That's a lot of money.

If you weren't aware...

$700,000,000,000


Oh hey, by the way did you guys know that there are ~304,865,108 people living in the US of A?

So, just for fun, let's do a little math here.

Let's try a word problem: Seven hundred billion pigs are in Farmer Brown's Barn. There are about three hundred four million eight hundred sixty five thousand one hundred and eight people living in the town. If Farmer Brown decided to equally divide his pigs among all the people in town got an equal number of pigs, how many would each person get?


Thoughts?


700 000 000 000 / 304 865 108 = 2 296.09746

I say we bail out the people that are hurting, not give golden parachutes to the greedy sons of bitches who tossed the whole pie out the window because they wanted a bigger piece.

Or better yet, let's have the government not spend money it doesn't have. Where's the $700B coming from? It's not like we scraped off a few dollars from our "being the world's policeman" program. We're just digging the hole deeper and deeper.

Yes, they are spending 700b and just throwing the assets away. Wow, you're so intelligent. Maybe you could take a finance class and learn how these things work. Fuck, you dumb peasants!

Is this what totse has come to?

Because buying assets for more then they're worth ammounts to something other then throwing money away right?
No, not all the money but a hell of a lot.

sadly, yes.

Lol, this is what totse's always been.

Your on Totse, and what the fuck dose that make you?

yup, that would buy an awful lot of beer. All of this over a mortgage crisis. So lets get this straight. Billybob buys a house at 3% interest for, lets say five years, excellant. then shock, oh my god, my interest is now 11% because some greedy son of a bitch wants more money and I was to stupid to read the fine print. Of course this didn't just happen to poor old billybob but to an awful lot of others and not just in the us but around the world. So why did the bankers (the have's) not just drop the interest when they realized that oops, a lot of people are going default on their loans. oh yeah, that would be because they all gave themselves massive year end bonuses (tens of millions). Now they wine and whimper to the political dweebs who are also big investors in the markets for a huge bailout at the havenot's expense. God I love globalization and no money, because this did not affect me in any way possible. Yes my RRSPs have dropped, so what, in a few years they will probably be stronger than they are now. The only ones that are taking a big hit are the big investors and the bankers, cry me a fucking river you greedy bastards. You Americans should be screaming bloody murder and should lynch a few politicians if the money is issued to wall street. Because where was this money for health care or education or low cost housing?
