HOW WAS IT?????

Twilight was pretty good. Somewhat rushed and choppy feeling. I agreed with most of the character choices except Bella. I think they could have found somebody MUCH better to play her! Overall, a good movie though!

WOW ---- I guess Disney is really having problems with the economy.


The bailout of Citi heralds the end of a free market economy in the US. Large corporations, no matter how poorly they are run, will not be allowed to fail. Citi was our major competitor and now they have hundreds of billions in government guarantees and nearly $50 billion in direct investment. That's definitely not a level playing field. What a mess this is.

Given this reaction I don't see how the government can ignore the auto makers now.

You know I saw Chris Mathews (who I normally don't really care for) say something interesting about the big three automakers. That if they are asking for a government bail out..then the top executives of these companies should be willing to work on a government salary. Top gov. salary was somewhere around $400,000. for President..I think he said. They should be made to live on that (oh..the hardship ) instead of their millions/billions.
Something to think about anyway.

I agree - the 3 auto execs already offered to work for $1/year and Citi has a heavy restriuction on executive compensation because of the bail out. The Fed is learning........

Why can't a government bail-out work thusly....

1)You have worked hard and consistantly for 10 or more years.

2)You have never defaulted on a loan or borrowed more than you can comfortably afford to pay back.

3) Your credit score is 875 or more.

If you meet the aforementioned criteria, the Gov't should bail you out of all your debt, allowing you the freedom to have more cash at hand to put back into the economy. Limit one major bail-out in your life time. (Chrysler - sorry but you had yours and now you are S.O.L.)

Just think...if all of us who were careful and responsible with our debt were rewarded with a bail-out, we could buy up some foreclosed properties and new cars, and help the banks and the auto industries.

700 billion dollars would go a lot further IMHO if it was spread out amongst those of us who were wise enough to manage our debt.

This is what I want done with the money.

Milton Friedman is rolling in his grave. The funny thing, is that Obama is getting painted with the socialist brush, and Bush has done more to prolong socialism than Obama has.

Oops!! Change that to 750!!

Gawd, thanks for covering my back, Mike. I almost screwed myself outta my own bail-out plan!!! Although the Gov't would buy into my original post because they could do a "pretend" individual bail-out where no one got help, and blame it on Bush I & Bush II, and Al Gore would take all the credit for the bail-out - that HE invented!(thought I'd be bi-partisan here)
