You need to get together with a bunch of other traders who lost on the same trade. Get enough votes, and you can have a bailout too! Free money, it's the best.

Heh, yeah guess there's two industries that just ain't getting a bailout - fast food and tobacco.

DETROIT (Reuters) - As many as 3,800 U.S. car dealerships could fail this fall and into 2009 -- nearly one in five -- because of weak sales, increased operational costs and the credit crunch, according to a forecast released on Wednesday...

Wrong. Moved to P&R. And now that I've moved it, let me be clear. Anybody that says they know how much this will cost is a liar, and I mean that in the strongest sense. If they say it will cost x, then they are saying they have no idea what is going on.

The rich guys and the politicians? ;)

Unstuck and reopened.

SUPER SALESMAN A keen country lad applied for a salesman's job at a city department store. It was one of those massive stores that have every department imaginable. In fact it was the biggest store in the world - you could get anything there. The boss asked him, "Have you ever been a...

One would be wise to buy some hard assets that the feds cannot inflate to zilch. Gold is already nuts, any other ideas?

A hundred billion ($ 100,000,000,000.00) here and a hundred billion there, and pretty soon we're talkin' real money. A stack of 7 billion $100 bills would be 475 miles high. 475 miles of Benjies. #@^*!

While McCain should have been embarrased to even know Charles Keating (let alone take money from him), McCain didn't do anything wrong. But this quote: sounds untrue. Isn't it in both parties bylaws that only power-crazed crooks (preferrably lawyers) can win the nomination?

I agree. Moved to P&R. Congress Critters can vote one of three ways: Aye Nay Present Present means "I wuz there, but too confused to make up my mind" or "There's no #@&^ way in #@*^ that I'm taking a public stand on that #@*& issue!"

Yeah, but it's gonna feel like 8 years. Or 108, anyway. The voting public thinks handouts and big government is outstanding. Free Money! woo hoo! Order the top shelf booze, cuz somebody else is picking up the tab. We get the government we deserve. There's no free lunch, nor free...
