Before we answer, may we trouble you to tell us a bit more about yourself? We are leery of n00bs around here, and its very odd that a FReeper would not understand the work ‘”Pork”ulus’?
I look forward to continuing this conversation with you.
agreed

Notice that this whereisreagan did not answer a perfectly honest question?
This makes me suspicious of whereisreagan. When you ask questions, wereisreagan is nowhere to be found.
Sorry for replying late and tks for your kind words. I wrote a little about myself on the ‘about’ page but more will come.
In the meantime I fully understand the term Porculus, and it is pretty funny too. I can’t really judge the situation in the U.S. from my European standpoint, but there are parallels. Euro governments have handed out hundreds of billions to failing banks, just to keep them alive. Taxpayers are left behind, wondering what is all means. In fact, they have to shell out their hard earned cash to make up for evident failures of the bankers on the upper floors. These guys have a very bad rep by now, but there’s no real responsibility or punishment, let alone a payback of their horrific bonuses that they extorted from the countries.
Luckily enough the links with the U.S. mortgage problems are getting weaker and weaker; bankers tried to put the blame for their ill-gotten gains and greed on that one. It no longer works. They are to blame themselves.
It has never been seen before. Govts falling into huge debts, balance figures nosediving, and so on.
So we got our own porculus plans being realised now.
Not good. Not good at all.
