When bailout is finalized

[glovesetc]

what is the betting line on the market going up or down ?Is it already in the market ? Everyone knows it is coming and I think alot of it is in the market already perhaps . I am also wondering when the world banks are going to start examining their loans and non-performing assets as well and take the hit on them ? The USA banks are not the only ones with these kinds of junk on their books .it will be very interesting !!!!!!!

I would imagine that it is an even worse situation outside the US where graft and corruption are a way of life.

As did mine. They had it rough. Back then, about the only luxury you might have was a radio. Long after the depression, I remember us having a 1934 Packard (I think) in 1945 or 6. It had a flat tar-paper roof, and you had to park it on a hill to get it started. I remember Dad saying that it was better than the cars you had to hand crank. lol We did have an automatic washing machine, too. It had a wringer that you has to crank clothes through. lol And even though it was an automatic washer, you still had to use a washboard on difficult stains. lol People today can't imagine.

And without a car and a credit card they might actually persue the charges buddy !!!! I was brought up in poverty- I just did not know it - lol !!!!I am set for life so I did alright in my opinion .:cool2 :

I never realized it either. The first time I ever ate at a restaurant I was about 12. I didn't know what filet mignon was. For steak we mainly had round steak that Mom pounded out with a hammer or something to make it tender. I thought it was great.

I like it when they start talking about how poor and deprived they were. One guy says, "I was so poor, I didn't even have shoes." The other guy looks at him in astonishment. "You had feet!??" lol

I think it's an old Chinese Proverb that says:

"I was sad because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet."

The American addition is:

"So I said: 'Got any shoes you're not using?' "

And if they do sue, you can stick them with the bill... ultimately by passing the bailout... so to speak.
