Bill Gross: Bailout Needs to Be $500 Billion Bigger

Re: the unconomy

It would seem to me that the Republican/conservative position is actually opposed to the bailout and does not think the government is either the answer to our problems but is the cause. It seems to me that the liberal position is one in which government is the answer. I am conservative (first) and Republican (second). I think you will find your conservative friends agreeing with you that socialism is not the answer.

the unconomy

it's really the ba'al out. see 1st kings, verse 18. i love the irony that when capitalism, particularly the republican/consevative type, has to resort to socialism to save it's fat behind. just bend over and assume the position like good patriotic americans. it only hurts when you laugh. oh america, when will you wake up and throw the bums out. it's us, not them. we are the problem. we go on and on like everything will be ok and the government will solve all our problems. wake up!!!!!!

I thought the economy was "fundamentally sound"

Are you still sticking to your 9/16 blog advocating that the economy is fundamentally sound? Why do we need such a massive bailout if the economy is fundamentally sound?

The economy certainly seems like it is sound to me... but I am a tenured public school teacher in an urban setting(job security), no mortgage (fixed living costs), no kids, and no car (no fuel costs). I don't think that many share this kind of "economic immunity." So, I don't think that the economy is "fundamentally sound" for many US Americans these days.

Cheers!
