What, President Obama will say nothing and ask George Bush to name some experts

How about we do nothing and let the monied interests risk their money making money?? Or is that too capitalist for an economic plan???

is guessin' wildly

McCain knows nothin' about th' economy.

Sadly, neither does Obama.

Tragically, neither does our current federal reserve chairman or treasury secretary, Dance the Hempen Jig

It is not th' Federal government's job t' avoid recession.

It is th' Federal government's job t' limit federal expenditures t' match federal income, keep interest rates an' dubloons supply fluid, with th' goal o' maintainin' a stable currency, ya bilge rat!  And swab the deck!   "Control th' coinage an' th' courts, let th' rabble have th' rest."

Um none o' those appear t' have more than one gear.

Half this award belongs t' a gay horse somewhere in ventura county!

I think he meant " "lol"?  Ahoy! " meanin', is Arnor right that Israeli currency is a joke?

If ye have th' pieces of eight t' worry about, buy a certificate o' deposit at a Swiss bank, I'll warrant ye.   Or just shove it into US real estate, that's gonna go up o'er 10 years fer sure.

We have a thin' called a Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  Yaaarrrrr!   The company stops doin' business an' cant be sued or seized.   A special federal court appoints an expert trustee t' take o'er th' company.   This trustee does an audit an' accounts t' th' court fer how he runs th' business.   Debts be paid fairly an' th' assets o' th' company be distributed t' pay debts.   Creditors be divided betwixt secured an' unsecured--did ye loan dubloons against equipment or did ye just have a bill, Hornswaggle  If th' creditors or shareholders object they can go right into court an' be heard within weeks.   Many companies SURVIVE chapter 11, it is a reorg bankruptcy an' very fair.

Instead stupid companies includin' banks be given gifts o' cash.   They may or may not have learned a lesson, by Davy Jones' locker.   They may or may not become solvent an' responsible.   The government may or may not be repaid.   Sharehodlers may or may not be ruined.   Dumb, by Blackbeard's sword!  Dumb!  Ahoy! If I were a stockholder I'd sue th' governments ass off.

We had alternatives an' th' capital is out thar.   "Loss of Confidence in the markets" is just th' refusal t' take advantage o' opportunites an' ye dern't get millions o' pieces of eight by avoidin' opportunities, I'll warrant ye.   30-90 days into th' recession global dubloons is goin' t' start takin' opportunities that failed banks would have snatched up.  Walk the plank!  Even better, it would be dozens o' investors an' lenders instead o' a few big firms.   

Our government has t' consider th' long-term interests o' th' USA instead o' profits in th' immediate future.   Our dollar has t' be solvent, Ya horn swogglin' scurvy cur!  If we have a recession an' th' dollar fails at th' same time, then we're in a Third World economy.

Now Capitol Hill wants a $25 billion bailout t' th' boat industry

Damn whats next revive TWA an' PanAm?

Didnt know they had $415 billion lyin' aroun'!

that's not nice pirate

should know pocket pool is american slang fer billy no mates

arrr  Warsaw Pact forces used 7.62mm x 39mm (bullet 7.62mm in diameter, shell case 39mm long.)  That's what th' AK-47 fired,  NATO used 7.62mm x 51mm (bullet 7.62mm in diameter, shell case 51mm long.)  NATO 7.62mm is still used in contraption guns an' NATO sniper rifles, USSR forces used 7.62x54mm fer sniper an' MGs, by Blackbeard's sword.

Americans have t' know these thin's so we can borrow ammo from our retreatin' allies

JK we need to know to stack the right ammo throughout the house

sees th' need fer harsh fmoddin' aroun' here
