Thanks Uncle

Well, thank goodness that our collective uncle is supporting the sky. The stock market really thinks that it is falling.

With OUR Uncle propping up those leaning sheds of financial instability, I figure our collective burden for those bad assests will reach the moon, (give or take a couple of yards).

I am NOT waiting to pay for the bad assets with my taxes. I am creating them. Best to be ahead of the curve, I say!

Skippy

Would you pay a bonus to keep a Waller?

So, would you, like some of the financially insolvent institutions, pay bonuses to keep these jokes? I mean, folks that are known as brokers.

Do I want these overpriced brokers somewhere else other than my firm?
Yes. Most of them lost money.

They can't fix my car. They can't write a computer program. They can't make dinner. And they certainly can't do orthopedic surgery.

They PUSH paper! You, I, just about anyone with an IQ can push Wall Street paper, for goodness sake.

That is my reality check. And I have made a lot of money doing very phony jobs.
I still have a phony job. I just don't make any money at it.

da' Skip'

Oh, the hypocrisy

I listened to our President berate Wall Street Bonuses. Which is fine. However, he keeps talking about self-restraint after pushing for a $800 billion bill, filled with "earmarks", that does NOT do what he promised to the United States citizens.

Another PHONEY hypocrite, Mr. President? I am sick of it from EVERYONE: Wall Street, Congress, the Presidents, etc. I was NOT raised to be like what Americans have become.

Grrr.
