Wall Street to GOP: Drop Dead

Enjoy Filing Your Taxes

Okay, granted the Republican Party isn't what it used to be and has drastically shifted away from its small government, pro-business, free market platform, it is certainly the lessor of two evils. Obama and his socialist friends will do nothing but raise your taxes, have the government take control of your life, and make you smile while doing it. Early remmants of Chavez in Venezuela or Kirchner in Argentina (who, by the way, is about to seize their citizens' private pension funds in an attempt not to have another default on their debt due to uncontrolled spending on gov programs...hmmm what perhaps is to come in the very near term for the US as well). We need a new party, the libertarians, to rise to power and promote fiscal responsibility, free markets, open trade, and small government! Bob Barr 2012!

money managers vs economists

there is a diffeence between a "money manager" as you put it, and an economist. The economists know that recessions are inevitable, there is a cycle. and the more you mess with them, the more you draw them out with fiddling around, the more you instigate a depression. The so called money managers are the people on cnbc yelling for urgency because they have to see the dow go up every day forever. the truth is there is a limited amount of money in the world and the sky rocketing stock market is an illusion of fiat currency. however, i have absolutely no faith in the government to realize this because they themselves are (or have entrusted their savings to) these money managers.

what concerns me is, how could no one see this coming and why were the few predictions that existed ignored? i believe it is orchestrated and if we pass this bill we are doing exactaly what is expected of us to do.

The GOP 'conservative?' HA!

This is the first 'conservative' thing the GOP has done in how many years? I'm surprised it's taken you this long to get out of the party.

The financial collapse has been a long time coming. It seems to have begun with the Carter administration, and furthered by CRA act. (Thanks for that Pat) To stave off a recession under W there came more tinkering, more spending, more devaluation of the dollar, and corporate greed.

I hate to be the token Ron Paul commenter, but everything he has been saying, for years mind you, to the Fed, his own party, and everyone else is coming true. There should be no more bailouts and let capitalism and economics takes its course.

Pass that bailout

In fact, if $700 billion is good for us, why not make it $7,000 billion, or even $150,000 billion?

I like this bailout thing. I encourage CONgress and the ruling class to squeeze and pummel the middle class' wallets, and more importantly their pensions, savings and investments as thoroughly and especially as rapidly as possible. The serfs are waking up to the fact that they are the victims of the greatest bank robbery in history, and there might be a slave uprising.

The quicker we reduce them to poverty the easier we can mow down the malcontents as examples to those who do not wish to volunteer for national service.

Heck, $3,000 billion is looking pretty good right now.
