The Trillion Dollar Question

[hnumpah]

This is an unfortunate circumstance for the next president , the budget available to the next president will be at least $700,000,000,000 short of what it would have been without these bailouts.

I know where they can make up about $120 billion of it.

It is also another sign that Juniorbush & Cheney were as incompetent as any men who have ever run this country.
And there you are, planning to elect a rerun of the same.

I thought it was a fair answer, you didn't address the article in any way.

At this point I am more interested in your opinin than that of some pundit from the Guardian.

I'm leaning towards let the companies fail, let the economy collapse, social darwinism at its finest.

But then there is apart of me that doesn't like to see people suffer needlessly.

So i'm torn.

I wouldn't call it Social Darwinism. The Social Darwinists are at the White House talking the administration into lining their parachutes in platinum. They deserve it - don't ya know?

I don't want to see people suffer either. On the other hand, people have been fed neoliberal bullshit for so long that they accept it as gospel truth. Maybe they need to live the reality that capitalism isn't the brilliant miracle cure-all that they've been led to believe. Some people have to live it, before they stop accepting it.
