STOP QUACKING BUSH!!

Every time this duck quacks the market goes down.  His dumbfounded and fear peddling visage is like a stock ticker going straight down.  

The fact is the greedy fat catties got their comeuppance!

Paulson lost millions in his trust and his family did too.

This was the most self serving conflict of interest power and money grab in the history of politics.  We cannot trust him and he does not want us to verify.  He has such a little opinion and disdain for middle class americanthat his actions are viscerally repugnant.

The bailout failure is a great day for America.  We should rejoice.

The Bailout had not one provision helping the middle class with their mortgages.  The only way credit will truly flow in the market.  Do no listen to this mumbo jumbo

We were just picking up the tab for the bad investments of some rich wall street execs.  

The free market punishes the greedy.  

Bush, Paulson, and friends were greedy.  

They got us in this mess and only got a few days to try to pick our pockets again.  Pain is finally trickling up and they are finally feeling it.  It is glorious how a free market works!

They are like junkies trying to get their fix again from the public trough.  We must stop them from bringing us all down!

Clearly, markets are going to survive their losses.  

Remember, the rich only get rich if you let them.  

Take a look at exec compensation pay in Europe where it is about 10 to 1 to the lowest paid employee.  In Goldman Sachs it was about 100 to 1.  Paulson made $37 million from commission and bonuses and let us assume his and his lowest paid worker was surely not making more than $37,000.00.  

He wasn't worth it then because his actions laid the groundwork for their demise and he is not worth listening today as his plan will just be a flat out grand theft.

I mean, who in their right mind, buys trash for cash!

Wow, just wow.

I haven't figured out if you are really young, really naive, or just an angry ideologue
with an axe to grind with the rich.

Maybe all three?

Paulson was paid not 100 to 1 but 1000 to 1.

He is just shameless!

Young and naive is someone who accepts a blank check power grab for $700 billion.

If you owned a business, would you give someone that power.  Heck no.  You would be out of business in no time.

I cannot think of anything more naive than that.

Re: STOP QUACKING BUSH!! (2.00 / 0)

Problem is, Zoim, you have his niave belief that SOMEHOW this punishes Paulson and the rich.

There is NO HISTORICAL RECORD that shows economic bad times, in the long run, works towards more detriment towards the upper 1% then to the rest of us.

In fact, most record shows, in aggregate, the opposite effect.

If there is an alternative record, please show us? Show us how the richest of the rich got creamed in 1929.....

germany and japan are perfect examples.. (none / 0)

The richest families got richer, even though they lost the war.

The poor were decimated by the bombings and the military drafts, suffered massive loss of life and many starved to death.

Many families disappeared.

Angry Idealogue?

How about outraged tax paying citizen!

If someone forced you to pay for all their losses in the stock market, but share none of their winnings, I am sure you would be a littled toked!

Re: STOP QUACKING BUSH!! (none / 0)

Mi amigo WashStateBlue, the richest of the rich did get creamed in 1929, they became poor and we never heard from them again.

The smart ones, like Joe Kennedy, who bought the merchandise mart for $1 million, $7 million less than it had been valued a month earlier, did make out good.

The problem is the shrinking middle class.

Do you realize that the top 1% of Americans have more than the bottom 90% of Americans.  This is a total screw up.

FDR needed the market correction to get the public sentiment to enact reforms.

The problem here is the same guys who caused the mess are trying one last chance to see.  

Imagine if Hoover tried a bailout in his last days in office, FDR would never have had the money to enact his social programs that got our country back on its feet.

Yes we need help but not from these Hoover look alikes!

That is exactly what happened. (none / 0)

You do realize that something like that happened, except the Congress and FDR didn't take the bait.

The banks WANTED that money, but they didn't get it, and instead, we got Social Security and people gradually felt they could risk buying again.
