Well, anyone surprised by this humble request?

Banks want government bail-out . . .

1. No. But I find it rather hypocritical considering they're foreclosing on the

same people who have to fork up the bucks for their bailout (along with whatever friggin' country is lending this administration money this week).

4. When you're right, you are right.

Thanks. I enjoy pithiness served up with the truth.

5. You shouldn't bash John Edwards' employer that way.

If Edwards says he didn't know what was going on despite being a managing executive of the company that should be good enough for us.

6. You're pitiful n/t

8. Thank you Orren. You just reinforced on of my opinion regarding the

influx of a lot of the new posters here at DU. Everytime a clown like you finds his way here, you drag the collective I.Q. of the entire site down. Hell, everytime someone like you posts it drags the collective I.Q. of the entire internet down.

Did Mommy help you turn on the keyboard today? Or is it your keeper?

2. Hell yeah ...

I say we reduce public school funding, food stamps, unemployment and other extravagances that the poor enjoy, while we increase taxes on the bottom .... JUST to make sure the banks get what they need ...

But hey: LETS CUT TAXES ON THE RICH ...... ok ?

Yeah ..... Right ....

3. No bail-out without reform.

Re-regulate banking. Get the government out of our bedrooms and back in our boardrooms and BANKS.

7. FIRST, open the cooked books!

How about some light on that $405T "notational value" of derivatives?
