The "poor" get shafted every day, in fact, it is the way it always has been and always will be. It is just at times like this that it is more transparent than at other times.

$700+ billion bailout plan does exactly that. Giving power to the same people who shafted the Worker to begin with.

Me too...as I predicted a few months ago on these very pages; "Soon the US will be begging China for their old tyres, so that they can burn something to keep warm".

Bring it on.

Me three. 700 billion would pay off every mortgage in the entire US under 75K, so let's just give it to the people who OWE the mortgages--not the idiots who mucked it all up.

Well I'm not getting shafted. Then again I'm not poor any more.

Maybe the poor are always getting shafted is because once they stop getting shafted they're no longer poor.

i don't get why you are all so happy.

bailout or no bailout, people get scrwd. its a lose lose situation. instead of debating bailout, maybe you should think about chopping some of the heads responsible for this crapfest.

Congrats -- this is the first post of yours I agree with. Although I'm confused when you say: "America! Enjoy your poverty." I'm more of a Gang of Four guy myself: To Hell With Poverty!

oh hey, don't get all socialist on us here. People might accuse you of being a commie.

Pay off people's mortgage who are bankrupt and you'll have an outcry from the US citizens about unfairness that is louder than Krakotoa was!


If there is one thing Americans can't stand, it's somebody else getting something that they themselves can't have.

Why don't we ask the people who are still renters or who responsibly pay their mortgage every month on time what they think about paying off someone else's mortgage with their tax money?
