Bail out?
Jan 12^th, 2009, 2:19pm

Once upon a time a man appeared in a village and announced to the

villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each.

The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the

forest and started catching them..

The man bought thousands at $10 and, as supply started to diminish, the

villagers stopped their effort. He next announced that he would now buy

monkeys at $20 each. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they

started catching monkeys again.

Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to

their farms. The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys

became so scarce it was an effort to even find a monkey, let alone catch it!

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 each! However,

since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would buy

on his behalf. In the absence of the man, the assistant told the

villagers: "Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has

already collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns

from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each."

The villagers rounded up all their savings and bought all the monkeys for

700 billion dollars.

They never saw the man or his assistant again, only lots and lots of monkeys!

Now you have a better understanding of how the

WALL STREET BAILOUT PLAN

WILL WORK !!!!

It doesn't get much clearer than this..............

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out

Hee hee hee... that's really funny! Grin

I want a monkey now! Grin

But isn't that kinda like how the whole capitalism system works in the first place? Like, Wall Street is full of people buying and selling the 'effort' of workers, and on both sides of each buy/sell is someone who thinks he's outwitting the other person? I know what you're saying is really bad, because that's taxpayer money, but it's always been like the efforts of the workers that the stock market guys are totally exploiting anyways. You know?

the biggest problem with the bail out is that they are borrowing this money for it from China and most of it is going to organizations that helped Obama get elected. So it's really a big payoff and this money will be added to our taxes and our childrens taxes and our grandchildrens taxes. this bail out is close to 1 trillion dollars. If you got one million dollars a day since Christs birth (figuring he was born 1 AD) you would still not have one trillion dollars. you'd be over 200 billion short.

There is a lot of junk in this all, a lot of shadiness, more than I can explain in a simple post.
