Where's my bailout?

[MONOPOLY35]

Bail yourself out, buy silver! No matter what the government does to the dollar, silver will adjust accordingly.

[iscrpy]

LMFAO

[fasteddie847]

Where's my bailout? Fuck the government. Anyone who has screwed the IRS out of money deserves a medal. Our government has sold us americans down the river. Politicans don't give a shit about us anymore. There is no difference bewteen republicans and democrates. They're there to give the illusion that we have a choice. Their only job is to say what we want to hear and stay in office as long as possible

[butttaster]

Dude.... I'm a homeowner and so are a lot of people I know.... We never got a bailout. We just keep paying our overinflated mortgage to the bankers that won't refi our loans after my fucking taxes went into their pockets....  Where is my bailout? All I want to do now is foreclose just to give the bank the middle finger... Everyone is relying on people doing the "right" thing to bail everyone else out.

[themeatloaf360]

hilarious!

[sdaisy079]

American's already got a bailout, it was called the stimulus package.

[o0lBobl0o]

Why not the auto manufacturers were protected from their own stupidity.

The bank executives got a million dollar bonus for their own stupidity.

New York is buying tickets to get rid of homeless, because they say there is an average $36,000 a year spent on a family in shelters.

If the gave those families 20,000 a years they could buy a house.

Maybe just spend 30,000 to buy them a house then never have to worry about them again.

Couldn't less money be spent lots better.

[eitkoml]

I blew all my money on drugs, booze, hookers, guns and fireworks, where's my bailout?

[ortafunk]

Of course Car companies need to be bailed out because They don't know how to build a flat wall mount one meter square Electric fly zapper that will also get rid of fiddle back spiders & there Is just No need for effective pest control, Instead buy You a new Car every year with an updated Bose stereo with the new 125 watt speakers Instead of them old 120 watt speakers & they also come with a new computerized cup holder that tells You when & If the drink has spilled out.

[ortafunk]

Why do People pay a $800.00 a month plumbing bill when If a larger diameter drain line was used In the first place the drain line would Not have got stopped up? what Is the difference between a $60.00 30 amperage circuit breaker & a $10.00 30 amperage circuit breaker does the $60.00 circuit breaker use less energy or does Improve golf score.

[ortafunk]

Is It possible to get a 20 foot PVC pipe out the door of Lowes without knocking over a $500.00 lamp? will a $450.00 Water faucet lower the Water bill compared to a $30.00 Water faucet?

[ortafunk]

gosh I Am glade I Am Not a Plumber Not only Is It hard dirty work Its confusing work do You think a $500.00 table lamp or gold plated screen wire will solve the plumbing problem.

[ortafunk]

Am I going to be able to go to Lowes and get what I need a drain line for a sink and some pipe for a well?

[NearingZero]

I hope you never wind up in a wheel chair in a farran country that is being bombed. And your family members can not come to help you because they did not receive any bailout money from their government

[Susieshepherd]

...Funny... I like it when the dude says .."Turns out it was a scam"

[RustyIronloins]

LOL!!

In Canada, the GM auto-bailout is going to cost us $500,000 per employee. That's right. It's not an exaggeration. Here's the math:

Bailout funds = $6,000,000,000

GM Employees = 12,000 in Canada

Total per Employee = $500,000

RIDICULOUS!

[954blade02]

greed starts at home..

[kevinmkeating]

you think this video is good, you should check out this BAILOUT RAP. by FISTSFULLOFFUNK Its twenty times better than this.

[masflojo]

Oh and one more point, that 400 some odd dollars you received as a tax cut, actually cost you over $6k as a taxpayer now responsible for paying back the billions of dollars Obama borrowed and took from you to give you that tax cut. The government cannot create wealth, only redistribute it, aka stealing it from the working American.

[masflojo]

Excellent video, it was funny.

Oh, and don't let the politicians fool you in to thinking that the tax cuts given to the middle class was your part of the bail out. You don't cut taxes by spending billions of dollars to increase the size of the government. Thats ludicrous. You cut taxes by cutting wasteful government programs, agencies and spending. Which is almost all of them. Do your research people. Keynesian economics has proven a failure throughout history. No exceptions.

[rvanhoutin]

You`s money is it anyway`s maybe since they used or money bailout these bank executive`s,GM,Dodge.. I should go get me new home and truck.HMM

[rvanhoutin]

When life give you a lemon don`t eat it. It taste like a lying politician.

[rvanhoutin]

They say we are free to vote and to live how we want but If you voted you are now responsible for this country going to hell.. The government don`t care about the small people only the people that make this country rich their purpose`s.Everyone think`s this country is so grate to live in but look as long as you pay your tax obey the government you are free. just like the laws we have to follow.

[KcKommunistisch]

If you cant afford ur own lifestyle, who else is gonna pay for it? The gov't?

Who pays for the gov't? alot of Chinese and Japanese bond holders waiting for their $10,000,000,000,000.

Who owns our country? those who own our money. And its not Americans.

good vid

[wilsonpwt]

It is important to consider the left/right paradigm where both parties are there to prop each other up and give the impression we have choice. It is the

similarities and not the perceived differences which are bankrupting the United States. Whether Democrat or Republican, defense spending will increase. Whether Democrat or Republican, the size of the federal government will increase. Whether Democrat or Republican, multi-national corporate interests will dominate over the common good of man.

[jramza]

Amen, brother!  Think THIRD PARTY!

[tbirdlew]

Well said.

[cookeladoo]

Democracy......sound free to me, or does it?

[BoDiddleyHeadHunter]

when did they bail out homeowners?

drew my boy, for a man who makes a living as a gambling pimp to people who will never realize their material dreams without a chance appearance on a tv show, you got a lot of balls criticizing the "nanny state."

PS LOVED DIRTY JOKES AND BEER!!!!!11

[lakeviewviking]

They DID bail out home-owners, by lowering the standards for credit...at least THE PRICE IS RIGHT is voluntary; the producers of the show don't have a gun to our heads ala the government.

[BAILOUTMONEY]

America - YOUR INVITED - jo join my experimental protest in support of Money To The People...answer one simple question: "HOW WOULD YOU SPEND $297,000 DOLLARS?" and upload your video respnses to YouTube so I can add them to my favorites.

The Gov is giving out this money w/o knowing how it will be spent or IF it will fix the economy....lets tell them how we would spend it to show if we got the moeny - THIS CRAZY IDEA WOULD WORK AND FIX THE ECONOMY!!

[isin17123]

LOLOLOL Couldn't agree more. Great vid!

[Iquehitobefree]

What sense does this make three months out of year the government takes our money from earned income right off without our approval. Then we file at the end of the year to get a small fraction back if we don't owe more. What bullshit is this.. we buy this crap and agree to it. Now bailout are going to ceos' of companies from bad business deal and greed. and we the people have to pay it back through taxes and our future generation as well. Born into debt, Die with debt. No more IRS or Fed Res Sys

[Iquehitobefree]

You and I con people out of money or swindle counterfeit money we go to jail. Well this what the federal reserve system is doing to all of us. And our government says it's ok for the feds to do it cause we owe them interest. they print our money and run our economy. end the Federal reserve system and IRS. People should withdraw all their money from the banks.. Right when my direct deposit goes in my money comes out, I rather pay my bills with a money order. Stop paying taxes EveryOne!

[NearingZero]

YEaaaaah, you're right the ones responsible are not only the ignorant greedy leaders, but they're ignorant followers are also responsible. While they ignore famine and starving children. They are partying and praising God while perfecting bombs to drop on the infidels. Let's bail them out with our slave labor wages. Not to mention the greed leaders that are responsible for families losing their homes & jobs.

[consciousconscience]

it's fucken laughable how NA auto corps make piece o' crap inefficient cars (both from an engineering standpoint and marketing.. why still so many gas guzzling suv's!?) and they get billions from the gov to continue doing what they're doing

that money could have saved the country if injected through other industries and carefully selected companies.. sustainable ones preferably

[australiamatters]

IF THE WORLD DID NOT HAVE SO MANY PEAOLE OF GREED WORSHOPING MAMMON. WE COULD END WORLD HUNGER WAR, AND POVERTY. You know like the American Christians have done.

[mammuru]

YEaaaaah the american christians are the reason for world hunger, war and poverty. Every country is responsible for their governments, and countries where poverty exist have their socialistic and "revolutionist" fundamentalists. Its so easy to blame others for their own crisis.

[agolmar]

I want the Government to pay for male prostitutes. You know, I've put on a little weight lately and am not successful as before, so...

[mammuru]

I think you should get ur bailout. We all get chubby during Xmas time. And you need to be able to keep up with your profession!

[americasbailout]

This is brilliant!

[NearingZero]

I've got a idea the ones who have the least, we'll give to the ones who have the most. And we'll call it a capitalist society. You know a democracy.

[sybo59]

I've got an idea, lets punish those who worked hard, took risks, and found success by stealing their money in the name of fairness. And we'll call it a socialist society. You know, like Communism.

[SlackJawedJackal]

We have a bail out for, the financial institutions and Aig Ins. that are the base of the, New England economy. We are working on a bail out for the Auto Ind. the base of the Midwest economy.

It will be a cold day in hell when you see our Government, working to save the economy or stimulate the economy, in those states south of the Mason/Dixon or west of the Mississippi.

Remember the Textile Ind. and the jobs lost in the South.

How about a Bail Out for New Orleans. The Gulf coast of Texas?

[thetraveler4137]

Why don't the American people rise up and demand our own bailout!!!! Come on people, let's go to Washington and demand a bailout. I haven't been able to pay college loans $26,000, had a car repo, credit card companies calling me day after day for payment. Shit, I have and am still having a hard time. I want to know, WHERE'S MY BAILOUT!!!!. I'm mad as hell that all these big companies get their own bailout. Screw them and let them fail!!! Let them fail!!! Rise up America!!!!

[ortafunk]

If YouTube does Not censor Me again, These big manufacture Ignore the Customers I Am sick of going Into a Walmart or Lowes and find 5000 different types of lipstick for a Mr. Potatohead or 1000 different table lamps or $500.00 Water faucets Instead of something useful as a 25 foot flexible drain line for a washing machine or a Electric weed trimmer that can run the metal blades or a 1 meter square Electric fly zapper then these big manufactures want to be bailed out.

[813mm]

where's mine?

[Andybaby]

I bought a Porsche 911 Turbo, but then realised I cant afford it. I need a bailout so I can keep my Porsche. It's not just for me, you understand, but the women I could have impressed as well.

[loginname2828]

US Government got ripped off!

Ya!

Where is my bail out.

[louis12346]

The coming depression is going to be terrible. The US owes foreigners over $3 trillion, has over $10 trillion in short-term debt and over $100 trillion in long-term debt. We need $3 billion a day from foreigners just to stay afloat. We cannot compete with foreign countries without re-erecting trade barriers on goods and services. Our educational system has not trained younger Americans and half of them cannot compete. It sure doesnt look good.

[anarchyfortheusa]

Save the HUMMERS! Write your congressman! We need to bailout GM and save the HUMMERS!

[bughead152]

WHERE'S MY BAILOUT?

[ircjunk2004]

Ha. Good one!!!

[MarkBH70]

Sorry, I may have missed this: but I thought we bailed out banks and financial institutions, so how does that relate to bailing out mortgages. I didn't think we bailed out people, just corporations. So am I allowed to be financed? Can I go on vacation, bankrupt? I want everything, and not have to work, let alone make a profit. I like checkers.

[TranCendenZ]

If U.S. automakers didn't pay their workers an average of $29.25 per hour (plus huge pensions and benefits) to make gas-guzzling junk cars, then they wouldn't need our tax money. Most Americans don't make anywhere near $29.25 per hour. WHERE'S OUR BAILOUT!?!?

[HammockTimeNow]

Please don't forget the fat pensions and retirement packages for unions.. THOSE get negotiated

[kimosabi6180]

You have to blame the UAW and US government polices.

[cgraham1930]

it's the damn unions. and they wonder why the have to lay off so many workers every year. every year the union rolls the dice and demands a pay raise, then wait and hope they aren't on that year's layoff list. it's a pretty brutal game. how do they sleep knowing their buddies got fired so they can get a raise.

[amwedin]

Funny

[PoopyMagoo14]

The bailout did help a lot of very wealthy people and companies who did not deserve it. However, do some research on economic history, specifically on the Great Depression. The depression had many causes, but it was a lack of government action which allowed so many banks to fail and the American economic infrastructure to crumble, leading to several years of global economic depression. The bailout is not perfect, but such steps by the government are necessary unless we want a similar situation

[TracyII77]

Actually, it was the government intervention that prolonged the depression. Also, while the stock market crashed in 29', it was not until '31 that the depression took hold. This was because of the massive draught in the South caused by the bole weavil, which George Washington Carver predicted.

[PoopyMagoo14]

Have you actually done research on this topic? I studied under Berry Eichengreen, a revered professor of economic history at the University of California, Berkeley. He has spent time working for the Federal Reserve and has written books on this issue. He believes, along with most other economic history PhDs, that it was a lack of government intervention which prolonged the depression in America, specifically staying on the gold standard for much too long.Blaming it on the bole weavil is asinine

[TracyII77]

"The stock market turned upward in early 1930, returning to early 1929 levels by April, though still almost 30 percent below the peak of September 1929. Together, government and business actually spent more in the first half of 1930 than in the corresponding period of the previous year. But consumers, many of whom had suffered severe losses in the stock market the previous year, cut back their expenditures by ten percent,

[TracyII77]

and a severe drought ravaged the agricultural heartland of the USA beginning in the northern summer of 1930." (Wikipedia- Note the sources listed in its article.) To say that the federal government did nothing, is to ignore FDR's New Deal. And if it was because of the gold standard, we would have remained in the Depression until 1971, when we finally abandoned it.

[PoopyMagoo14]

the stock market is not an accurate reflection of the economic problems of the time. Consumer demand and industrial output both collapsed. Banks throughout the US failed in record numbers. Deflation was so rampant that the Federal Reserve did not know what to do. Unemployment soared. All of these things indicate a depression, regardless of what happened with the stock market. It is actually believed that the recession began before the stock market crash.

[PoopyMagoo14]

Also, we, along with most of the world, went off of the gold standard in the 1930s, then went back onto it with the creation of the Bretton Woods System following WW2. We eventually went off the gold standard because, while it provides stability for a time (say, pre-1930 and then from 1945-1970), it creates conflicts which will eventually ruin it. FDR's New Deal did not deal with the Depression correctly, as FDR believed that the problem was limited demand, when it was really limited output

[PoopyMagoo14]

and yes, you are correct there was a severe drought in the agricultural states of the midwest and south in 1930- this led many to leave their farms and travel west in hopes of work (as chronicled in the Grapes of Wrath). However, this situation was a reflection of the poor economic situation of the time- it did not cause the depression, rather it reflected the tough economic times which led so many to lose their homes and their land. Really, you need to read books on this, not just wikipedia.

[TracyII77]

I do read. I just used Wikipedia, so you go reference any of its listed sources. That being said, most people did not leave their farms, becuase they couldn't afford to leave. Another factor hitting the farms was the fact that during WWI and the following years, they were subsidised by the federal government. When the government quit overpaying for their products, prices dropped by more than half.  That occured a few years prior to the stock market crash

[TracyII77]

You are right that the drought alone did not cause the great depression, but it was the straw that broke the camel's back. In fact, Wall Street was already on the rode to recovery, when the drought hit. Due to the fall out from 1929 (another credit bubble), the country was in no position to cope. As far as FDR is concerned, he very much used the government to intervene. While you might be able to argue that lack of government contributed to the crash, FDR PROLONGED it.

[PoopyMagoo14]

So, you are correct that FDR's intervention did for a time make things worse. However, economists have learned a great deal from this crisis, and the recession we have today is not being treated the way FDR treated the depression. They are not trying to restrain the nation's economic output while allowing for rampant deflation and banking failures. They are doing the opposite, ensuring that the economic infrastructure of this country does not collapse the way it did in the Great Depression

[PoopyMagoo14]

and last, you put too much emphasis on midwestern agriculture. This was a crisis which devastated the entire world, so to say that a rural area with a limited population and economic impact made that kind of difference is a stretch. By that time, the world was reliant on US credit to fund the rebuilding of Europe following WWI (especially to fund Germany's reparation payments). The major crisis was in US fiscal and monetary policy, not just agriculture. Half of US banks failed in half a decade.

[PoopyMagoo14]

Yes that is correct, and FDR used this as a model for his later government intervention in the economy. WWI saw Europe come to rely increasingly on American agriculture, which meant a boost in production for American farmers. Following the war, they continued this production, but as Europe recovered and began increasing its agricultural output, America's produce was less needed, leading to overproduction and the collapse in prices.

[PoopyMagoo14]

This collapse in agricultural prices did occur prior to 1929, so that when the economy collapsed in 1929-1930, many saw the problem as being one of overproduction, which, while true for agriculture, was simply not true for industrial production. This led FDR to pursue policies which limited output and tried to restrain the American economy, making things worse and prolonging the depression as you mentioned. Especially misled in this regard was the National Industrial Recovery Act.

[occollegeboi]

yah, where's my bailout?

[FriedDaisy]

ummmmm . . .i didn't buy anything stupid that i couldn't afford or make any bad investments, but i'd feel a whole lot better about just about everything if the government would just give me $100,000.00.

[DeanStephen]

Throw them all out, Dems and Republicans alike. There isn't an ounce of difference between them anymore anyway.

[vdubs4life1964]

It has a double meaning.. Puts the blame on the buyers and the lenders.. Depends on how you listen to it. Dont vote for a republicrat this year.. Vote Bob Barr, Chuck Baldwin, Ralph Nader, Or just write in Ron Pauls name. Your country and the world will thank you for it. Honestly..

[qerplonk]

Recently on eBay I purchased a "lot" of 10 vintage sleaze novels, including "Backstage Sinner," "Sexodus," and "The Love Cult." Seemed a good investment at the time, but now I'm afraid the value of these books is declining (I'm talking financial value, NOT artistic). I'd appreciate it if someone could find me a mere $89.25 somewhere in the bailout that can help me.
