The 700 Billion Dollar Question

[Doreen Peri]

Where are they going to get the money for this $700 billion "bailout"?

Print it?

Let's see now you have approx 300million peeps...if my math isn't terribly wrong it's about $21 each...

[Doreen Peri]

Math or not, sorry I don't buy it.

I know you're Canadian so you're not in this like we are..... Just saying, it's all too creepy .... the govt is taking over everything and the country is already so far in debt, it could take many lifetimes to dig out

Why should the govt bail out Wall Street?

This is all about greed ... but it's also about more ... and i'm not sure what yet.

I suspect that yes, they'll print the money .... further devaluing the dollar and later our children and grandchildren will still be paying for it.

Time for the revolution....I know how scary it seems...but like all isms capitalism too shall pass..I tend to be utopian in my apolitical views....
No government is the only government for me...

i guess distance makes me cynical, but i figured they'd just wheel out the silkscreen printer and do an all-nighter.
