I agree with most of what you said. In this case much of the rise in commodity prices will be mitigated due to demand destruction early on. Once the wold economy starts rolling again, due to easy money, then inflation kicks in???

Again, WHY THE FUCK should executives be getting bonuses when they ran the company into the ground? The leadership of ANY company that needs a bailout, has inherently failed in their duties. Such leadership should be fired rather than paid bonuses.

If he doesn't raise taxes, then where the hell is all the money going to come from that he has promised to spend?? Oh wait, he fucked up. Now he has promised free everything to everyone, but we will have significantly lower tax revenues than origionally thought. He now will have to...

Fuck these deadbeat companies. At least GM/Ford employe a large workforce.

This is the necessary response to any increasenow thread.:D

Averages for a sample of specialties in my city (Kansas City): Family Practice- $162k Plastic Surgeon- $325k Cardiologist- $288k http://www.salary.com/

I agree to some extent, but how to fix it?? Cut their patient loads in half and do you think medical costs would go up or down?

Lawyers shouldn't make as much as doctors. For the most part, lawyers are a total drain on our economy. I have seen first hand, small business totally drained due to frivolous law suits. In fact, I would definately say that lawyers are more to blame for the high cost of medicine than doctors...

This might be one of the dumbest things I have read on ET in a long while. That is saying something.

This thread is rediculous in my opinion and way off base. Too many comments from people that have no clue. I am not a doctor, nor are any of my family members. I do sell medical equipment and my wife is a drug rep, so I spend most of my day in doctor's offices with docs. Physician...

Liable? I don't think this clown cares in the least as he probably has a negative net worth.

One would have to think that the ramifications on the market would be significant if this were to happen. If they go the confiscation route, Dow 2000 might be realistic.

I would say that this is a matter of when, not if.

If this happens, your choices will be: a) Join the Revolution b) Leave the country

That seems like pretty good advice to give out if you're in the business of selling books!:D Actually, that's not bad advice, but it takes more than reading books to become self-made. If you just keep looking to books to make money, you likely never will.

There are lots of problems with the healthcare industry and there are no easy answers: 1- No caps on liability makes malpractice insurance a rediculous expense for physicians/hospitals 2- Illegals and uninsured drain hospitals, doctors and health systems 3- US consumers foot the bill...

Yes, our $700B made such a great impact.

A bailout of the auto makers is nothing more than a bailout of the UAW. Let them fail and restructure. At least that way they could cut some of the dead weight that they are carrying, which is the biggest problem that they're dealing with.

It's getting more and more obvious that the Paulson and Bernanke have no clue what they're doing or how to solve this problem. They're only solution is to throw money at these companies, yet it makes no difference.

This is a tricky one. GM needs to go fail and restructure, but I'm not sure now is the time.
