The BIG Bailout

That will work but is likely to be much more harsh in the short-term.

One of the commentators on CNBC keeps saying that this will hurt the man on Main St. in the short term if there is no bailout. How? Fewer toys on the shelves during Christmas? More difficult to get a new car loan? Idiots who shouldn't be getting home loans won't? 401K values decrease until the market comes back up (and it will)? Fucking fear mongers.

Screw that. I want Sodom and Gomorrah, and I want it now!

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.
