yikes....BAIL OUT

don't know about you folks, but this bail out of banks and financial institutions is starting to get outta hand.

on one side you have the pundits saying it's gonna cost five hundred billion...and on the other side, the more morose are saying a TRILLION dollars...whew!

if we don't get a handle on this, pretty soon we're gonna be talkin about serious money.

Why Colombianitas? Personally... I just don't like pink areolar tissue.

Interestingly.... I think I've heard your 'pundits' on tv taking advantage of McCain's prodding a few years ago, to 'straighten up' the Fannie Mai stuff... Is he gaining a few points with this?

who knows....but, "we the people" are gaining a few points (interest) on all this.

one of my teachers said he wanted to give us an idea of how much a 'trillion' is. if you had a trillion dollars in one dollar bills, and counted them one a second, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, it would take 36,000 years to count it.

i think we're running outta time.

Well, look at it this way..........your credit rating just went up..............now you are good for over a TRILLION DOLLARS...............did you ever think how GREAT your credit rating is when SOME ONE ELSE GETS THE MONEY? I'll bet the last time you went to the BANK, that they turned you down on your loan application when you applied for a TRILLION DOLLARS and now, suddenly, you are good for it when SOMEONE ELSE GETS THE MONEY. AND just think, you did not even have to fill in a loan application. They just hand you the bill when you file your income tax. "AND YOU THOUGHT THEY ENDED SLAVERY".
HA.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
