Isn’t that a book by Al Franken?

“How are we not yet incensed enough?”

John Q has been systematically lulled into torpor and stupidity by thought control and Skinner Box conditioning that masquerades as education. The average American’s brain is a blob of goo.

When the purchase will cash flow positive on a rental, the investors come out to play.

#50 on that list is 5.02 million.

So about 10% of congress has a net worth of over $5mil. Maybe that explains where McC got that number from.

Capitalism is not perfect and there are times when the government must be called upon to help. They get in the way with their stupid regulations, so there’s nothing wrong with the expectation that they help when there’s a problem.

It’s the damn job of the government to support economic activity. We are now quickly moving back to Keynesian economic theory just in the nick of damn time.

And what is Bergabe doing, threatening us? That we will enter a recession unless we buy these toxic assets at inflated prices??

WTF happened to capitalism? Calling Reinvestor, please explain capitalism to me once again please.

Japan, China and Bill Gross.”

You know that was my first thought. That we were doing this to avoid WWIII. Russia and other countires are on that list too?

I say we take out Bill Gross first. Our swift and decisive victory should serve as a warning to the rest.

All of this is delaying congressional action.

Shame on you Sas.

The only solution is repudiate the debt, or negotiate principle relief with creditors – at individual, corporate, and national levels.

All CDS transactions between third parties must be canceled, with return of original purchase price + interest.

So what! Bring on a recession. I contend that there are currently tons of jobs that exist that are based on nothing, and shouldn’t have existed in the first place.

The powers of financial capitalism had (a) far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank… sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world.
