Well, blah, you remind me of the story of the monkey and the scorpion. They both want to cross the river and the scorpion asks for a ride. The monkey says "No because you'll sting me and I'll drown."The scorpion says "No I won't, because I'll drown too." So the monkey agrees. Halfway across, the scorpion stings the monkey. The monkey exclaims "Why'd you do that!?" The scorpion replies "That's just the way scorpions are."

It's stupid to let the plane you're on crash just because you are pissed off at the passengers in first class.

This is a matter of principle for me. I don't care how bad things get in the economy we can't have a bailout.

If the Russians bombed New York City we'd have to nuke them, on principle, even though it would guarantee the end of the world.

Same here, on principle, even if it means the complete ruin of the financial system, we can't bail these bastards out.

You are a bunch of idiots!!!!!!!!!!We need to set a minimum for the financial losses so the market can not worry how low things will get, which will allow it to rebound. Our leaders should know more than we. Just look at what levle our nightly news gears its stories: 6 grade or less. If the dumb masses ruled over 200 years ago, there would not have been a revolution. I cannot beleive how dumb the american public is!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, well Bush did even worse. And it's his administration that proposed this bailout. And McCain showed real leadership too. He's weeks away from the election and his party doesn't back him up.

You folks won't be laughing if the crisis gets worse. It won't just be the fat cats on Wall St. who suffer if the economy tanks. We're not talking about what's happening on another planet here. If things don't get fixed the businesses you work for will suffer and so will you.
