    Food for thought...

    The idea and purpose behind a free economy is so anybody can succeed and also means anybody can fail.

    If you went to Las Vegas and lost all of your money at the blackjack table, would the government bail you out? If you made bad investments and lost all of your money, would the government bail you out?

    First Draft of the Economic Rescue Bill HR 3997

    Turn on CSPAN and see what your elected officials have to say about this while they are debating it right now until 12:30pm Eastern when they vote on it.

    I totally agree Geek, let the CEO's who screwed it all up, and gave loans to people they knew couldn't afford it, pay with their bonuses! Then make all the people who got those loans, work for the US(make them join the military and get some classes in personal finance) for x amount of years to pay it off, only getting food and housing, no extras.....why did they get rid of debters prisons? I pay my mortgage and my bills, ontime everytime, so why should I have to pay for other's screw ups? Greed is all it's all about......


    Johnny I love that dollar very funny!!!

    DOW dropped 777 points, that seems like a lot, but in reality, its only 7%. If people are hurt by that, then they were not diversified enough in their portfolio. Wachovia (bought by CITIGROUP this morning) was trading at $0.73 a share... I wished I could have bought 10,000 shares for that price because it was at $10 a share yesterday. It closed at $1.84, thats 150% profit from this morning...
