[bunnasoo2]

TRIP OUT!!!! I was watching Democracy Now today on Free Speech TV on Dish Network, a super serious intelligent left-left-left-left-wing news show, probably the most influential non-corporate news show in Lefty-dom, and they showed this video during their break! HAHAHAHAHA Oh my god you have to hear the way Amy Goodman identifies it at the end. I think I'll try to put it up on my own You Tube channel and send you guys the link. Wow, talk about When Worlds Collide!!!

[davesajerk]

hahahaha one of my favs now

[kinda87]

aweeesome electric

[theswamprat1776]

I just put a virtual dollar in your guitar case....

[tickyul]

The best idea is to DISMANTLE both Fannie and Freddie. The idea of both of these companies is to inject liquidity into the mortgage markets, by freeing banks capital which would otherwise be tied up in the loans if it were not for F&F buying. The problem is when F&F get burned, the government gets burned. Also, I am sure banks are a lot less careful doing their underwriting due to the fact that F&F are going to soon be taking the stinky paper off thier hands, Will F&F ever die, oink oink, never.

[uturniaphobic]

great song guys! 5*s!

I connected the dots:

AIG (an insurance giant) went bust in 01/09 roughly

All of a sudden there's a mandate coming for health insurance

healthcare "reform" = AIG bailout

see how it works?

Also I say this healthcare BS is RFID chip implementation in disguise.

watch 'em, folks... REALLY watch 'em!

[beattielol]

lol

[vicegrip88]

keep up the good work

[goldenbacon]

this is one of my favorite song of you guys!

[RedPsycho666]

[bulbheadmyass]

LOL. This video is awesome and you guys are awesome too. I love that ending. Can't stop chuckling.

[GoLuckyOops]

Please support The Federal Reserve Transparency Act! Our Congressmen have the right and responsibility to Audit the Federal Reserve. They should have come clean with the American Taxpayers a long time ago. We need transparency.

[GoLuckyOops]

The federal reserve has hired lobbyists (ie. Linda Robertson, who also lobbied for Enron) in their self interest to prevent government accountability, to keep the status quo. Please help to support HR 1207! The FED does not consist of elected officials. Our own congressmen have the right and responsibility to know!

[4funFlicks]

funny now check this

/watch?v=fovlBsczWvg

[Audioplay3000]

The ending is priceless. LOL

[sanasinnersanctum]

We Didn't Start The Crisis Stern

(but must be familiar with the original: We Didn't Start The Fire by Billy Joel)

[MeerkatsAreCool]

Awesome song!!!

Magnificent ending! You guys rule!

[jjjiiinnniii]

Great song! you guys are awesome!

Very creative ending haha

[shmandersproductions]

[UltrasonicMailman]

Very funny song. In a way, you guys remind me of Flight of the Conchords.

[yay1001]

in a way, but flight of the conchords to be honest has been making less funny videos (their music videos).

[kittykittypaw]

And what a cool job it is you guys do an excellent Job my husband is the one who told me about you guys.

[thepatquinn]

great minds think alike

[Hexonip]

[flyingscotno1]

Love it, Freddie Mac was a pimp lol!

[catzeyzes]

ssssssssshaft...........

[QuitConstant]

SHAFT!

[mydogjesus]

it's a shame that this is the number one bailout song to represent us on youtube. It's dreary and hopeless and not an anthem. We think it's great that you took the time to write one and post it though. oh well- i guess i just expected a lot more.

[Stereotype6]

I don't think an 'anthem' would suit the mood tbh

[mibstervonmib]

hahaha wwooww that was freakin awshume xD I loved the last par-

[sweetkid24]

I love this song

[vicegrip88]

nice video

[poeticpoverty]

WE are becoming a socialist country...

democrat,socialist, communism. keep changing the name eventually you'll fool someone

[derekcrozier1]

The US is definitely turning more and more into a socialist country... and FYI socialism and communism are almost identical... both FAIL

[matsuiny2004]

capitalism fails too

[hardmod777]

One of the best...

[TBRCFilms]

Hahaha!! loved it

[4tomhenry]

Thank you for allowing me to stop by!

Hey this is really GREAT STUFF HERE!

It inspired me to start a band too!

I would like to share with you what The Bailouts have been doing:

Please click on my posting link!

Enjoy and keep passing all of us at YouTube around!

[LiesMustStop]

You guys are pretty clever I'll give you that.

[billkinca]

Excellent! I just added this to my favorites..

[FluxCapacitor2008]

Check out Rachal Maddow - Somebody Saw it Coming

[dalanis]

really GOOD made me laugh, which I haven't done in a while...... :>)

[nicolcacola]

i wish palin would take me in :(

[SupRnurseJ]

I'm liking this vid - the lighting is perfect. Kinda' looks like R&L are in a closet. Very intimate, up close and personal. Everything is simple yet so effective.

The music is original. I've never heard anything like it. I love the raw sound of the guitar and bass. Shaft!

[southernlady75]

you two truly sing harmoniously together!

[filmcrafters]

That was fantastic. Great job.  I'll try to post a video response that I think you'll get a kick out of. It is called "Big Old Federal Government, The Music Video."

[TheFrenchers]

i really enjoyed your song!! for another song about the economy, check out "Money makes you crazy" on youtube. keep up the good work guys!

[8RandomGirl8]

Ahahaha...amazing ending...

[paultestpaul]

Great!

[isdp2]

Nice song guys!

[4tomhenry]

Good tune! The Bailouts... check on our link

[zsylvana]

In the absence of their doing something on a voluntary basis,Brzezinski said,"there's going to be growing conflict between the classes and if people are unemployed and really hurting,hell,there could even be riots!"Brzezinski reminded the listeners that,when there wasmassive banking crisis in 1907,the great financier,J.P. Morgan,invited a group of wealthy financiers to his home, locked them in his library,and wouldn't let them out until they all kicked in money for a fund to stabilize the banks

[zsylvana]

Brzezinski said: "Where is the monied class today? Why aren't they doing something: the people who made billions?"

Zbigniew Brzezinski, apostle of anti-Communist ideology Ex-National Security Advisor, appeared on a morning television talk show on February 17, and was asked to discuss his previous mention of the possibility of class conflict in the United States in the wake of the worldwide economic collapse

[pinkeygirl11]

[ataturk2k]

Tasty. Real Good...

[StarinRehab]

[MuffinsatMidnight]

[JAMamation]

wow nice vid, we will get out of this crisis one day for sure like in the great depression they did, it obviously won't stay like this forever.

[bunnymynost]

Love it.

[theQiwiMan]

"Faithful Feds" makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

Its the "Faithful Feds" that cause these man made Booms and Busts. They are the most evil men in the world. :-(

[n7zsd]

How true...How sad...but yet so incredibly funny! Great job guys!

[elliottsmith9]

funny..good tune

[AceTough]

The best song on this topic that I have heard is Federal Reserve by Painting Tasters on TheSixtyOne

[binkfred2]

i dont relly like this one?????but funny

[RedhawkIME]

a clip from this song just played on Nightline!!!!! You're now officially famous!

[brighteyestwo]

[SHOOTER0072003]

[jeaniedubose1]

[laughinbuddhaboy]

"finish this So---" roflmao

[Marypoppinscollar]

I love this song. Rhett and Link are awesome

[CrazyKidHam]

hahaha "I don't even think i can finish this......"

[Zodicos]

That was awesome!!!

[Heidi47]

That was actually really nice

[Poffpoffpass]

Our country is run by capitalistic pigs, what do you expect was going to happen?

[SHUTDAFU]

Back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for

tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it.

They failed and it closed.

Now, we are trusting the economy of our country and 850+ Billion Dollars to

a pack of nit-wits who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling

booze.

Now if that don't make you nervous, what does???

[JesseDestructo]

jello...jello makes me very nervous.

[midweekwarrior]

When my family is among the top 10% of wage earners in the country and we pay 90% of the taxes.. why ? People abuse the system; when we can ensure our federal programs are not being abused by illegal aliens, people who have not worked a single day in this country etc.. i will be more willing to support higher taxes..

[demexii1]

Especially when we use government resources the least. So dumb.

[everysandwich]

Ha! Very nice! And the voices are eggcelent, too!

[NearingZero]

I've got a idea the ones who have the least, we'll give to the ones who have the most.

[AcaiBerryMONAVIE]

they the BANKERS AND TRADERS will SUCK SATAN'S COCK in hell forever

[coolgeek2751]

Very funny and well done musically.

[sewajermax]

I just got to say that was great. If I had access to a trillion $ I would certainly finance the rest of your song which started out good by the way. Very nice. But unfortunately my government has given all the bailout money to the very rich at least until January 20th. I am stressed. We will see what we can do, because we can. lol indeed.

[julez57]

hahahaha you guys are so funny.. the guitar in this is pretty sick too

[P0YKPAC]

Haha amazing... just. The whole thing.

[cah777]

the ending was fantastic. nice work fellas!!

[Chrisky81]

Fantanstic job, fellas! Funny and accurate - LOVED IT!

Peace

[JEJ0090]

what kinda guitar does link have?

[Brycebrodeur]

I love this, you need an album!

[EVHSlightReturn]

It's a Double Cut... Perhaps a Gibson or Gibson copy ie: Epiphone. The ending was kind of Soprano like !

[gordie4101]

"Fanny Mae - You almost failed me Boo!" ROFL

[cheezelover150]

I have just found you guys and I am loving it! Being from the south, the Barbeque was the best and messing with race fans even better! Why wasn't this on snl ?

[fidelaone]

Clever, clever, clever...you guys put a new spin on almost everything. The question is this, do you do everything with triple meanings or is your comic genius just such that it just "happens?"

[dazzleronline]

shaft!!!!!

[freedompalmbay]

AIG Bailout Part II?

[tranmere789]

Is it funny that most of the americans can't understand that Bush was actually a great communist. Ask Fanny Mae, Freddie Mac and bunch of bank corporation leaders if you don't believe it.

George W. Bush - the great communist!

[xleax]

yeah right

[11ChevChelios11]

:D great vid^^

i love you RHETT&LINK!! :P

i check my subsciptions multiple times a day... only to wait for a new video you release ;)

5*

[fullclip16117]

Wow, these guys used to be awesome but each of their new videos are just worse than the one that came before it.
