How odd is it, that our Inflation Press will come to the rescue with $200 billion dollars in "loans" to be given to the multi billion dollar corporations. Their rational is to "save" these corporations from creating a chain reaction of collapse through our financial system.
These loans will come in the way of government money.
In return, the government will accept as collateral their worthless pile of financial crap that have become toilet paper.
These mortgage backed securities.
These subprime loans bundled into beautiful looking AAA grade securities.
You might as well just give them $200 billion dollars and say thank you for taking the tax payers money. Would you like some inflation with that?
I suppose, the government already gave the barely tax paying public $100 billion dollars in "tax rebates" to stimulate the economy and another $60 billion to other assorted business folk.
I suppose the really big money makers felt left out and went to Uncle George looking for their hand out.
I feel so left out in this orgy of free money. The money is raining down from all corners.
Since I'm the one paying taxes, I think I'm the biggest sucker of them all.
I suppose I should just take it like a man.
All Payn, no gain.
He'll I'm even looking at a 10% wack job in my payment rates come July 1st.
How screwed up is that?

Did you check out CrossFit yet? You need to see if your Acai holds up to the rigors of a real workout. Try "Diane" or "Linda" and then see how long it takes to recover.

I feel like we as doctors should simply decide what our services are worth and then refuse to work for less than that.
Unfortunately, everybody has to play in order to make that game work, and when everybody played in the past, they got hit with racketeering charges, because physicians aren't allowed to collectively bargain.
The securities must be (1) rated AAA and not on watch for downgrade, or (2) issued or guaranteed by Fannie or Freddie. In addition, the collateral must exceed the amount of the loan to protect the government against losses. I am not that worried about the quality of these securities.

I guess time will tell how secure this collateral really is.
