I wonder how many posters in this thread have actual jobs and how many are still living at home or are still in school.
When mommy and daddy come home because there is no more paycheck in 6 months, come and revisit your idiotic posts on this thread.

There is expanding a business and installing latte and mocha machines. As I said, it is for frivolous upgrades.

Look, to blame this on Pelosi is ridiculous, it failed not because of her.
However, I watched her speech and she should be ashamed of herself. I am as big a critic as anybody on how fvcking tits-up-useless this government has been, particularly under Bush, but her ranting about him and his party like a damned idiot is akin to telling somebody not to ride a motorbike, they do it anyway, lose an arm, and as they are being dragged off in the ambulance you smirk and say "Told you so.". It's infuriatingly puerile and 100% counter-productive. What did she gain by saying it? That lack of self-control I have not seen from anybody near her stature in Washington. Even the target of her scorn, mr sh*ts for brains himself has more couth and class.

Either way McDonalds was put on a leash. McEffingDonalds. That doesnt bode will for the rest of corporate America.

Just let it all burn I still say.
Rahm is a son of a bitch who knows how to get shit done. Hes fourth in terms of Power. Hes the chairmen of the Cacucus. He doesnt have the power the three above him does. His job is mainly focused on policy development and election strategy. If he was Speaker I doubt this wouldve happened.
Pelosi has the bloody pulpit. Hoyer is the Whip. They are the ones to blame for the large chuck of Dems voting nay.
Rahm will be the next Speaker of the House.
this problem is getting to big and imho the Fed, ECB and Japanese central bank (and maybe other big central banks) should sit together with the respective govt. and make a comprehensive plan to get us out of this mess. Lack of liquidity is bringing down otherwise profitable banks. I'm talking about a shock and awe global trillion dollar plan. Doing nothing is not an option and I have the impression that lots of people don't realize how desperate the situation is. Desperate situations calls for drastic action
What has me concerned right now is the lack of planning I see by either party for the financial system.
I'm wondering if we may be heading to the worst combination - financial problems from the crash of the system, *and* even further consolodiation as the few by the others.
Goldman Sachs the last one standing, Citi and J. P. Morgan acquiring other banks, can we see an even higher concentration of power in Wall Street as the few bigger players are in even more of a monopolistic position to be 'too big to let go out of business' and able to dictate terms?
I'm not seeing an FDR figure who has much of a plan for how to fix both the need for the government to assist with liquidity and to address the systemic issues. Just chaos.

She should be hanged and quartered for that kind of grandstanding. Again, the R's hands aren't clean by any stretch of the imagination, but WTF!!!
Many facilities that fail aren't even mentioned in the news, you'll see them in the financial statements first.
The other problem is how expensive it'll be to keep the financing facilities going.

Will you shut-up now? http://www.boston.com/business...rash_course_in_credit/
If you kept up with the news, you would know that banks have been decreasing/eliminating home equity lines to home owners and lines of credit to small business owners for some time.

What are the odds that you get that bonus in March, and be honest.
You didn't answer the question. Answer it.
You dont understand House politics. If a bill fails because a significant number of the controlling party goes against the party, it is ALWAYS the Speakers fault.
