Quote from asiaprop:
are you stupid? For 200billion I buy 3 Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi together and would hopelessly overpay, given in what desperate state of affairs their budgets are. You must be kidding me!!! You are the perfect representation of a dog that barks very loud when there is blood on the street, yet under normal circumstances you can hardly make a life. Its absurd to hear about how united Americans can suddenly be when it comes to scream for 20 billion plus while the real cost to clean up would more rationally amount to 2-3 billion. When this is over the man on the street goes back to fighting to death which car should be awarded the top spot in the annual rankings or whether Democrats or Republicans can burn money at a faster rate. How much more absurd can it get in that country? Seriously...if I was a citizen I would feel utterly ashamed, being the educated and rational minority among 97% of idiots and day dreamers.
Its not about the money its about the life we leave behind for our children which is Priceless. 200B couldn't buy that. Its the "idiot" who thinks money is everything. Its nothing and when you have it (money)you realize that. That is why the rich do philanthropy. Life is about what you leave for the future and how you impact the present.
America has rescued the world financial disaster and yet no one has the courtesy to say maybe we understand people. As bad as it may be here its better than anywhere else in the world. You can find clean water to drink and a dollar (even if its begging for 4 quarters can get you something of a value meal) So when you try to put down america remember we are the sum of the worlds parts. We are the shining example of how to live with diversity where your neighbor is different and you respect each other. We can agree to disagree without an angry mob burning down your house raping your wife and your kids. The momentum is building and BP will be made an example of. The writing is on the walls. It has nothing to do with fundamentals.
Oh by the way just watch and see who acquires the assets thats the upside play.
