Pay up the $700 billion or there'll be an ECONOMIC MUSHROOM CLOUD!

[K8-EEE]

JUST TRUST US! WE'LL FIX IT!

uh-huh.....now where have I heard that before.

This is such BS.

[Jeanette in FL]

1. We are being blackmailed, no doubt about it

I don't know why we are not storming the Bastille.

[K8-EEE]

3. Yeah and just like the Iraq war, NO TIME TO DEBATE!

If we take the time to figure out a detailed plan it will be TOO LATE! So just GIVE US THE MONEY....IT WILL ALL WORK OUT FINE.

[BeFree]

5. Why not?

'Cuz we're too lazy. We have placed our faith in the gov. to protect us. Just like we did on 9-11.

[livelongandprosper]

7. Because

1. We don't have a Bastille.

2. 95% of Americans think the Bastille is a french cookie.

[Sal Minella]

15. It's not a tiny French child?

[livelongandprosper]

23. Very tiny. As tiny as a cookie. n/t

[Fearless]

21. Oh noes! Not the French!

:sarcasm:

[BlooInBloo]

2. Just like McLiar: Elect me or else I won't tell you how to get bin Laden.

[Vincardog]

4. Pay up and pass the bill so I can not be challenged in court and the Congress has no oversight.

Who elected them GOD? Call your elected officials
tell them to say
"Thanks but no thanks" to this financial rape.

[barbtries]

14. i will be doing that

emailing, calling, are there any petitions up yet?

[fascisthunter]

6. EXACTLY!

[OneGrassRoot]

9. Yep, EXACTLY -- they'd better be tapping into their sense of ...

deja vu and not give in to scare tactic without REASON. Again.

[prayin4rain]

8. this is a stick up... do exactly as we say and no one will get hurt. n/t

[Sal Minella]

11. Exactly! "Just give us the money. We don't wan't no trouble."

Quick and clean. Right. And rammed through on a Friday afternoon, hoping that by Monday morning the press will be all fixated on Sarah Palin's new barrettes.

[Junkdrawer]

18. Beat ya to it...

[prayin4rain]

24. yeah... do what we say and we MIGHT decide to spare you n/t

[barbtries]

10. yep

that is the meme. the sky is falling. fuck the people, hold up "the economy" for what? another few months? no.

[progressoid]

12. Pay $700B NOW or it'll be a Trillion the next time!

[barbtries]

17. reality check:

Pay $700B NOW AND it'll be a Trillion the next time!

[grasswire]

13. If you don't impeach Bill Clinton for sex right now....

....teenagers will have more BJs! Or people will lie more! You must go see the evidence in the SECRET ROOM!

[kimmerspixelated]

19. This is a form of terror!

They know damned well the average Joe has no way of countering this with fact checks. Unless one is smack dab in the middle of NYSE, and knows everything, literally, there is no way to confirm the truth of their claims of financial wasteland. Are things generally bad, yes, I believe that. It's the war billions that have generally been a pull on our economy. They never mention that in their finger-pointing, cuz their dingleberries don't stink, evidentally!

The fact that there is such a quick do it now or else gun to our heads, is suspect!

These folks are scary alright, in that they will do ANYTHING for money!

22. Axis-of-incompetence at work again?

I suspect this bailout is designed to keep Bush's corporate welfare state afloat. The Bush-Paulson-Bernanke axis-of-incompetence will NEVER do anything of this size that doesn't help the rich and the Republican corporate welfare state. They will scream "the sky is falling", "it's 1929 if you don't give us the $$$", blah, blah, blah! Let's take some time here people - we're probably just being robbed again and our children's future stolen.

[JBoy]

25. It's only future generations that will feel the pain. This is going on their tab.

[K8-EEE]

26. Reckless Republican "debts don't matter" mindset

Do these people run their household budget this way? HEY LOOK ANOTHER CREDIT CARD OFFER FROM CHINA.....FREEE MONEY! I don't want to pay it off though, that's too taxing.
