Ron Paul on the bailout

[SpiritAlight 1]

There's no pretty solution.

There is so much that doesn't make sense - that doesn't add up - that it all feels surreal.

Could this be simply something so huge that simply looking at these puzzle pieces doesn't give us the big picture?

Hmmmm...

Hey Luckytxn, you made me think of two of my favourite quotes:

"If you're not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space."

~ Anonymous

“Come to the edge, he said.

They said: We are afraid.

Come to the edge, he said.

They came.

He pushed them and they flew.”

~ Guillaume Apollinaire

What do these have to do with our economy?

Nothing and everything.

LOL. I love the quotes Spirit. I always lived the saying, "No guts, no glory."

I notice Bush said "most" of the money will be returned to the treasury. If the market stabilises, why not "all"?

Personally I don't see why we can't get a return on the investment... given that the public would essentially be paying for this crisis twice over...

I suspect you know why. I will be surprised if any get paid back.

Some of us will. If "us" means foreign countries we buy things from or friends of the administration.

We all know that when this gets passed that the ones that the ones that introduced it and the ones that vote for it will be feeding at a big table. I am sure their appetite will be up to the task.
