Let our current out of control economy fall. Maybe a phoenix will come forth from the ashes, or perhaps it will be a turkey. Either way, it may very well be better.<BR/><BR/>Consequently, has anyone seen this video. It claims to talk about the economy, and how money works. Anyone think it's inaccurate?<BR/><BR/>http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9050474362583451279Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17109430531198187222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-31252054074628646162008-09-30T07:34:00.000-05:002008-09-30T07:34:00.000-05:00Anon - You mean someone would be the Ron Paul of o...Anon - You mean someone would be the Ron Paul of our day if he came up with the answer: let crooks and failed companies eat the fruits of their failure and not expect the rest of us to bail them out. Also get rid of the failed and unconstitutional Federal Reserve Bank which created the bubble that is being popped and continues to make it worse. Get rid of these secretive crooks. Get rid of unlimited fiat money and allow people who wish to use gold and silver as currency to do so, rather than treating them like criminals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-73869063149454661982008-09-29T23:14:00.000-05:002008-09-29T23:14:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.John Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11225952779486092428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-22995124565604648182008-09-29T23:03:00.000-05:002008-09-29T23:03:00.000-05:00Jeff, Someone would be the Joseph (the one sold in...Jeff, Someone would be the Joseph (the one sold into Egypt) of our day if he thought this through and came up with an answer. What happens if we don't rescue the mortgage industry? Are there so many mortgage-backed stocks that the stock market is also imperiled? Can we isolate the loss just to the affected industries? Can we keep consumer confidence in place so all the other unattached industries don't go down? Are we saying, "The man has brought upon himself his misery; therefore, I will stay my hand and not give unto him"? Rather than giving the mortgage industry what it deserves, let's give it what it needs if it is going to drag us down with it, but if we think we can survive if it fails, then (perhaps) let it go. What really will happen if we approve the bailout? Is that something we can tell just by thinking? Hope so. Today, the House members were fearful of being tossed out of their seats if they voted for the bailout. Ironically, if nothing is done, they well may be booted out for sitting on their hands and doing nothing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-74456225229990548192008-09-29T22:42:00.000-05:002008-09-29T22:42:00.000-05:00Jeff, all of us who are guilty must admit it.

As a consquence of my action, I would be happy with the Powerball reward (I'll even it split it with you) for $200 million or whatever it is now.Evgeniihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05787950777870804904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-60620670033942899122008-09-29T19:32:00.000-05:002008-09-29T19:32:00.000-05:00Here's how Utah Congressmen voted:Democrats — Math...Here's how Utah Congressmen voted:<BR/><BR/>Democrats — Matheson, NO.<BR/><BR/>Republicans — Bishop, NO; Cannon, YES.<BR/><BR/>Can we tolerate Cannon or anyone else who would turn over that much of our future to the Wall Street gang to do anything they want??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-31951302269883233342008-09-29T18:24:00.000-05:002008-09-29T18:24:00.000-05:00Maybe you can take responsibility for the failed b...Maybe you can take responsibility for the failed bailout in the House too.<BR/><BR/>But thanks for the humor :)Mosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00772722541755711456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-41196148264651585782008-09-29T17:33:00.000-05:002008-09-29T17:33:00.000-05:00Jeff, If I didn't know better from years of subtle...Jeff, If I didn't know better from years of subtle observations of that cracked planet humor, I would say that I detect a hint of sarcasm here. Tell us that you negotiated a similar golden parachute in your employment contract. What? You didn't? Ah, then you are just like 99.9% of the rest of America - you get paid based on what you produce today, and not retroactively on promises of performance tomorrow that never came to pass. Such a deal!Tim Malonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11583763801445542972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-23782347492039674532008-09-29T17:31:00.000-05:002008-09-29T17:31:00.000-05:00Thanks.
