I sure would like a bailout from my credit card debt. I am sorry for my misguided spending, and I promise never to do it again. Plus, I will become a better consumer and stimulate the economy with more pointless purchases.Originally Posted by Paul

"The 1911 is a collection of subsystems that must work together. Each part must be prepared and fit properly not only in and of itself, but also with regard to the other parts with which it must operate for the gun to function and appear as desired."
i think bailouts are acceptable if we hold them accountable but it isn't going to happen.Originally Posted by Danny

We may be seeing a turnaround at Citi though. A memo released to employess said they ran at a profit for the last 2 months. If that continues through the end of March and we see that fact in their quarterly statements I think it might be the first inkling of a recovery.Originally Posted by Paul
What about home buyer though? Obama's plan says the bailout is for people who lied about income on their applications. IMO those people should lose their house with no questions. They should also be liable for any losses the bank takes on the principle after the house sells through foreclosure. That bailout should goto people like my brother in law who's wife up and left him less than a year into the marriage. When they were together they could afford the house easily and had a ton of cash left over. Now the bank wont talk to him until his house is in the foreclosure process.
ya citi news would be awesome for wallstreet!Originally Posted by BanginJimmy
no bailout money should go to any home owners... its is the breaks of life of making bad decisions. if you buy something you can't afford then you need to be able to face the consequences... if you own a home w/ a spouse and she files for divorce or dies these are factors you need to think about when buying a home/auto,etc

If your kid steals a candy bar do you give them money to buy another one or do you smack them and have them work off their 'debt'?
