The BIG Bailout

I don't mind.

Being that there is nothing even similar to a guarantee if the bailout goes through, I don't see it as a risk worth taking. Every single expert, when told something similar to, "this bailout is just as likely not do anything," completely agrees with the statement. That's scary.

I vote: chaos.

Everything eventualy works itself out, even the fall of The Roman Empire. It's just the misery we go through during the transition....sorta like waiting for the Barbarians to settle down and become Europe. Not something I would anticipate with glee.

But fuck it, bring it on...

I really wanted to add something useful here - but I think I need to shit..........

Shit in - shit out!

OK - so I only slept three hours last night and my brian cells are all dead - but this is what I do know:

1. Almost half of the scheduled rebills this month were returned with this message: "Rebill Failed Notice"

2. I've received three emails like this one in the last 7 days: "Hi my name is Ruth and I just wanted to see what ur company is all about. I am currently unemployed and all the bills are due and I'm kinda at my whits-end and need cash quick. So if you could email me back w some details about how u work I'd appreciate it greatly or you can call : 719-555-5555 Thanx for ur time!! PEACE&LOVE"

Oh - and I'm closing the tipi shop as of Friday so my once-stable income of just over $200K has dwindled to a few memberships a month. With any luck, I'll be able to continue to pay the mortgage on this over-priced $152,000.00 home - which was very modest at the time I bought it and feels like a fucking boat anchor right now.

But look on the bright side - the cost of a good blowjob is falling as more and more people are driven to their knees.

I wish someone would bail me out
No one comes to my aid when I'm broke!

Someone probably would if you being broke caused millions of others to be broke

Something has to be done to release credit again. I have spoken to a few friends that own businesses and they are hurting more than any of us. One, a car dealer, can't seem to get anyone a loan. Another, the owner of a large office furniture manufacturer, could not get this weeks payroll and...their building loan went from 1.3% to over 3 percent. The increase of the loan is about $8k/week.

OK, so let's start a tax payer run bank that has $700 Billion in loans and it gets distributed evenly to communities based on census data.

Oh yeah, the people that get to run it are the people in the local communities. Some will be fucking crooks and some won't but none of them will have enough money for Wall Street to make them crooked.

The money will go to the largest financial firms in the world. Watch them all swarm to DC looking for a handout: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/22/bu...er&oref=slogin

They'll be like vultures now that money has been approved.

They'll make their usual large salaries and continue to fuck up in ways that the entire $700 billion might aswell of been flushed down the shitter.
