A poet on Call - After the Bailout

Excellent!!! I love a good poem:

$700 billion is more than enough money to buy every able-bodied American a chain saw, a solar-powered generator and a stake in a communal well and windmill. Also, red dirt and plum trees. That would probably only cost about $100 billion, and you can use the other $600 billion to buy everybody their house outright.

  2. We are of course! It comes from our tax pockets, or; more likely from the money the government will make from selling any of the assets they are picking up in this nationalization. Only problem with that; the money would be managed by the government... inefficiency at it's best.
