Let's take it in the shorts! (aka Let's Give Wall Street One Trillion Tax Dollars)

So whatta ya know, duders and dudettes? How fucked is this? Wall street and the greed of the fatcats has nearly brought our economy to its fucking knees, and now we're being asked ("asked") to provide about one trillion dollars to bail out the cocksuckers that did this to us.

How fucking sweet is that shit?

So, like, apparently that whole housing bubble thing where people were all "HOLY SHIT FREE MONEY WOOOOOO!" turned out to be too good to be true. Fuckers started writing loans to people with no credit checks whatsoever. What's that mister gone bankrupt before and don't have even a damn W2 to show me? You want three quarters of a million bucks to buy a home? Can you sign your name? You can? Well hot damn here's some moolah.

And they kept doing this shit. Over and over. And big companies would buy up the loans in blocks and sell them to overseas groups, huge investors, whatever. And then whatta ya know, it couldn't sustain itself forever, so suddenly there's more money than I can fucking wrap my goddamn head around just suddenly like poof gone or whatever, and we the working stiffs get to fucking pay for it.

Ain't that some goddamn shit.

    I am not such as a dude who claims to know a lot about the economy but companies posting huge losses and raising prices to recoup while at the same time giving million of dollars worth of bonuses to themselves turns me the wrong way

    instead of spending the billions to bail out these fucking douche corporations

    let's spend HALF of the amount and give it to all the people to recoup the losses and let the big stupid bitch corporation flail and die

    and then imprison the people in charge, take their assets, and disperse them like sane people

    "Hey, America? Yeah uh we kinda fucked up there. Got a little out of hand. Sorry, our bad. Tell ya what, we're going to give back the 20 billion each we fucking snookered you for, reduce the penalties and unobfuscate these fucking mortgage contracts, then start building a fund to fucking pay back every last dime we stole while working out a way to cover the losses of all those stupid loans we wrote when we were all high and shit. Sorry about that, we got ya covered."
