Am I the only one who thinks the 'bailout' was an end-around move to
get massive no strings attached
tax-payer money into Wall Street after Bush failed to get the huge
pool of Social Security money 'privatized'
and into the coffers of Wall Street?

Remember when all our best and brightest politicians were screaming for the
Social Security money to be invested in the stock market so that our
retirees could enjoy those sensational returns Wall Street investors were
receiving?
Funny how no one is recommending that anymore. The funny part is

It is because they share heavily in the profits and take NONE of the losses.
They have HUGE incentive to create artificial profits one year and take

Actors, sports figures, etc. are a fan based economy. It is entertainment
and we choose to pay for the ticket or not. I didn't choose to give money to
these greedy crooks that sqandered the money away knowing full well they would
get bailed out if push came to shove.
If bonuses
Bruce,
I agree with you about bonuses but also about HOW hey spend the
bailout money should be regulated. Banks that didn't need the
bailout are getting hundreds of millions and they aren't using it to
free up credit practices. Wall Street companies are giving
bonuses and paying dividends

Bonuses should be earned like anything else.
Bonuses should be payed BY THOSE who benefit from the superior work
produced as you suggested, Sue.
HOWEVER! The bailout is being payed by ALL OF US, not just by the
stockholders so ZEEERO dollars should go to paying ANY bonuses.

Has anyone ever seen a poster for this never-produced Hammer film

Clearly Bush was more concerned with putting restrictions on the $17B
given to the auto Industry than he was in connection with the $750B
given to bail out Wall Street and the banking industry, which was given
totally without any restrictions as to its use. FRANC

Quite amusing, not badly written.
It's not taking itself too seriously, nice over the top spoof of the
overly earnest long winded sales pitch.
References to sale prices can't harm.
But, that said doesn't achieve the impossible, didn't want to buy
before, still don't want to.
Cheers,

Nope, Bruce, don't want to ruin it for you but I was stunned to learn
