break.com— This is another spoof of the old Mastercard commercials. I thought it was an appropriate one to post as our country makes one of the largest financial decisions in history this week.

Agreed. People are quickly going to realize how good they've had it for so many years and they will have to change their ways. The price of food and gas are the first sign, and they will only continue to go up. Gas for example, across the border in Canada: they're the only G8 country that doesn't maintain an oil stockpile (because they have so much in the ground). They export 60% of what they produce to the US. Their gas is MORE expensive than ours (over $5 gallon). But they have no national debt, and a very strong economy until ours started to seriously decline about 9 months ago.The same type of fuel (and other) taxes will be needed here to recover from our current economic situation... that means the price of everything will continue to rise. It doesn't matter if they go ahead with the bailout, a s**tty economy costs everyone! If executed correctly, the bailout strategy should work to minimize the blow or at least prevent a domino effect of falling powers.

This must go in the history books as the Bush Depression. Let this be their legacy.

a way out of the current mess is probably one of them

I agree, too much of a pause between priced and less.

Would have been funnier if the f**ker didn't have his voice coming through only my left speaker.
