Public Risk, Private Profits!!
Everyone chant the mantra!
It’s so blatant, so obvious what they are doing. The sheer audacity is mind-boggling. They know that people will give them the benefit of the doubt. People who say, “These guys planned and carried out the biggest heist in world history” are conspiracy theorist nutjobs, no one would DO that! Yes, they would.

Can I just give a big thank you to the old-school fiscally conservative Republicans who stood up and said no to their own party regarding the bailout? If all Republicans were like those guys, I wouldn’t be so hopping mad at conservatives all the time. However, look at which side McSame supports. I used to respect the guy, but he has obviously sold his soul and joined the dark side.
Well you know the strategy of modern Republicans, if theres a problem, throw money at it.
Those borrow-and-spend Republicans are so fiscally irresponsible.
The strategy of modern government, you mean.
Dude, I usually disagree with you, but that is about the most accurate thing I have seen on this board in a while.
Oh my gosh I totally get this one
I pay you one Euro – than all you banks belong to me!
SOMEONE SET US UP THE BAILOUT!
Damn, you beat me to it.
How are you taxpayers?
I’ve been watching CNN, and I just saw that they don’t want to use taxpayer money, but private money. WHERE THE HELL are they going to get that 700 billion dollars of private money??
by acknowledging it ain’t actually 700 Bil and making the guys who caused the mess in the first place be the primary financial source of the bailout? Just a wild guess….
Uhhhh, don’t you know how the Fed works ? They just make it out of thin air !
More or less, that’s how it’s done. And BTW, the Fed isn’t Federal, it’s banks like Citicorp, JPMorgan, BoAmerica, HSBC, etc.
aktually Someone set us up the subprime loans would work a bit better
then scramble all bailouts
Holy cow. Charles Manson called, he wants his eyes back.
I wonder where Manson got the eyes from… guess this one can’t call for wanting them back
Oh! Oh! Marry me! Marry meee!!!
Is this a photoshop or does this guy really look this creepy?
PS – All the news I am reading today is saying that a deal was close to signing but McLame screwed it up and set the negotiations back without ever offering any intelligent contributions.
Yeah, if only we could blame this on one guy. Sadly I think there are thousands of people to take the blame on this one. As far as the deal’s latest stall out, from what I’ve read it was from some Republicans in the House that screwed it up, not McCain.
From what I have read so far they had the plan outlined and agreed upon in theory (2 holdouts) until McCain showed up and started talking about a different plan … One which waives the capitol gains tax for 2 years and gives tax incentives to companies buying the bad debt.
I don’t blame McCain alone for the economy problems though he is not blameless. I am saying that he brought election politics and grandstanding into the bailout and ground it to a halt.
Paulson actually went down on one knee begging Pelosi not to talk the Dem’s into stalling the agreement. Her reply was that it was republicans not democrats that were holding it up. To which he said “I know, I know.”
At least this is what I have read so far.
According to the source with knowledge of the White House gathering — which featured both presidential candidates, congressional leaders and the President — virtually ever key figure in the room, save McCain and GOP Sen. Richard Shelby, were in agreement over a revised version of Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson’s plan.
-
Towards the end, McCain finally spoke up, mentioning a counter-proposal that had been offered by some conservative House Republicans, which would suspend the capital gains tax for two years and provide tax incentives to encourage firms that buy up bad debt. McCain did not discuss specifics of the plan, though, and was non-committal about supporting it.
-
Paulson, however, argued directly against the conservative proposal. “He said that he did not think it would work,” according to the source. At another point in the meeting, President Bush chimed in, “If money isn’t loosened, this sucker could go down” — and by sucker he meant economy.
-
ABC News reported that, following the meeting, Paulson “walked into the room where Democrats were caucusing…at the White House and pleaded with them ‘please don’t blow this up.’” But this story isn’t incomplete, according to sources.
-
Democrats stayed talking in the Roosevelt room and Paulson approached them. After his comment, Speaker Pelosi and Rep. Barney Frank shot back that the real problem was with House Republicans. Paulson replied, “I know, I know,” as he got down on one knee to lighten the mood. Pelosi joked back, “I didn’t know you were a Catholic.”
From NBC’s Ken Strickland and Mike Viqueira
During a speech on the Senate floor this morning, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D) urged President Bush to “respectfully tell Sen. McCain to get out of town. He’s not helping.”
Schumer also requested that Bush get the his House Republicans in line. “We need President Bush to take leadership. We need President Bush, first and foremost, to get the Republican House members to support his plan or modify it in some way to bring them on board,” he said.
He added, “When you inject presidential politics into some of the most difficult negotiations under normal circumstances, it is fraught with difficulty. Before McCain made his announcement, we were making great progress. Now after his announcement, we are behind the 8 ball. We have to put things back together again.”
“So this is a plea to President Bush, for the sake of America, please get your party in line. Get the House Republicans to be more constructive; get Sen. McCain to leave town and not throw fire on these flames. And maybe we can get something done.”
Meanwhile, per a GOP congressional source, McCain has told House Republicans leaders this morning that it was time to get someone to the negotiating table and work towards a deal.
House Minority Leader Boehner has now designated the whip, Roy Blunt, to be that person.
Link in my name to another article – Admittedly liberal slant
huh … first one not posted … it was from NBC – Schumer telling McCain to leave town and telling Bush to get control of house republicans.
My current favorite link … from a conservative columnist no less
I read it, I lol’d.
Wait, I thought McCain SAVED THE ECONOMY just in time to not cancel tonight’s debate?
His name is Henry Paulson.
His name is Henry Paulson.
His name is Henry Paulson.
His name is Henry Paulson.
His name is Henry Paulson.
Hank is short for Henry
Clearly the solution to this problem is to take off every Zig.
Like that will do any good. Obviously, we have no chance to survive, and must make our time.
WaMu will not survive make your time
Too late… WaMu has died.
No, just bought by Chase

Thanks, FDIC!
It’s quite a coup for
“Shine on you” Jamie Dimon
To buy up WaMu
WaMu rebuffed him
Many times before, but he
Finally got his way
Shame the stockholders
Got shafted in the process
The employees too…
I see what you did
Pink Floyd reference FTW
In the second verse
demoCrATS: HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMEN?
YOU ARE ON THE WAY TO SOCIALISM MAKE YOUR TIME
DEMOCRATS SET UP US THE BOMB!
So sorry you have been living in a cave for the last two weeks. You see, the world has gone all topsy-turvy. Bush and McCain are the ones proposing socialism, for the rich. You know, that whole ‘bailout’ thing? Yeah, uh, that’s socialism. Which is what this post is making fun of, get it? Who will all your banks belong to if Bush and McCain get their way, the private sector? Who will own the mortgages?
How did you understand what the F he was saying well enough to respond? Explain please. All I see is gobbledeegook.
I don’t want Bush to get his way, and McCain hasn’t said what he thinks. I want no bailout, and spending and tax cuts throughout. You sound like you may know what you’re talking about. Learn to state your opinion without insulting cave references.
Dude, are you really the guy that wrote the first message up there? I understand the second one, but had no effing idea what the f you were saying in the first one.
GD it I knew joining the comment cabal was a bad idea… woohoo (Wamu?)
I’m sayin Dem policies, in general, lead to big government, including ownership of housing, banking, health care…
Nevermind tho.. I’m gonna let you guys have fun with it and get on my way. This was too good of a LOL to pass up. It was fun.
Actually, government spending from ’94 to 2006 (When republicans controlled the legislature) increased more than in any other time in history.
I make no excuses for Pelosi and Reid not taking things in hand from 2007-2008. They’re a couple of pansies. No disrespect intended to those in the LBGT community who might refer to themselves as pansies
I think the word you are searching for is “ineffectual”.
As in:
After all our hard work in 2006 resulting in a Democratic majority in congress, I gnash my teeth daily due to the ineffectual “leadership” of Pelosi and Reid.
He was referencing a bad translation from a video game (the same one the caption references) hence the apparent incoherence. Google “All your base” if you want the back story.
Let’s make a deal, you don’t lie about who is behind the socialist bailout of the rich, and I won’t suggest you must have been living in a cave.
Let’s make a counter deal. Realize what game he is referencing thus what his joke is about. Then apologize for flying off the handle at him when he is on your side and only keeping with the parody that the caption is using.
Come on, Seth, back off the caffeine some. It is making you too jumpy.
I know the game. For the sake of accuracy, he should have said ‘Republicans set us up the bomb.’ Not DemoCrATS. (note the reference to the evil CATS here)
–
“What happened? Someone set us up the bomb!” is the original line in context. Who set us up the bomb here? Who are CATS and who are the heroes?
I was under the impression he was speaking from Paulson’s point of view which would make his lines make sense. But I am not him. *shrug*
Hey wait, Seth. We’re on the same team. Insult away.

You have no chance to survive, save your dimes.
okay, had to do it….
In A.D. 2008
Recession was beginning
Taxpayer: What happen?
Pundit: Somebody set up us the bailout.
Anchor: We get proposal.
Taxpayer: What!
Anchor: Wall Street turn down.
Taxpayer: It’s you!!!
Paulson: How are you taxpayers!!
Paulson: All your banks are belong to us.
Paulson: You are on the way to Depression.
Taxpayer: What you say!!
Paulson: You have no chance to oversight save your dimes.
Paulson: HA HA HA HA….
thx to whobewhatie, Rivahcat, and Sam for inspiration. I’m now going to go shoot myself….
good 1
I was thinking more like this is how Paulson got Congress to give him $700 billion…
Paulson: How are you gentlemen!!
Paulson: All your banks must belong to U.S.
Paulson: You are on the way to depression.
Congress: What you say!!
Paulson: You have no chance to survive if you take your time.
Paulson: Ha Ha Ha…
Congress: For great socialism!
Congress: Vote for extra pig!
Congress: We know what we doing!
Congress: Vote for extra pig!
Naiveness: thinking only one party was responsible for this mess.
In bed.
It doen’t count when you respond to your own post with “in bed”, sorry.
Bush gave Wall Street the keys to the liquor cabinet and they got drunk. The fact that the US has no choice but to flirt with socialism is 100% the fault of those in the Bush Administration who took unbridled capitalism to the extreme. Enjoy it, kidda.
Even Christopher Lee is saying “Damn! That dude scares the crap out me!”.
Buy me.
Has anyone besides me noticed how much Paulson looks like Colonel Klink? There is one hell of a joke in it for someone with the right Photoshop skills. The above picture needs a monocle and Nazi uniform. The caption could read, “Still loyal after all these years” or just give him a monocle and caption “I’m making my daddy proud.”
