Why not take that 700 Billion and just buy some Vegas Casinos

[SoCalDem]

at least real casinos seem to make money..:)

and the fatcats would have some spiffy digs to go to when they want to entertain..

Bill Bennett could be a slot-host..Cindy could be a topless waitress (John would be ok with that)..Mrs Moose could run the child care service...Laura could sweep the entryway..
Pat Buchanan could be in charge valet aprking... Lou Dobbs could be in charge of housekeeping..(lots of IDs to check)
John McCain could be an undercover security guy..get him a hover-round,a fishing hat, some plaid bermudas & white socks with brown sandals, a stained tee shirt & hang a slotcard from a lanyard..and he's good to go..


Unless the Paulson Casinos have people at the door waiting to give you back the money you lost, as you leave:evilgrin:

1. an even better idea - give a part of it to all of us

stabilize the mortgages and let the banks fail otherwise, and enjoy the fruits of their Reaganomics.

At least if the people got the money, we'd spend it and get the economy going again.

2. Spot on. This underscores the difference between the political/economic

philosophies at play. One coronates kings, the other empowers the citizenry.

You're dead on. Stabilize mortgages and grow the economy from the ground up. And let the greedy and corrupt eat their own dogfood, so to speak.

Live and let die.

3. It seems to me it would cost

less, if you would take that money and pay everyone's mortgage off in the country on a one time basis. :shrug:

4. The odds are with the house...

at least that's what they say!

Sounds like a better deal to me that buying "toxic paper" that no one can even figure out how to price, and the return is questionable at best.
