Gee...Just a short month ago that would've sounded like a lot of money.
Now after our $750 Billion taxpayer funded banker bailout, and our impending $100B+ taxpayer funded UAW bailout ... this $50 billion seems like a mere 'pittance'...
Excuse me while I head out to the vomitorium...
This will all come to a head soon folks. Get your debts down (I know, that seems counterintuitive these days) and buy some gold (in case of inflation), canned goods (alcohol and smokes, if you need them) and some “protection”. The music is about to stop and there aren’t any chairs left.
