$700 billion!!!!!

Been awhile since I updated, so here goes:

Went to a big beer festival last weekend , just gave my roommate a 30 day notice, shampooed by carpet and almost have a 70 Draenei Warrior in World of Warcraft.

More important than me though, if you can believe it, is the state of the country’s economy. I won’t pretend that I understand all that’s going on, actually I’m not sure anyone does, but I do know that it involves a $700 billion plan to bail out a few private banks and investment companies. Let me repeat that, $700 billion! Oh, and let me add, the money is yours and mine. Yes, it’s taxpayer dollars.

Some are saying that without the bail out plan the US is doomed, but is it really. The $700 billion will pretty much be used to buy up bad mortgages and loans that no one will buy. Will that change? Will they buy them when they are held by the government, a government that is already $9.7 trillion, yes trillion, in debt? This totally reminds me of the lipstick on a pig thing! It’s still junk, people!

What happens if we let these troubled banks and investment companies fail? I really don’t know. All that I can find when I ask this question is doom and gloom, but there must be someone out there who thinks differently, but I’ll be damned if I can find them. Both Republicans and Democrats are saying the bailout is necessary, with certain caveats, but they are still saying it’s necessary.

Is it?

Now I’m depressed but here is some clicky to make us happy: http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/36d31abcf2
