    Loans, si. Bailout, no. Loan the bad bettors the money, let them cleanup the mess. If companies get to big to fail, then there should be limits on how big a company should get.

    Taxpayers will be lucky to get 20 cents on the dollar under the present plan. There is no incentive for the crooks to do any better.

    No doubt that the neocons and the con artists are using 911 scare tactics to steamrolller the opposition. Conservatives should act conservative, and not rush the bailout bill. It took these clowns 8 years
    to create this mess, so we shouldn't expect the problem to be solved in a week.     Reply

    I continue to be "amazed" that none of these so called experts has proposed removing/changing the pressure points on these stock prices and institutions: SARBANES/OXLEY & FASB 157 & UPTICK RULE. Assets would immediately be MARKED UPWARD & STOCK PRICES WOULD RISE! Little tax payers money required as problem self corrects...........
    It's as if a man bleeding to death goes to ER and is fitted with continuous pints of blood infusions, while allowing the hemmoraging to continue unrepaired>>>...

    Same message, different story. We MUST pass the Patriot Act NOW. Saddam has WMD - we MUST act NOW to protect America. The financial markets are falling - we MUST act NOW to save America. The town that heard the "WOLF !!" cry only took two fake calls to realize they were being conned. What about us and our "leaders" in DC ?? How many of these BS scares will it take to realize they're blowing smoke again ? The Empire of George II falls back to its most successful ploy - act now or be destroyed. And anybody opposed is anti-American.

    Answer me this, Hank and Ben - if Congress throws a couple trillion dollars after the stupid losses financial institutions have blown, will you GUARANTEE it will fix the problem ? Will you sign over your personal wealth to the US government to help pay for your plan's failure ? The two most important questions are:

    If we don't accept your proposal, is a crash certain ?
    Will this plan fix the problem and avert a crash ?

    And therein lies the true question. Nobody that I know has said a crash is certain whether or not a "bailout plan" is carried out. Similarly, nobody I know of has certified that a "bailout" plan would fix the problem. It all boils down to credibility. And the administration of George II has none. Paulson in my book, who was head of Goldman Sachs during its massive increase of leverage, has none. And clearly, Bernanke's opening of the Fed discount window has averted nothing and perhaps aggravated the situation.

    Let the mismanaged financials fail and their assets get bought up by more ethical competitors. Let the fools who bought overpriced real estate using idiotic mortgage plans rent. Let the law of logical consequences solve this problem. Sure, some of Hank and Ben's country club buddies may have to sell the house in the Hamptons, but hey, fair is fair. Bailouts aren't.

    It is not a slap in the face to people like me - it's a right cross and a low blow by people who are in positions of trust who cannot be trusted. I worked hard, saved, invested wisely, never bought a new car, paid my bills and lived within my means. How dare you spoiled Wall Street brats tell me I should be responsible for scalawags such as you ? Millions of RESPONSIBLE Americans are NOT losing our homes to foreclosure because we bought homes we could afford. How dare you swindle us into paying for the irresponsible people who wrote loans to people who you KNEW couldn't pay and the ignorant ones who bought more house than they could afford.

    This plan in every aspect is UNAMERICAN. The FAIR way to solve this mess would be to sieze the assets of the offending financial institutions and use the proceeds to protect responsible Americans from the ill effects of the greedy financiers who caused this mess. The FAIR way to ensure it never happens again is to ban the officers and directors of the companies that created this mess from ever working in a financial company again.

    But hey, socialists have never really cared what's fair. Or Capitalists, for that matter. And former capitalists who want to socialize losses after pocketing profits couldn't care less about the poor shmucks they con into paying for their irresponsible behavior.

    I do not believe one word Paulson or Bernanke say. I believe a shakeout is the only thing that will scour the scum out of a largely dysfunctional financial sector that operates without ethics and is more casino gambling than responsible investing.

    In 1929, the perps jumped out of windows. In 2008, the perps get a golden parachute. We've come a long way, baby, and it isn't all for the better.

    T. Boone Pickens on Yahoo and the Price of Oil [view article]
    Something else for you to ponder FreeEnterprise:

    If you go to Boone’s website, and see his goal of displacing that amount of foreign oil with “alternatives” (which his biggest one is clearly stated as natural gas) , we’d already be there. What’s even more absurd in the energy debate is the fact that Boone also correctly states on his website that every one of his giant wind turbines produces energy equivalent to just 12,000 barrels per YEAR; yea per YEAR, not per day. That equals the equivalent of 32 barrels per day per windmill, nearly equal to a stripper well in America today. That means you’d need 31,250 giant wind turbines 24/7 year round in constant wind, to equal 1 million barrels per day. What a farce! Where would we put 31,250 wind turbines???? The greenie freaks would scream “Not in my backyard” across America.     Reply

    YHOO is a dead man walking.
    Anecdotally, I can tell you of 2 friends who have quit the firm and tell me intellectual capital is bleeding out of the firm at a rather fast rate. Check their attrition rate which is rather high now.
    This company is a slow-motion trainwreck which can only be saved if someone ponies up the money again.
    GOOG was brilliant in proposing this deal which stalled BOTH YHOO and MSFT & even if Justice blocks that deal, I think they achieved their goal.
    If 1 company comes out of this mess as a winner, its GOOG (buy it now at under $450...its a steal given all the market share they are winning)     Reply
