the $30 B bailout of Bear...

Guess what?

Divide $30 Billion Dollars by 300,000,000 people (US Population) and this means:

Each person is paying (sooner or later) $10,000 each for the Bailout.

Wow!

Some days the Bear eats YOU

I keep hearing the same old song... the bear went over the mountain... the bear went over the mountain... the bear went over the mountain... to see Ben Bernanke...

My big question is... with all of the bleeding of liquidity the life blood of Capitalism. Where does all of this money end up... $300 Billion here...$900 Billion there how much will the Fed have to Print to keep up with demand...and where does all of this green paper end up... ?

Bailout

Do not spend a dime of my money on irresponsible buyers when I stood down and did not jump in the fray, Why should us prudent taxpayers foot the bill ?
