Do we get paid back?

[politicaholic]

These banks now have some really crappy credit. Can we give them the $700 billion at sayyyy...0% interest for the first six months and then jack up the interest to 22%?

Paulson and Bernanke are both appointees by an administration that only requires a certificate in dog grooming as credentials. I personally don't believe that this Katrina-like economic disaster is a job for either of those guys.

Five years from now when they're receiving kick backs for their actions today I wonder if they'll look back on this moment fondly. A bag of money slipped under the table of a Dubai sushi restaurant really helps sooth the sting of bilking the entire population of your birth place out of billions of dollars.

I'm not confident that a souless husk of a human being like Paulson can steer us in the right direction. Are you?

1. "O% interest?"

With crappy credit, charge them 29.99% interest! That's the way it works in the real world.

Remember, we set the conditions and we can change the terms of the agreement whenever we want to...

2. Don't forget

to jack the interest up to 26% if they make one late payment. And no, I'm not confident these people are steering us in the right direction.
