could celebrate again? :mad:

YES! :mad:

Were they the same execs?

I'm still waiting for the punchline.

I think this says it all!

It is encouraging to see that the G7 finance Ministers and Secretaries have pledged to work in unison to respond to the global financial crisis. A bit late, but better late than never.

I think that was it.

So funny, I forgot to laugh. Really. I did forget to laugh.

What's the difference between a pigeon and an investment banker????































A pigeon can still make a deposit on a Mercedes :D :rofl:
