I'm putting every cent I own on the Kansas City Chiefs tomorrow. |
|
If the Falcons beat the spread, the Federal Government will reimburse the money I lost and will make other middle class families pay for it. They're morally obligated to financially rescue Americans from the consequences of poor decisions.

2. Well then I should at least be able to borrow $40 billion dollars |
|
and put it on the Chiefs.
Finding a lender shouldn't be too hard, because there's no default risk. If the Falcons beat the spread and I can't pay back the loan, the government will buy the loan from the lender.

5. They play Miami and Cincinnati near the end of the season. |
|
I think that gives them a pretty good shot at 1-15.
But the point is that having large holdings in securities backed by subprime mortgages is almost as stupid as putting money on the Chiefs.
