Hell, I always wanted to own an insurance <BR/>company; But I never wanted to risk $6000. Now Paulson will override my <BR/>reticence and take it from me whether I like it or not. I hope we get the same deal Warren Buffet got, a guaranteed 10% per <BR/>month on his dough.<BR/><BR/>I can understand the CEO's balking at any give backs. At 70 million a year they <BR/>are only getting $35,000 an hour. That may be the price of loaf of bread next <BR/>week. I am glad I have a wheelbarrow.

Can I have $700 grand? I do...Forget $700 billion. Can I have $700 grand? I don't really need the money as a bail-out, per se. I don't carry any credit card debt. I don't have a mortgage--our family owns our land and our house. The most I've got is a few leftover student loans that are a drop in the bucket compared to most folks'. Still, I'd love to have that kind of money to buy a plot of land in full and build a modest house on it, to get myself a hybrid car, and to invest in my own small business--which *would* help to stimulate the economy. I mean, since the Government is so keen to give away cash...<BR/><BR/>Oh. That's right. If I'm an ordinary person suffering financial difficulties or even just looking for a handout, then I'm a "whiner", I'm lazy, I just need to "suck it up", or maybe get a second or a third job. Isn't that what key Republicans have been saying for a while now? <BR/><BR/>I guess the rules are different for rich moguls who take bad financial risks. I guess *they* don't have to suffer consequences for their poor stewardship and reckless behavior.<BR/><BR/>My mistake.R. S.
