It's subject to whatever "news" comes out. But the bonuses given for making so much money off subprime CDO's and CMO's is great! Who can argue that the economy isn't better for the value-added by these captains of industry!!:D

"But this time it will be different." oh yeah..... But Fuld might be able to persuade Buffet by pointing out that during lean times in the past that he, as CEO, was always the first to cut his own compensation to the bone to lead the company in exemplary manner - showing his leadership...

NO!!! The Fed must print money and give it to the subprime homeowners so they can pay back the loans - problem SOLVED!! Why give it only to financial companies - looks too elitist.... LEH can then give Fuld and friends big bonuses for saving the company from the shit they put it into...

bin Laden probably could have been iced during Clinton's admin. BUT - AFTER 9/11 - no one was going to argue that we were illegally invading a sovereign nation. We went to all-out war. AND STILL HE GETS AWAY - WHEN WE HAVE FREE REIGN TO STOMP ALL OVER AFGHANISTAN TO GET HIM!! How'd...

How'd he take responsibility - did he offer to pay the company back the amount? :confused: Wow - THAT'S a LEADER, not a sniveling grubber!!!

http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080909/wall_street.html Before it's too late!! Quick - reward yourselves for the great job you've done. Screw the shareholders!! But then, nobody had to tell you to do that, did they? :D :D :D Why, oh why did that Korean sucker - I mean bank, back out???

Wow - maybe that is why that Ron Paul guy keeps saying the Fed should be abolished. Bernanke wants more powers. Maybe if we made him King that would fix things. :D

Didn't their execs give themselves bonuses that surpassed the earnings of the company? Why wouldn't anyone want to own what's left?? :confused:

Who are the "they" in those sentences - the CEO and senior execs? :p

Who says they're finished? There's a lot more money of yours and your future generations to spend! :D

Time to give the CEO and senior execs $50 million each!! They are working hard to fix the mess they created and deserve to be compensated!!:D

This probably means we need more deregulation so we can have more S&L's Long-term Cap Mgmts, Enrons, subprimes etc. Gov't intervention only works when it's time for the public to pay up.

*Yawn* I wouldn't care even if she did have an affair any more than I cared that Clinton got a bj from Monica. Bill's got to live with Hillary - that's punishment enough. Now, if I was outraged at Billy's bj, I'd be seething if she was found to have been fooling around...

Where do you think future political campaign contributions come from? Whoever is in power has to divert public money to friends. That way they can tap them later to put enough advertising out there to sway your vote. Plus, your buddies will always take care of you later personally out of...

Agree. Cheney can fulfill his service and shoot down enemy ducks.

Uh-oh. I just saw something that disturbs me about voting for McCain. Context: Ron Paul - Republican Congressman, was given a pass to the RNC but only under very tight restrictions. He had to pick it up at the door, couldn't have any guests, and had to return it when he left. So he declined...

Yep - it's pretty apparent that no one should listen to any opinion these turd-heads have on anything. The only record is outcomes - when people are in elevated positions, what do they DO that affects their county/state/country. That's why the DNC and RNC are nothing but a big yawn. I...

I saw the speech. I give her credit for making Republican talking points. But neither the DNC nor the RNC much affects my opinion because they don't focus much on issues. It's all rah-rah to a base they really don't have to rah-rah to. So still waiting for the debates. I can only hope...

Hmmmm... N Korea looks to be starting it's nukes up again. Iran is still running it's centrifuges and enriching. bin Laden (that guy who attacked us on 9/11) is still - somewhere. (Too bad the CIA didn't get the support it needed to nail him when they had him in Tora Bora.) Taliban...

Personally, I'm waiting for the debates. (PLEASE don't let the moderator ask "Who's wearing the shinier flag pin?"!!!) I think what offends anyone with common sense is when someone spreads a pile of horse-s--t in front of you and tries to tell you that it's ok because there's green grass...
