If anyone wants a good serious analysis of why this Act will not help us, I wrote one up over on Andrew’s forum for the fine folks over there.

Here’s some more bailout humor – a really funny song about the Wall Street mess. Anything to lighten up a grim topic: Bailout song

Oh and Captain Morgan recently build a new Rum manufacturing plant in the Virgin Islands and now they get a nice tax break from this bill.

Good thing they addressed rum imports, the key drag on our economy. We need it after all to trade for molassas and slaves.

Andrew you can’t keep creating money and lending it all over the place. All this bill does is buy the bad debt and start the process of borrow borrow borrow all over again.

There is a credit crunch because we have finally reached a ceiling on how much we can borrow. The Bill does not address this problem, and in fact it borrows more money to not solve anything.

We need to pare down our debt, both as a country and personally before the credit will free up. This is basic economics.

The other thing the Bill does is cover up all this bad debt. There has to be way more then $700 billion in distressed property for Congress to want this done so badly and quickly.

I used to think our lack of knowledge in math and science were going to be our ruin but now we need to include basic economics.
