Bailout (politics)
A guy walks into a party, and asks a woman "Would you have sex with me for a
million dollars?" She says sure. And of course he doesn't have a million dollars. But the decision is made, they are going to get it on. Now, it's just about deciding how much is the price. I have that sense with the bailout for Freddy and Fannie. My sense is the bailout is a done deal. The question is only the details. What's the end result? The Fed, with all the power of the government, will take large ammounts of my money, and give it to someone else. It's not roads, bridges, or even pork barrel construction projects. Just a big transfer of money. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. |

Glad I am not a yank getting screwed over so royally by your own government!! Oh, but you are at least somewhat affected by good Brit? friend. Since prices paid to finance commercial or retail "paper" are most often traded internationally rather than limited strictly to the country(s) requiring it, and since the economies of all the world's countries no matter the government types are more and more intertwined, what any one does, e.g., this week's efforts to get the market for mortage securities back running again likely does affect your ability to borrow by altering the cost and availability of funds as the bucks/pounds flow to the highest bidder. This is not at all to say that I either approve or disapprove what my government appears to be doing, just that you aren't home free quite yet. Oh, and it is spelled "Yank". And, I believe you can probably tell us some juicy tales of when either Labour or Conservatives have, well, screwed over you folks.

But you sell us Triton tools (as Sears Craftsman in addition to under the Triton name) and Holden Commodores (as Pontiac G8s) and you used to sell us lumber (two years ago jarrah and blue gum and silky oak were easy to find in the US, now it's difficult and what there is costs three times what it used to). If we can't afford those anymore then it's not going to kill you but there's going to be some effect. -- -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |
