Default A cute, but sad, story...

....for which we can probably thank Chuck Schumer.

How The Wall Street Bail Out Will Work

Once upon a time a man appeared in a village and announced to the
villagers
that he would buy monkeys for $10 each.
The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the
forest and started catching them.

The man bought thousands at $10 and, as supply started to diminish, the
villagers stopped their effort. He next announced that he would now buy
monkeys
at $20 each. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started
catching monkeys again.
Soon, the supply diminished even further and people started going back to
their farms. The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys
became
so scarce it was an effort to even find a monkey, let alone catch it!
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 each! However,
since
he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would buy on his
behalf. In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers:
"Look at
all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has already collected. I
will
sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns from the city, you can
sell
them to him for $50 each."
The villagers rounded up all their savings and bought all the monkeys for
700 billion dollars.
They never saw the man or his assistant again, only lots and lots of
monkeys!

Tim,
You have been around long enough to realize Harry is completely myopic.
It doesn't matter what the subject is, he will be able to change the
topic to how the right wing Christians have destroyed the world and how
he enjoys watching them stew in their "own bile".

In this case, the meltdown was caused by (Dem) Barney Frank who still
promotes no-down payment loans, (Dem) Chris Dodd (senate banking
committee head) and Harry Reid, senate maj leader (Dem). Remember,
the Repubs in 2005 warned the congress about this but these three
stymied any action saying therre was nothing wrong. Frank's lover was
an executive at Fannie Mae. Chris Dodd was getting s sweetheart deal
from Countrywide Mortgage and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were giving
huge amounts of money the Obama. Meanwhile, Palin waaaaaaaaay up in
AK had nothing to do with it.
Now, that the Obiminator is in office firmly entrenched with Dodd,
Frank, Reid and Pelosi, those of us who create jobs and wealth refuse
to do so any more because we know we will get punished for doing so.
Consumers also in their hearts know who is to blame so refuse to
invest in the market while the culprits are still in power.
