in this modern world, education seems to be the key to everything. improve education, outlaw homeschooling, make universities less expensive. and then you have to fix your media system somehow, and make sure that the public has access to some high-quality news channels. but for the moment, you are fucked.

Why don't we do what Warren Buffet did, purchased preferred shares with 10% interest?
That why they could get the cash they need.
Buffet didn't want to mess around with the toxic assets, why should we? Other than the politicians want to selectively dish out the 700B for political gain.

This is depressing. Considering that the CPP is worthless, it basically means that I will never be able to retire.

absolutely and completely. But it's not your fault. We've all been hearing how easy it is to put your money to work for years, and those adds are still playing...

American education ranks 38th in the world behind shri lanka in math/science. Run of the mill 20 somethings are illiterate. Our primary skilled talent has been laid off and atrophying for 10 years..along with key mfgr. corporations and govt have bred corruption...we are fat, dumb as hell and lazy now for the most part.
it will be nasty as hell... recovery to viable levels will take a generation or more. I can ply my trade and engr skills though.
wow I guess the bill didn't get passed :-)

bush will try it again. i guess we will have to wait until after the election.
we will keep telling bush that the bailout, in its current form, is nonsense, and bush will keep trying to get the bailout passed, ignoring all other possible solutions. and the result is that nobody does anything to improve the situation. that would be the worst case scenario.

"[...]while I'm sure no one likes the idea of giving these banks loads of cash as a reward for fucking up, maybe seeing the bigger picture would be better at this point. I will say this for sure, this would be money much better spent than the loads we've been dropping on the war. And we've been doing that for years. Maybe 700 billion to make sure we all don't have to become farmers isn't so bad."

the problem is, they are giving the money to the wrong people. and they are NOT doing some of the things that wouldnt cost anything but that would help to improve the situation, right now as well as in the long run. a better idea, probarbly not the best one, because im not an expert: give the money to individuals and small companies to pay off their debt. the cash will then automatically go to the banks, because they have been lending the money. bail out the people, not the criminals.
