- wjappe, on 10/25/2008, -10/+72Where's mine? If I screw up where do I apply for a bailout? Isn't socialism great! By the way who is paying for this? Do I get to have a paid free vacation and bonuses with that? Oh Boy!
- Patrikc325, on 10/25/2008, -1/+50Print, print and print some more!! Inflation is on the way
- quesi, on 10/25/2008, -1/+41if my house is federal owned now- it needs to be signed over to me... i'll pay em back later :)
- edstate, on 10/26/2008, -2/+30Add to that every tom, dick and doofus who's made a mess of their finances. ...I still can't believe capitalism is going to take the hit for this, when it was Government's fuddling that started all this.
- inactive, on 10/26/2008, -2/+24Holy *****, Ron Paul was right!
- drex8, on 10/26/2008, -0/+18Corporate Panhandlers.
- inactive, on 10/26/2008, -0/+17Well dont expect me to pay my bills if no one else is.
- jericho4119, on 10/25/2008, -0/+16So if all of the banks and industries are going to be run from Washington, does that mean we will have central planning?
- sheeplescareme, on 10/26/2008, -2/+18hyperinflation.
- odigity, on 10/26/2008, -1/+15This is what's happening:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBT052jHnmE - apophenic, on 10/26/2008, -0/+12***** auto companies! They make crappy, unsustainable SUVs for twenty years, allowing foreign companies to completely outstrip them technologically. Now that SUVs are no longer popular, they can't compete! McCain was right, auto jobs aren't coming back to America. Asia wins.
- spriggig, on 10/26/2008, -0/+10I'm proud that my Representative, Tom Udall, voted against the bill BOTH times. Tom's going on to be a Senator in a few days. Go Tom!
Did YOUR Representative vote against the bill? No? Maybe it's time to clean house. - Dementual, on 10/26/2008, -0/+10Ron Paul, correct?
But, but! He was a lunatic with extremist beliefs! I mean, a SOUND MONETARY POLICY? How could he have been correct?! - NorthMass, on 10/26/2008, -0/+10Obama voted for the bailout for the rich.
- wjappe, on 10/25/2008, -7/+17how come at least two people digg me and the digg meter on firefox says +1/-0, and if I run Chrome I have +2/-0 consistently even after I refresh both of them several times. It seems I should have at least 3 by now but it never moves. This rather turns me off to Digg. I have seen it with 7 friends digging me with no negatives and it still says +1/-0. I mentioned this problem to Digg but without a useful answer.
- roho76, on 10/26/2008, -1/+10My only hope is that with the rapid deforestation of the world they won't have any trees to make paper to print on.
- staticneuron, on 10/26/2008, -2/+11Why are people digging you up?
Socialism is for the people. The working class. Take a look at america's history to find out how unions were created. Socialism in no way means bailing out big corporations. It is capitalism that is for the rich.
You can argue that it socialist because of the governments involvement but that would be untrue because socialism leans more towards collective ownership or state owned big business, not a 'close' relationship. - Waiting2awake, on 10/26/2008, -2/+10 There you go America... is THIS enough for it to sink in what is happening and has been happening to you? Your children and grandchildren were just raped, and the powers that be, and their enablers, are all lining up for a crack at your offspring.
And what is America doing about it? Waiting to vote in a guy that voted for this.....Incredible. - Coottie, on 10/26/2008, -1/+9Yep, every company is sitting there with their hands out.
So let's get this straight, we have money to pay for bailing out HUGE financial corporations that have bleed our country of it's resources but we can't find money to provide health care for free for all our citizens....even though EVERY OTHER INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD provides this for it's citizens. Why? Because the Republicans will say, "This is socialism" but they completely ignore the socialism going on in the business community.
It makes me sick. - inactive, on 10/26/2008, -0/+8Who are the idiots that believed that these bank CEOs, bank executives and Wall Street Bankers would do what they promised with the $700 Billion of taxpayer money after repeated lying to their employees, their shareholders and to the government regulators?
The taxpayers have been scammed big time and will only see a very small fraction of that $700 Billion paid back. - inactive, on 10/26/2008, -0/+8so where the ***** is my ***** bailout, bitch ass government. Kill em all.
- marcabminion, on 10/26/2008, -2/+9Proof Mussolini didn't live in vain.
Stagflation: hello Economic Death-Spiral
Economic Death-Spiral: Hey there Stagflation, would like you to meet my friends Moral Hazard and Government Intervention. They are the reason you and me are alive today.
Moral Hazard: Yo dude
Government Intervention: Yey - Sil369, on 10/26/2008, -0/+7hmm i see ur 1st comment is at 1 digg. when i dugg it, it changed to +14. i refreshed the page, now it's +1/-0 again. using opera
- bxblox, on 10/26/2008, -0/+7Dont get your hopes up. We print on cotton.
- sheeplescareme, on 10/26/2008, -2/+9it is more likely foreign owned.
- quesi, on 10/26/2008, -0/+7yeah - hyperinflation only happens to countries that have tried what the U.S. is now trying... oh wait...
- iancgi, on 10/26/2008, -0/+7Our government has been taken over by criminals. The atrocities that go on everyday in our name should shame every one of you into doing something to stop this from spreading any greater. Our forefathers would be ashamed of our passive ignorance to this tyranny.
- BoneheadFarker, on 10/26/2008, -0/+7It's not just this morning. I reported a bug on the 17th about some of my comments showing this problem. It seems to be spreading.
- drex8, on 10/26/2008, -0/+6Whoa! Happened exactly the same to me! I dugg wjappe up, and it changed to +15. Back to +1 when I refreshed the page.
- DogBotherer, on 10/26/2008, -0/+5It's corporatism or corporate welfare, it's clearly statism and fits the US popular (though not a technical) definition of socialism. All the -ism labels are seriously corrupted and perverted in contemporary use, so-called "free-market" capitalism certainly isn't what it says on the tin.
- nomadbeatz, on 10/26/2008, -0/+5Dear Fed, where do i get in line for your newly printed money. The line for bread is too long.
- apophenic, on 10/26/2008, -0/+5I bet this is going to be a short term drop. The people who buy and sell oil are all very aware of the amount that is left, and aren't going to sell it for cheap too much longer.
- Waiting2awake, on 10/26/2008, -0/+5 Did Bob Barr vote for it? Did any of the third party vote for it? I am honestly asking the question, as I don't know for sure, but I would bet they didn't.
If they didn't - then Americans still can vote for someone who didn't vote for the bailout.
- inactive, on 10/26/2008, -0/+5If you can't compete, you deserve to go under. This stupid assed bailout was a disaster from the beginning.
- DangerCollie, on 10/26/2008, -1/+5Corporate welfare. Just like the states that get more back in federal money than they pay in taxes. They complain about the federal government and regulation but aren't shy about taking a handout.
I hope Obama cuts them off but he probably won't. Limit what they get back to what they get back to no more than what they pay in. Wealthy northern states have been subsidizing poor southern states long enough. They want to bitch and whine about the federal government and put some drunken frat boy in the White House, that's fine with me. As long as they're playing with their own money and paying their fair share. - SouthsideIrish, on 10/26/2008, -1/+5Remember, you can't say hyperinflation. If you do you will just be accused of being a Paultard who knows nothing about economics, or has only read the Austrian Economists,
- hugolp, on 10/26/2008, -2/+6I am having the same problem this morning with Digg, not only here.
I guess its only a technical problem, but Digg should take care of this things because they give a horrible impression, specially because Digg is not open source and its more up to irregularities. - algaeturd, on 10/26/2008, -11/+15Yeah, that's not socialism. It's socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor. And that's why we need Obama in there to even it out.
You think it's fair for the poor and middle class to bail out multi-billion dollar corporations but not have them foot THEIR fair share for this nation's bills?
Ha. Double HA. - bradleyland, on 10/26/2008, -0/+4Heh. This isn't capitalism.
- anaesthetica, on 10/26/2008, -0/+4Why are you letting Harry off the hook?
- ImagineFreedom, on 10/26/2008, -0/+3Sounds good to me. We can all forgo paying bills and taxes for a year. ***** corporations.
- jjmckay, on 10/26/2008, -0/+3That's the real effect. Socialism doesn't encourage or reward responsibility. Why be responsible if a bailout will come? That's what this latest 'change' (bailouts) represents. The result is that we will be centrally managed.
- Metasquares, on 10/26/2008, -0/+3SUVs will become popular again if the price of oil keeps dropping. People aren't as smart as you give them credit for.
- bradleyland, on 10/26/2008, -0/+3What would lead you to believe that Obama would cut them off? The left has always been about larger government. The left wants _more_ government involvement in our economy. If you trace the chain of events back to the beginning, you'll see that this current situation stems from the creation of the house of cards that is our banking system. Any politician that is not talking about major reform isn't going to address the problem.
- jjmckay, on 10/26/2008, -0/+3Do they complain about the federal government? I don't see that. They love their government contracts and government insured loans, etc! That's what corporatism is - a partnership between government and business.
- NorthMass, on 10/26/2008, -1/+4He wants to send us back to 1885! What a l00ny silly goose he is!
/s - depro9, on 10/26/2008, -1/+4They need more cocaine & hookers.
- quesi, on 10/26/2008, -1/+4ah yes, Chinese property here in DFW. Greeeeaaaaat.
- edstate, on 10/26/2008, -0/+3No. There were legal threats involved as well. The last part of the 90's was the banks lobbying congress to create loopholes so they could "make" these numbers.
- brad3378, on 10/26/2008, -2/+5Don't buy firewood this winter.
