Now here's a bailout I can vote for

I didn't write this, but, after I got through laughing, I knew I'd be re-posting it.... because, "We deserve it"!

I’m against the $85 Billion bailout of AIG.

Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85 Billion to America in
a We Deserve It Dividend.

To make the math simple, let’s assume there are 200,000,000 bona fide U.S. Citizens 18+.

Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..

So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion - that equals $425,000.00.

My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.

Of course, it would NOT be tax free.

So let’s assume a tax rate of 30%.

Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.

That sends $25 ½ Billion right back to Uncle Sam.

But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.

A husband and wife has $595,000.00.

What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000 in your family?
Pay off your mortgage – housing crisis solved.
Repay college loans – what a great boost to new grads
Put away money for college – it’ll be there
Save in a bank – create money to loan to entrepreneurs.
Buy a new car – create jobs
Invest in the market – capital drives growth
Pay for your parent’s medical insurance – health care improves
Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean – or else

Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+, including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back, and of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.
After all, don’t they deserve something too?

If we’re going to re-distribute wealth let’s really do it...instead of trickling out a puny $1000.00 (“vote buy”) economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our candidates for President.

If we’re going to do an $85 billion bailout, let’s bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!

As for AIG – liquidate it. Sell off its parts. Let American General go back to being American General, or put the money collected towards our national debt!

Sell off the real estate. Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.
After all, everyone will have $297K - $595K to spend!

Here’s my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn’t. Neither does Wall Strett. The fat cats there already made their Commissions! They’ll get a check too.

Sure it’s a crazy idea that can “never work.””

But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!

How do you spell Economic Boom?

I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion. We Deserve It Dividend more than I do, the geniuses at AIG, or Washington DC.

And remember, this plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.

Well, the Muslims finally have their priorities straight

Sheikh Muhammad Munajid claimed the mouse is "one of Satan's soldiers" and makes everything it touches impure.

But he warned that depictions of the creature in cartoons such as Tom and Jerry, and Disney's Mickey Mouse, had taught children that it was in fact loveable.

The cleric, a former diplomat at the Saudi embassy in Washington DC, said that under Sharia, both household mice and their cartoon counterparts must be killed.

Mr Munajid was asked to give Islam's teaching on mice during a religious affairs programme broadcast on al-Majd TV, an Arab television network.

According to a translation prepared by the Middle East Media Research Institute, an American press monitoring service, he said: "The mouse is one of Satan's soldiers and is steered by him.

"If a mouse falls into a pot of food – if the food is solid, you should chuck out the mouse and the food touching it, and if it is liquid – you should chuck out the whole thing, because the mouse is impure.

"According to Islamic law, the mouse is a repulsive, corrupting creature. How do you think children view mice today – after Tom and Jerry?

"Even creatures that are repulsive by nature, by logic, and according to Islamic law have become wonderful and are loved by children. Even mice.

"Mickey Mouse has become an awesome character, even though according to Islamic law, Mickey Mouse should be killed in all cases."

Last month Mr Munajid condemned the Beijing Olympics as the "bikini Olympics", claiming that nothing made Satan happier than seeing females athletes dressed in skimpy outfits.

whose fault is it?

My brother sent me an article...[ http://www.thedestinlog.com/opinion/government_6477___article.html/crisis_fix.html ]

that basically said this financial meltdown is the Governments fault....here was my response:

while there is plenty of blame to go around, to say that it is all the governments fault is bullshit.



the fundamental faults in order [ according to noted financial guru R. John Ichter ]



1. people… who took out mortgages they couldn’t pay back [ either out of the mistaken belief that they could “flip” the properties [ greed ] or stupidity [ not understanding the terms of the loan ]

2. Mortgage brokers …who aggressively pushed these sub prime loans to, in some cases, unsophisticated or fraudulent customers

3. Wall street… for aggressively packaging these bad loans and selling them to as safe investments to unsuspecting investors

4. Fannie and Freddie …for letting it happen [ they fall down the list because they enable these actions but aren’t directly responsible…..

5. Politicians…



In Bar parlance



Politicians are the liquor distributers

Fannie and Freddie own the bar

Wall st. is the bartender

mortgage brokers are the waitresses

and you are the one who goes to jail if you get drunk and crash your car

ready to serve?

What is so unnerving about the candidacy of Sarah Palin is the degree to which she represents—and her supporters celebrate—the joyful marriage of confidence and ignorance. Watching her deny to Gibson that she had ever harbored the slightest doubt about her readiness to take command of the world's only superpower, one got the feeling that Palin would gladly assume any responsibility on earth:

"Governor Palin, are you ready at this moment to perform surgery on this child's brain?"

"Of course, Charlie. I have several boys of my own, and I'm an avid hunter."

"But governor, this is neurosurgery, and you have no training as a surgeon of any kind."

"That's just the point, Charlie. The American people want change in how we make medical decisions in this country. And when faced with a challenge, you cannot blink."

Don't worry, Sarah Palin is being protected from witches by Jesus

This would be funny if it weren't so scary...fast forward to the 9 minute mark to skip most of the Jeeezus shit.
