So, Even though the majority of the American people have said no to the bailout !! It seems your voices dont matter, Wow, Thats a demrocacy for ya!!!! It sounds that bye the end of the weekend they will have hammered something out with the taxpayers money. They , The Government dont seem to give a shit what the American public thinks or says!! Apparently the Govenment is gonna do what they want, Regardless of what the people of the United staes of America say. I dont know about what you think?? But it seems they, The Government , Is seeing how far they can push until it comes to shove !! Just like they did with the war!! And everything else they decide!! It seems a few rich people can tell you whats best for your whole country, Wow, That sucks!! So when do you think its time to do something about the Government?? Shit, With the amount those asshats make , They, (The Govenment) , could bail out wall street with just 2 months wages!! And its not the first time they have ignored Democrasy, So when do you think the people of the USA will wake up and grow a set ???????
So, What will be the straw that breaks the camels back??

It's a very complicated financial problem, and the average American has displayed pretty much zero understanding of anything involving money. So no, I wouldn't give a shit what the American public thinks if I was running the show either. There is a reason we don't live in a direct democracy, and it's things like this.

I think the basic concept of moral hazard is well understood by the public. They may not be able to verbalize exactly what moral hazard is, but even grade school children understand it.
One can make the language of any field unintelligible by using acronyms and avoiding any semblance of transparency.
I'm losing faith in the whole system, the credit market is seizing up because the lenders are purposely doing it, the hedge funds were playing "let's pick someone else to take down" with naked shorts, particularly the financial sector, my concern is that they're moving on to other sectors and will take them down one by one unless we regulate the market much more effectively and proactively.

Your question was an emotional bombardment on common sense. If you want to ask a serious question go ahead, but what you asked was not a serious question.
It Figures that the majority can not respond to this honest simple question. Because you have no sack!!!!!!!! This has nothing to do with Republican or Democrat!! Its just a straight up question . When will the majority OF WE THE PEOPLE will stand up to the Government and tell them outright that they work for the people and not the other way around. This has nothing to do with McCain or Obama Or George Bush, This has everything to do with the PEOPLE, The Public, Which we lay all our trust upon to do the right thing, But Dare I say !! There are no ship of fools here???
Ps: Its pretty simple, How much longer will you keep gettin FUCKED?? Do you think your government will have the decency to give you a reach-around??????????????????????????
I hope so, and maybe a little kiss afterwards. If you think your getting fucked now you missed the money spent on MAD :laugh:
Serious answer: never.
Read "The Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein (I've recommended it several times).
They understand one thing. They're taxes are going up to help greedy banks recover from making bad decisions. Its times like this I regret living in a democracy.
Linguistics proves you wrong. The etymology of langauge as illutrated in Goedel's mathematical proof has a corollary refuting the SWP in your post. QED.
Because the wealthy elites in non-democracies never get away with tis sort of abuse. Why, look at the egalitarianism in Saudi Arabia, for example.
Americans don't grow a set until they can't afford a Mickey D burger
Americans don't grow a set until they can't afford their cable/Satelite TV shows
Americans don't grow a set until they can't afford their pack of Marlboro cigarettes
Until Americans can't afford their American staples they won't do a damned thing.

I am concerned about the macro economic effects that could be caused by the collapse of the banking institution or industry. I can see, if nothing is done, the US if not the world spirlalling into an economic depression. That would be a bad thing.
To quote McCain "Horse shit". Has finical elitist that you trust shown any understanding of money. All they have shown is how to rob the treasury and get tax payers to say thank you.
