Faustian Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 And this bailout is a temporary fix, let's not forget.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 It seems the government is looking into buying up all bad debts such as credit card debt and auto debts. If this happens, does this mean the government is going to go into the collections business? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 I will be happy to run up a huge credit card bill and default on it, so the taxpayers can assume the debt, like they did my pension. Of course, none of this is an issue, as GWB says the economy is doing fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If abortions were allowed when he got conceived, his mother would have had an abortion. Have you ever noticed, people that are against abortions have parents that wish they had gotten an abortion? Uncanny isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Can someone explain to me why the bailout should take place. This is a free capitalist market. Let the free market forces dictate the outcome, not government tax dollars. As a private citizen, if I make a bad investment then I have to handle the losses. These companies got greedy and preyed on private citizens, and since they have politicians in their pocket they are about to get more money for it. Let em burn I say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let em burn I say GWB and Cheney need a couple of real good golden parachutes as they exit the White House next year. I say a good kick in the pants would be sufficient.

shygye Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 The argument is if Wall St goes boom we all get hit with the shrapnel. It is like you buy a ticket for the bus from Bangkok to Pattaya. Halfway to Pattaya the bus runs out of fuel due to mismanagement, greed. Now you can sit there and roast in the Sun or collect 20 baht from the pax to get additional fuel to complete the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
