11. You're a twisted individual to celebrate other people becoming as
broke and miserable as you are. You're sick.

30. What is the first rule for investing in the stock market?
Never put anything in it that you can not afford to lose.

You really can not blame anyone else but yourself.

I have money in the market too, and I am getting close to retirement. But I think this bailout package still stinks. I don't want this bailout to pass. Congress can do better.

If I have to take some losses, so be it. I don't think this is an honest piece of legislation with enough protections for taxpayers in the coming generations who will be saddled with this. I don't mind being selfless for the greater good.

2. You and I can discuss this later

We're headed for a fucking Depression now.

Not for months, we're talking a Depressioin which will last 5 to 10 years.

There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."

"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

15. You think this bill would stop a depression?
I don't believe that at all. I think the financial oligarchs want one last bite at the apple before Dumbya is gone and Pelosi and Co. are too goddamned scared to keep them in check.

3. Amen. I'll let you stand beside me in the soup line. No you cannot collect our
middle class tax dollars, no you can not move to Paraguay.

Welcome to the darkness. ;)

5. You are going to "deal with it" no matter what.
and in ways you have only read about in history books.

But you probably don't understand that yet.

12. And now that a lot of other people may be wiped out, you're happy?
Including a lot of people who have been fighting tooth and nail to GET you health insurance? But, who cares, right? Because now they're getting theirs, too. :eyes:

19. And now that the economy is fucked, universal healthcare is also fucked
So you will continue to not have health insurance. But keep dancing on the graves and hoping that this will only affect Wall Street millionaires, and not you.

23. You can of course
"TAKE OUR OUTRAGE TO THE PEOPLE THAT CAUSED THIS "

You can of course, provide us with names and addresses rather than the simplistic generalities such as "the fat cats", or "them", yes?

Then shouldn't you be aiming your negativity towards them specifically, rather than all of us upon whom the fallout will affect? :shrug:

17. If there is ONLY a severe recession
out of this... there won't be any money to do any health care program. BTW, just so you know, I have multiple birth defects in my heart, had one corrective surgery (which only temporarily fixed one problem). Insurance paid for that operation (I paid almost $2,000 of the cost myself) total cost was $30K. That was 12 years ago. One month after the surgery, my insurance company dropped me. I haven't had any insurance since then. Private insurance (Blue Cross) has quoted me $1200/month with a $10,000 deductible.

He or she isn't the only one with health insurance issues.

22. This bailout on pushes a depression back a few months
The only difference will be America will have blown $700 billion dollars. That will be $700 billion dollars that will not be available to dig us out.
