Those freepers might be a little worried in this day and age.
I just saw the clip on Fox Business News with Neil Cavuto, they actually showed the dead bodies in the rubble. Second question: do you think it was plastic explosives or a truck bomb?/Just Asking - seoul62........
I stand corrected and my apologoes to her.....but she (and he) are lib ditzs.
I think we’re about 10 days from this bailout being old news and the focus being on the war.
It was a crazy time- and all based on mirrors. If it sounds to good to be true...
Temptation is so hard to resist though- and I might well have jumped on the bandwagon if I’d had the opportunity. Good for you that you didn’t :)
I’m wondering...... the Bush administration has provided the media with a draft of the legislation for the $700 billion bailout..... but every media source refuses to make the draft public...... I wonder if the White House is providing a copy of that draft on their website?
Mine only dropped about 2%, however, this week alone I made about 5% in individual investments buying on the bottom of some stocks, betting that the market wouldn’t keep decent value stocks down. At that, the only stock I didn’t have that ended up higher this week was MSFT, and that really doesn’t have to do with this issue, but the YAHOO move.
It is probably way too complicated for reporters to understand. We are dealing with reporters here.. not exactly the brightest bulbs.. These are the same folks who couldn’t read Exxon’s annual reports or understand upstream/downstream and think that an expense (wholesale price of oil) is somehow a profit to them..
FoxNews Mansoor Ijaz says that the entire hotel has been engulfed in flames.
WASHINGTON, Sept 20 (Reuters) - A Wall Street bailout package being proposed by the Bush administration would cost $700 billion, according to a legislative proposal given to Congress on Saturday. A copy of the draft legislation, obtained by Reuters, also calls for raising U.S. borrowing authority to $11.315 trillion. Congressional committees were to be briefed on Saturday on the legislation, which could be weighed by the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate as early as next week.
I want to see that draft, so I can see how much pork the Dems add to it!!
Good idea bump.. maybe an analysis thread..
Exactly!
I can’t find it on gov web yet. Probably hasn’t hit the scanners. After I get back from abusing little white balls, I’ll look again.
OMG- they want up to $11 TRILLION?
WTH is going on?
The $11Trillion is just the open line of credit, not how much they ‘want’, although I bet that line of credit will be maxed out unless there are stopgaps built in (ie, you can only access XX for this reason under these circumstances).
It seems the Dems want to blame the President and the Administration for ALL the problems. Well, one thing that was left out is the media. For the last 6 months or more, all we’ve heard from CNBC, ABC, MSNBC, etc. is “we are in a recession ....most Americans think we are in a recession... this could be as worst at the Great Depression”. I wonder how much this contributed to the problem we are facing now.
“we need to know WTH is going on behind closed doors this weekend and what they’re putting in this bailout legislation.”
I wonder if we will know before the measure is agreed to...or after?
My bet is on ‘after’. We should be watching for the dem measures to include kickbacks for ACORN,FM/FM,banks/mortgage companies that have democrat coffer ties, and a ‘stimulus’ for the unqualfied buyers that the dems used to amass power and money.
This stuff makes Enron look like small potatoes...(eye roll)
I think the 11 trillion refers to the expansion of the budget deficit.
