Czuch: In the words of John Lennon:

"you'd better recognise your brothers"

Jim Dandy: Does that mean that conservatives are the big government/bailout party now? Or that liberals are my brothers now because we all agrre that bailouts are wrong? Not quite sure?

Czuch: It means both parties are agreeing that help is needed in your government.

After all.... It's no good the whole USA economy going down the tubes.

(V): I dont see how throwing good money after bad is going to solve or help anything? This is a delay tactic at best, and these companies will end up going under down the road, and we will never see any of our money back! If it is really such a good idea to help these companies out, then there would be plenty of private firms eagerly jumping in to get it done!

At least tell it like it is.... it will be better for these companies to go out of business at some other time than while we are in a recession, and that may be true, but dont make it sound like it is some sort of loan and that it is a magic pill and these companies will get better and pay us back with interest!

Czuch: Maybe... maybe not. But if no help is given then they will probably go under. And that will affect millions of workers. And as for private firms... What money spare do they have at the mo? Everyone is um.. making a mess in their pants over the current situation and who's gonna fall.

Two companies over that have been part of british culture for years are about to go and close. One couldn't even get someone to buy it for £1, the only condition was to they were to responsible for the debts. And this a chain of nearly 1000 shops.. you might now them.... Woolworths.

Czuch: Nahhhh Can't hate Bush.. his policies yep. But especially after seeing the parody of him in a film recently... Let's just say it was funny.

Czuch: I think the banks should NOT have been bailed out...the auto industry,yep,loaned money is good.....I have head a TON of "conditions" with this money going to the auto industry..but honestly,when they gave the money to the banks....I didn't hear of any conditions.....where there any and I just missed them on the biased news that I watch??

Tuesday: right..which is why when they atarted doing that stuff with OUR money,they should have had the money taken right back from them.....WHY GIVE to them...why not lend to them as well?

Artful Dodger: ... National debt has been rising in your country for years.

And I thought the job of the government in the USA was to protect it's people from all enemies.. foriegn and internal/domestic.

A collapse of major industries in your country is not a good idea. It's not a case of can't compete.. the whole car industry is reporting significant downturns in sales.. some I hear over 30%

.. And please don't exaggerate.. Your gov ain't talking about bailing all out. Enough to make sure you have an economy that after this depression.. recession or whatever you call it is over.

... You don't want it like in the film "(V)" where America has gone to pot and collapsed into anarchy do you?

Artful Dodger: You might be on to something

Artful Dodger: Gee Art, did you think us *cough**cough* independents (as O'Reilly likes to call himself ) don't agree always with the Pres, even if he is a republican.....

.... And It's not George that's wanting this is it amongst your government.

Artful Dodger: Nahhh I was merely commentating on how O'Reilly a confirmed republican suddenly left the party to look good for TV.

I wouldn't compare myself to O'Reilly... He's not always truthful. And the rest..... Well.

Artful Dodger: thats because they get bonuses for making those loans and then they sell them off, a win-win for those banks
