And we can hold all the Saudis assets in the US that are estimated to be a least one trillion dollars.

I am so sick of the hyperbole...the Bush camp just loves to promote this crap. How about a proposal to cut spending programs immediately! I don’t care if the Libs vote for it or not, I am not responsible for this BS!

This was not directed to you personally, I understand your frustration too.

Your kids may not need a college loan...they may be able to pay for college with fresh crisp billion-Amero notes printed with Henry Paulsen’s picture.

article title at original link has been changed to

Senate passes $700B rescue; House votes lured

And they changed the time it was posted!

Senate passes $700B rescue; House votes lured

By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS and CHARLES BABINGTON, Associated Press Writers 13 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - After one spectacular failure, the $700 billion financial industry bailout found a second life Wednesday, winning lopsided passage in the Senate and gaining ground in the House, where Republicans opposition softened.

Funny how they think no one is watching when they change history...even in small things like this.

Days of Awe

The ten days starting with Rosh Hashanah and ending with Yom Kippur are commonly known as the Days of Awe (Yamim Noraim) or the Days of Repentance. This is a time for serious introspection, a time to consider the sins of the previous year and repent before Yom Kippur.

One of the ongoing themes of the Days of Awe is the concept that G-d has “books” that he writes our names in, writing down who will live and who will die, who will have a good life and who will have a bad life, for the next year. These books are written in on Rosh Hashanah, but our actions during the Days of Awe can alter G-d’s decree. The actions that change the decree are “teshuvah, tefilah and tzedakah,” repentance, prayer, good deeds (usually, charity). These “books” are sealed on Yom Kippur. This concept of writing in books is the source of the common greeting during this time is “May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year.”

Among the customs of this time, it is common to seek reconciliation with people you may have wronged during the course of the year. The Talmud maintains that Yom Kippur atones only for sins between man and G-d. To atone for sins against another person, you must first seek reconciliation with that person, righting the wrongs you committed against them if possible...

oh sure, Bush thought about doing that .... (sarc)
Just like he thought about even mentioning the option of cutting any spending to come up with part of the Saudi tribute money.

and what Saudi assets in the US would we hold? Derivatives?

The Chinese are also coming a calling for their cash. And Russia is calling on Europe to pay up for its oil (thus requiring AIG to be bailed out as it holds Euro securities) China and Russia want to be paid before our currencies collapse.

Hey, so, if I got a lot of loans, couldn't pay them off, lied to get more loans, couldn't pay those, and all I got to do is ask Congress to bail me out? Only in America! /sarc

Check this out:

Jonathan Kappell, Yale School of Management professor: "Hey, let's have the Govt. buy all the loans in default at 100 cents on the dollar!"

TN Alexander and Corker voted for it...

Both of our RINOS. I fully expected Alexander to vote for this - I was a little more hopeful that Corker would do otherwise.

Time to contact Rep Wamp again.

Who are these GOP foes who have “softened?” Can anyone name any names? We need to make some calls and “harden” them. We can’t give up yet.

Somehow the best revenge for being heavily taxed by democrats and Obama would be to generate as little income as necessary to survive, and to develop a cashless underground barter economy
