This stuff makes me so angry, but I know there's nothing I can do about it. Thats why I let myself become numb to so much of this insanity lately. It's bad enough reading about some ceo getting rewarded to the tune of 200 million, (even though his company went bankrupt) then to see an article such as this.

I was talking to a coworker the other day about these things, and he said, "sometimes violence is the only way to stop this outa control madness that has been taking place". While I don't condone that at all, I can certainly empathise with someones frustration, and helplessness on whats taking place in our great country.

It might just be time for a good ole revolution. Anybody in for some target practice? Those over fed execs should be easy to hit.

Sometimes I get angry at these people that took out loans they couldn't afford. I wonder why I should bail them out when they took on payments they couldn't afford.
Just because the bank agreed to give them the loan doesn't mean they should take it on. I don't have a problem with people who need help because tradgedy struck like they lost their job and can't sell their house because the market sucks. That's different.

I know a person who makes 160,000 a yr, bought a house, took out an additional 100,000 on an equity loan to make home improvements. The improvements were
extravagant, not out of necessity. After renovating her down stairs it flooded. The insurance won't cover it. Something about not having failing sump pump ins. Now she's thinking she'll just stop making pmts on her mortgages until they kick her out in a yr and claim bankruptcy. Now that makes me mad. There is no reason she couldn't make the pmts exept she doesn't want to. Her house is livable and she makes good money.

People should take some personal responsibilty !

But, but, but aren't Obama and McCain both promising to bail out those folks who are going bankrupt because they bought more house than they knew they could afford?! So, now after about 2 to 5 years of making those low low low interest only loan payments the pied-piper is now wanting to start being paid not only the interest due, by way of those fast escalting ballooning ARM ponzi scheme rates but also now the principle that the homeowner was putting off on top of the balloning interest only payments. Sounds about right.

Something to consider...

If you had purchased $1,000 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago, you would
have $49 left. With Fannie Mae, you would have $2.50 left of the original
$1,000. With AIG, you would have less than $15 left. But, if you had
purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drunk all of the beer, then
turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have $214
cash.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily
and recycle.

Heyyyyyy. Now why didn't I think of that. And all this time I've been drinking my beer from a glass bottle or from styrofoam or plastic cups from the beer tap at the local watering hole. Kind of makes me think of ol'Hank and a 'Tear in My Beer'.

I'm just stunned at the gall of AIG to turn around and do something so blatantly disrespectful! People are losing jobs, homes, retirement...and they turn around with taxpayers money and have a 440,000.00 bash. It's beyond disgusting! I think some executive heads need to be fired for this.

Pass the beer JD. :beermates:

Shooting is too good for them. Besides, that's a waste of a good bullet! :wink: I say take away all of their money, credit and stuff. That is far worse than death.
