The taxpayer is clearing the capital decks for private equity and foreign sovereign wealth funds to ride in and save the day. They only expect 20-25% annual returns on their money.

Greed I-Wall Street packaging and selling investment junk

Greed II-PEU’s & SWF’s pick up pieces at bargain rates, package new junk to grow revenues, spin off at massive profits

Don’t believe me? Look what’s happening Monday:

He isn’t talking about it because so much victory in Iraq is pumping success and win into our mighty economy. The Dow just hit eleventy billion.

Oh, are you based in REALITY? Liberal!

He can’t talk about the problem because he is part of the problem – and he has no solutions to the problems. We are wading into the next Republican great depression and the goopers know it because they created it on purpose. Hold on folks, it will get worse before it gets better. Obama has been somewhat shackled because of the goop’s greed, but he’s smart and I believe he will be truthful with us. We will be sacrificing – and we can – it is those in the 1% who will be shitting bricks.

Be kind to one another……….

Wow, Rick Davis just said something that sounds more Herbert Hooveran than Herbert Hoover.

He’s a leader who can’t even talk about the obvious ?

Until a month ago, he thought the economy was strong.

He and his economics advisor are responsible for Graham Rudman, McCain Feingold (which he doesn’t follow), and increased deregulation leading to the crisis.

He said he was going straight to Washington to work on this but stayed in town another day.

Despite his buffoonery, he seemed to be largely irrelevant to the discussions and negotiations.

What a guy !!!

Well, I dont think the sub-prime loans caused the problem but that mortgages were bundled, approved by the SEC and given a AAA rating which investors [investment banks] then sold around the world and which were also highly leveraged, that is to say that they didnt have the cash reserves on hand to cover the losses and imploded.

And there is still some 50 billion a month in mortgaged that are going into foreclosure that have little or nothing to do with sub-prime loans.

This is what happens when investment banks get involved with standard banking.

I think it’s really more that McDepends was still taking his nap and Nurse Cindy didn’t want to wake him up to tell him that the tanking economy was also tanking his political chances even more.

Other than the price of gas dropping dramatically (it’s $2.84 here right now) that’s the only bright news I can get about the economy.

He won’t talk about the stock market because he doesn’t know anything about the economy. Every day the market goes declines, McCain goes down in the polling.

Because he wants to “turn the page” on the issues and talk about Palin’s energy policy “experience”?

Because his knowledge on economic matters is close to nil?

Or because he rather stoke the flames of anger, hate, and bigotry, by hyping Obama’s supposed terrorist ties (”yes, they both live in the same neighborhood! That’s a link -a L.I.N.K I tell ya!!”)

All of the above?

Just heard that Paulson is going to come and state the Government is now going to buy stock in tanking companies. Great! Now our tax dollars are playing the market as well as bailing out the banks.

What does he talk about, indeed. He sounds like a prissy old biddy spreading gossip about the hot new scholarly thang on campus. He dishes dirt, then asserts that HE—unlike that one— is old and was a prisoner of war.

And a maverick. And an outsider that’s an insider ’til death do we part.’

McCain really doesn’t give the impression that he wants to be a leader. He looks like he just wants to be the belle of the ball as if it were his birthright.

“I don’t know if you really want to turn a campaign into a CNBC news show on the stock market.”

So instead McCain has turned his campaign into Faux News Hannitys America

Why won’t McCain talk about the stock market drop?

– - Probably for the same reason members of the GOP don’t refer to themselves as Republicans.

Government intervention has tanked the market. The DOW has dropped like a rock since the bailout plan talk started. The more the government intervenes, the worse things get.

Just like the government created the problem with requiring banks to make subprime loans, and encouraging low income people to buy homes. Not the fault of the low income people. They were victims of the government, and the banks that were forced to go after them.

Imagine the government intervening in health care. We’d have “subprime health care” for everyone. That would be a disaster, too.
