I swear.. does anyone else think we're living in the f*cking twilight zone? I swear, this is a dream... First, Fannie and Freddie- Merrill gets bought out by Bank of America, Lehman Bros. files bankruptcy.. now this.. (edit: the U.S. sector of Lehman has now been bought by Barclays)

Add to that the article on the front page of yahoo today..
Top Economist Americans Should Worry About Bank Deposits if Congress Doesn't Act: Tech Ticker, Yahoo! Finance

"That "run" could accelerate as people realize the FDIC fund has about $50 billion to "insure" about $1 trillion in assets at the nation's financial institutions, says Roubini. "They're going to run out of money" unless Congress acts soon to recapitalize the FDIC."
(oh but don't worry, "The banking system is safe and sound")



I really don't think people understand how f*cking bad things are.. all the dominoes are set.. and the first one is just tittering back and forth..

They're just rushing around trying to hold up a falling building with twigs..

The List:
Bear Sterns
Lehman Brothers
Fannie May
Freddie Mac
Indymac
Merrill Lynch
AIG
& at least 20 other businesses well known have gone bankrupt, been bought out(think of that big beer company InBev bought), downsized & still downsizing, raising prices & so on & so on. All this has happened in about six months. Think it's bad now?
Just wait a little bit longer it's gonna get real exciting in the world.

AIG is an insurance company. That makes me have a couple of questions.

What happens if people have a claim? are they just SOL?

Where did all the money from those insurance premiums go to? Do their CEO's just suck everybit of profits off the top of the company and keep it?

Shouldn't the CEO's start by emptying their own bank accounts back into the company first? I just don't think it's right for the rest of us to take it in the ass while they still lead their wealthy lifestyles.

On a side note, this country is so fucked.

I think how AIG happened the dumbasses borrowed money from themselves. Fraud!!!

Maybe this is the shake up we need to get out the corruption. This is just way wrong now & the President jackass has been asleep at wheel for long long time. Thats another reason to change from republican to democrat until we have a better choice!!!!! I am off my soap box. wheww i feel better thanks

this is the main reason that they gave up the 85 billion. The effects of AIG folding would have been felt much farther than anyone expects. They insure half the world, houses...homes...business...etc.
As for CEO and exec. stafff, they have all been replaced and the government now controls 80 percent of the company. The structure That of course is only if they can turn the company around...big if.

BTW all stockholders are out of luck as well which means the hundreds of millions that the CEO used to be worth are just pieces of paper now.

Oops I meant to say that the structure of the deal could actually make money for the country...if they are able to turn the company around and make it profitable again.

Wow, wouldn't this be a great time to legalize weed? Whole new cash crop, entire new industry. It could do a lot to help. This country is going down hill so fast that it's actually making that whistling sound.

Exactly.

Remember these names: Senator Chris Dodd, Senator B. Obama, Senator Barney Frank, Senator Joe Biden. These are folks who received the largest amount of BRIBE money from the financial institutions as payment for blocking legislation that would have placed regulations on these investment houses to avoid this crash.

By the way ... in case you didn't notice, they are all Demobats, the very same people elected two years ago on the promise that they would clean up the corruption.

Med ... how's your union pension doing?

actually they all hold huge amounts of AIG stock and they lost millions, ofcoarse they are still rich tho


the reason for all this shit is clinton wanted to increase home ownership and boy he did

letting people who cant afford it buy a home, sound nice and caring doesnt it???


well guess what this is what happens

and now these fucks want us to bail them out?


this is the governments fault for irressonsibly encouraging home ownership

guess it looked good on clintons resume, cost us $85 Billion dollars


this shit has been in the making for 20 years
