So, the governmental bailout program failed. Inbetween all the polititions here calling each other names, they accused the American people for being idoits and stated we need to stop calling our congressmen.

Okay, maybe they didn't directly say it, but this is an honest to goodness chain of logic as to why cnbc thinks that the bailout needs to pass.

1) No bailout will cause more forclosures (...)
2) More forclosures will drive down the property values of neighborhoods (True. Houses are appraised at the value the average home of equal construction is sold in the neighborhood.)
3) The lower property values will lower the tax base of local governments (True. Taxes are based on the value of the properties.)
4) Lower taxs will require the government to raise taxes or cut services. (Also true.)

So, In conclusion, if the bailout doesn't pass, the americans will have higher taxes!

To see where the logic fails, I will pull another conclusion out of this...
If the taxes you pay lower, the government is going to have to raise your taxes!

Stupid Americans, You better stop calling your congressmen on this, OR ELSE YOUR TAXES WILL GO UP (after going down. Oops, don't look at this, it doesn't give the right point!)

But what do I know, I actually think a big, bad economic collapse is nessessary for America. Silly Boat. Go away!

Who builds boats out of Granite anyway? Honestly!

[iluogo]

however you title was a bit harsh, I totally agree with you.
Americans care more about if the decision is socialistic or capitalistic than if it is the right decision.
I'm glad I live in Europe!

I'm glad I live in nowhere! No one can trace me, hahahaha

[Lord Dullard]

I feel the same way. A good economic collapse.. maybe more.. might be good for America in the long-run. It would be horrible, sure. But the American people have lost their character and have become a bunch of fat, lazy, mindlessly religious and morally bankrupt idiots.

[IndonesiaWarMinister]

Ahem! American are not religious, but they just want the !!HEAVEN with virginz! w00t!!!

Damn Mormons.

Anyway, just be back to isolationist. You just don't know how many billion people will be saved if you didn't be the !!police!! of the $$world$$. It is belong to someone else. Also, stop giving help to the Jews, damnit. They are vampires! They leech you out of blood!! SOMEONE LISTEN TO ME!

Ahem! American are not religious, but they just want the !!HEAVEN with virginz! w00t!!!

Wouldn't that get a bit messy though? And if like... every American got 40 virgins then... where the hell would they come from?!

I always wondered if you got (40? 60? 90? 100?) women who are only virgins until you remedy that, or if the non-virgins keep getting switched out with fresh ones so that you always have (40? 60? 90? 100?) virgins on hand.

I tell you, in the following days, keep an eye on the asian market

I sure hope so, else I'd be done in 3 days

[Kogan Loloklam]

I wouldn't want a virgin anyway. Ever think there is a REASON that they are virgins?

I'm happy with just one that can meet all my needs over 40 that probably aren't worth going near anyway...

 I would imagine most mortals would be so sore after a few days(Or likely hours), they would wish for death.

 Man: Damnit, this isn't heaven, this hell!
 Virgin 23: Why, hello there...
 Man: No! Get away from me! Please, stop!

The terrorists that blow themselves up get their wish and go to a beautiful paradise full of 40 Virgins. Naturally, to keep their virginity the women aren't the ones that get violated. Those guys are getting just what they want, having at it with 40 virgins non-stop... Perhaps they should have defined their wish a little better.

ITT we bash America.

RE the event that sparked this discussion:  I may have mentioned it in another thread (I've certainly said so IRL), but one basic feature of (idealized) capitalism is that unhealthy businesses fail while healthy ones thrive.  When the federal government refuses to let the herd cull itself, it stresses the system.

I'm pretty ashamed to be American tbh

Jeremiah Wright was hitting the nail on the head, except for the AIDS thing.

[Kogan Loloklam]

I'm not ashamed to be an American. Americans have been telling our politicians that the whole bailout is complete crap for awhile now. I just found something here in this forum that speaks so eliquently of it

Stated very clearly, the American People are smart, it's the politicians I am ashamed of. They don't get the message we already gave them, and now they have their lapdogs trying to convince us to do the opposite of what we know is needed, and packaging it into a fear biscuit. (Your taxes are gonna go up!)

We elected them, because we can't elect our next door neighbor. Our next door neighbor is much more qualified, but never has a chance in the political system the way it is setup.
