Oh the Democrats are definitely complicit in the subprime. And so are the Republicans. http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/08/20040809-9.html It's one big happy party! President Bush's Policies Promoting the Ownership Society * More Access and More Choices in Health...

Well - he was RIGHT wasn't he? I mean - they didn't lose just ONE dollar!:D

You chickens - me fox. :D

More than 1 group is corrupt - there's the guy who lends the money without caring if it gets paid back, and the guy who takes it without ever intending to pay it back. Takes two to tango.

http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/factchecking_debate_no_1.html These guys should be doing this during the debate - might move things along faster.

Are there any Rothschild wines in there? Those are damn good wines! Damn expensive, but damn good! When do we get to tour McCain's homes? (This is all such crap - like anybody gives a rat's ass.)

I did not watch the Couric/Palin interview because I didn't care. BUT - last night I heard David Brooks say he could not get through the whole thing because he cringed and didn't like to watch humiliation. That tweaked my interest - like, how bad can it be? - so I watched. Objectively...

Again, this can be a debate tactic - it's hard to tell unless the moderator interjects to correct misstatements. Like, I can attack you in a debate as a wife-beater, embezzler, etc. That leaves you in a position to constantly respond to my attacks, whether or not what I am saying is true...

http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080927/financial_meltdown.html "WASHINGTON (AP) -- Lawmakers are hoping for a weekend agreement on a $700 billion bailout to rescue Wall Street bankers from the bad loans that threaten to derail the economy and plunge the country in a long depression." Maybe they...

I think McCain actually won by a slight amount on this, but I would qualify why. McCain was more on the offensive by attacking Obama's policy and history. This forces Obama to go on the defensive to "correct" the bombs lobbed. Are the bombs true? During the debate, you may not know...

The mistake is to think they are idiots. They are simply following the golden rule.

Wow 1.8 Trillion. Divided by how many Americans? And $3 Billion divided by how many Wall St execs?

Paulson didn't want the $700B in installments because he wanted the psychological impact of a massive gov't $ infusion. Kind of sounds like... Shock and Awe!:eek: Urgent rush to vote. Mass financial destruction. Shock and awe... Dang, where was that used before...??

Wouldn't blaming Bernanke be playing the blame game?? :confused:

Hummm...I think I know which I would consider averaging up into...

What makes you think he didn't recognize it? Just because he ignored it, doesn't mean he didn't recognize it. Two different things.

Maybe she's not getting enough stimulus herself.

I've run the test on this and it's not too bad...:D :p <img src=http://elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2088039 width=800>

Buffett is right of course - but he was also right when he warned of derivative Armageddon and Wall Street didn't care because the money was too good. And he should know - because he stepped in to help during LongTerm Capital Mgmt's meltdown. You'd think the gov't would have learned a bit...

That's actually a pretty good analogy except for a few things. 1) The "voucher" sounds like he has some previous interaction with the bettor and believes he can make good on his bet (due diligence) - otherwise he wouldn't vouch for the guy at all. 2) The voucher doesn't sign a check that he...
