Bailout!

[GeorgeNada1]

im calling b.s. on this vid... your average tax payer could NEVER afford a jet pack...

for thoes of you who cannot detect internet 'sarcasm', that was it...

[RantingRamsay]

Have just recently come across your videos.

This one sealed the deal. subbed.

[LowestOftheDead]

Too-big-to-fail companies that go belly-up should be frankly nationalized.  The incompetent managers should be fired and the gov't should make a determination about whether the company should be rehabilitated or liquidated.

[clairehsu2008]

short but so true...

[danielpolandSHC]

The American economy in 38 seconds.  Nicely done!

[4tomhenry]

Thank you for allowing me to stop by!

[im98ran]

[GGAlice1]

sometimes vowels are good

[Techwrath]

We are so screwed if we don't fix the economy. :(

[orkasteez]

[DallusDaPwnage]

:O I'm not American.

I feal left out.

sad face

[pufflelump3]

Don't be fooled it affects us all.

[wolfgar45]

nice cartoon.

[RaZorXwireXbabyX]

lol

thats exactly what it is.

[moondog999]

where does the CRA fit in to all this?

should you include a cartoon of the tax payer (via congress) passing that hand-auger to the wall street man then pointing a gun and insisting he drill?

[EyeCantSee]

I couldn't explain this any better.

[UltrasonicMailman]

That Wall Street executive has such a stupid expression on his face. It's fitting considering how stupid they were for inventing securities backed by bundles of defaulting debt. What's worse is that the idiots at Moody's and Standard and Poor's actually gave them AAA ratings. When will they be investigated? Surely there was bribery occurring in the credit rating industry.

[gasdorf]

we gotta stop voting republican and democrate thier backed by the same people behind the curtain.

[Psilo007]

There are to many idiots in the country, well brainwashed people I should say. They believe there is only 2 choices, the choices are provided so that we can argue amongst each other while the 2 parties have the same agenda, its just the minor details that are differing..

Until people realize this, and vote independent candidates, like Ron Paul, were going to continue to get leeched.

Personally, on the 'minor details' I'm for Obama i don't like McBush or Gov Plain. ty anyway

[petercoffin]

I would like an independant president - not congress, but the guy who can sign stuff in. I want someone completely free of all political affiliation.

[coolmonkeygirl]

me too i voted 4 obama bcuz i feel tht mccain nd palin r gonna kill us nd put us trough the great depression and palin's daughter is gon run through tha wite house wid sum asain bf of hers nd give dem alaksa bt yea anerica needs to get bak on track bcuz history is repeating

[RailmanDave]

Yes, and maybe our education system will improve so we don't have morons talking like this anymore. Judging my the way you type and talk I would say you're uneducated and shouldn't have the right to vote. Go learn something that you don't hear from your parents or friends

[RailmanDave]

Meant for coolmonkeygirl

[eatsoupwithspoon]

A politician with out politics? are you talking about an emperor, a king, a despot, or a Multi bazillionare? I don't like those options personally.

[gasdorf]

thats the first easy explanation i have ever seen of the bailout

[NickandJamie]

Hahaha! Good one. Very easy to understand for those of us who are confused by this whole deal.

[CrusaderEmber]

petercoffin, words of wisdom. Words...Of...Wisdom. Well spake and the true crux of the problem. (As an aside, I say let the chips fall, we'll be better as a nation for it). Then again, we're sadly a different breed then those around in the 30s. I say let em fall where they may anyway.

[petercoffin]

Thank you!

[4tehhorde]

Well said.

[truthadvocate]

Wrong: the bad ideas in this case came directly from Democrats who ran these companies, sheltered them from competition, encouraged loans to people who couldn't afford them, gained votes, bonuses and campaign funds as a result of these reckless policies, and threatened Republicans with false accusations of being "against the poor" and "racist" every time they tried to warn us. The tax payers have been screwed in this case by DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS!

[petercoffin]

Let me tell you who is at fault: poor people and rich people. BOTH! How? Wow, I don't know if I can handle this one...

Oh yeah, it's because idiots making 20,000-30,000 a year cannot afford a 300,000 house but do not understand the idea of living within their means. So they apply for a loan for these homes they can't pay for and what is worse: THE IDIOTS WITH MONEY GIVE IT TO THEM.

EVERYONE is at fault. Republicans, Democrats, trailer trash, and the fattest, richest executive you can find.

[4tehhorde]

Really? I blame Hitler.

[yeoatlad]

yea, i agree, i like the way you think peter.

[CheckUrAccount]

Love the illustration. Short, Simple, and Accurate.

[woode699]

we are not really bailing out walll street as much as we are bailing out the banks.

[petercoffin]

This is a vast oversimplification, though. :)

[woode699]

very true in a sense we are baling out wall street by balling out the banks

[katkicer]

lol its funny because it is true

[k2batman]

the funny thing is the state i live in the econmy is doing better

[YourESPLady]

Lol at his jetpack!

[12235117657598502586]

YourESPLady,

I'm guessing you're kinda young, but I don't find the Wall Street Banker's jetpack funny at all... Why? Because whilst that greedy banker's jetpack is full of unethical sub-prime money)he can live well from now on...But YOUR Parents will be paying their share of the $700 billion to the Bush Government to fill the hole that the bankers left in the American Economy...hell, you'll probably be paying for it too when you start work!

[petercoffin]

Well, that doesn't stop the metaphor from being funny. If someone enjoys the cartoon, nothing wrong with that.

The situation is terrible, though.

[wesleyislife19]

[JimmerSD]

Faved! Alright Peter!

[mrm1775]

"The only thing dumber than a Republican or a Democrat is when these pricks work together! We have a two party system: the Democratic party, which is a party of no ideas; and the Republican party, which is a party of bad ideas. And the way it works is the Republican stands up in Congress and goes: 'I have a really bad idea!' And the Democrat says: 'And I can make it shittier!'"

Thus spake Lewis Black.

[petercoffin]

That is because he's a genius. No one could have said it better.

[Umprella]

Whoever's in charge of the legal system that oversees Wall Street needs to stop being pussies and start arresting people who put more burden on taxpayers by breaking the law and using their power for personal gain.

[Dimwit124]

why was the water black inside the boat.

[petercoffin]

Glitch, there's some weird stuff that happens in my animations from time to time. It usually takes longer to fix that than making the cartoon, so with something that doesn't really detract from the video, I left it in.

Now, in November/December when the DVD comes out, you can bet your butt that stuff isn't left in. That's the final "I am done with it" version.

But with YT and current events, everything is extremely time-sensitive so the earlier it's out the better.

[moderatepopulist]

* * * * *!  Short and bitter.

[seamoremonster]

Well done Peter! Talk about summing up the situation in a nice tight delivery! Even the brain dead can understand this one! Beautiful. I will be sending this one along...Thanks.

[petercoffin]

Thanks for sending it along! Glad you liked it!

[showmein]

so true fuck wall street they all should go to jail and all the millions that they have made giving it to us in the ass the past few years should be given to all of us

[Gimmeabreakman]

yep.

[everyonelovesbutters]

hit the nail right on the head there mate.

[AndrewBean90]

random yet has a good point wall street is jacking our jet packs (metaphor)

[0xxsavaxx0]

wow. lol.

[jkcph]

WAR: There is a war in USA between American tax payer and criminal Corporate USA. The Bailout is just a little attack in this war between main American tax payer and Corporate Criminal USA. Corporate Criminal started this war and plan to win it, The American tax payer is sleeping, and does not know about this war not, because the main mass media is owned by corporate Criminal USA.

[chudleycannonfodder]

Are the pants supposed to change colors?

[petercoffin]

No, it's a glitch due to the fact that this was made in about 2 hours. :)

I plan on fixing it for the DVD version.

[JJaguars84]

fucking random

[JJaguars84]

hahahha....kidding obviously

[jessieheartsyou]

Yay peter!!!!!

[TakeAGuessIfYouCan]

Lol Randomness! Yayy!

[evilshadowducky911]

[Pillowfort]

Finding it random means you don't understand it.

What the hell, man?

[petercoffin]

Yeah, it's pretty not random. :)

[evilshadowducky911]

i do get it, its just made in a random manner thats all, not saying that is a bad thing

[petercoffin]

Well thanks, then!
