You are what is commonly referred to as a "Banker's B!tch". You have absolutely no, nada, zero clue how our financial system works, do you? And yet, here you are on a widely read public forum spouting support, no, advocating that we press the foot to the accelerator even harder.

Do you know Wall St laughs at your ignorance? That Paulson made over $500m from his TARP gambit? Raise the ceiling, and flood the world with newly printed Benny FunBux, and stocks, prices, commodities, etc are off to the moon. Everyone "in the know" (um, that includes me) gets rich, except those poor suckers (aka middle class Americans) receiving (devalued) checks.

Posts like yours convince me there is no chance for this country - none. Just put a fork in it already.

Even some of our own Freepers are sounding like FOOLS today. God bless you, Jim, and the Congressmen who are standing firm. Bob
