bailing out the hedge funds:
I repeat a previous suggestion into the vapor: we invaded Iraq just to create a convenient solution to our glut in the housing market. They speak our precious national tongue, they (if you aren't a bunch of penny pinching jackasses, you are at the very least not penny pinching) have nice occupation pension plans, good credit, and excellent referrals - they worked to make your war work, the least you could do is write a letter of recommendation - so they would be excellent operators of joints serving mediocre pan-Gulf cuisine. We have the homes and you, you have the financial instruments, at a fraction of the cost of getting more of them killed or run out of their own country.

"I repeat a previous suggestion into the vapor:"I read it back then too. I was jealous, however, snubbed that post in a fit of pique.

I'm just concerned about the suffering of the absurdly wealthy. Look at the fate the poor buggers have been dealt, not even the debt peonage law passed by congress right before the shit hit the fan is going to save them from having to look at those very unpleasant line graphs :(

"not even the debt peonage law passed by congress"Fuck! I thought at the time that it was rammed through while the ramming was good and viciousness needn't blush in public. In hindsight, it looks anticipatory too.

I think I naturally assumed it was just to chain the ARMs to the punching bag so the financial sector could wail on their rib cages and punch the brainless stuffing out of their ears for an extra round or six. Negative savings rate and all that, they got em just where they wanted em, then popped the bear trap.
