As a newspaper journalist, I love people like that and I will ride their dumbasses for all they are worth.
It should be noted, however, that I work at a small newspaper on a remote island in Alaska, so really, their asses aren't worth a whole lot.

The army, and it's hojillion bullets.
It would take a branch of the national military splitting off on its own to stage a coup. The american people are ultimately powerless in that regard. They could instill a "don't pay your taxes on time, you must eat a fetus" law tomorrow and people would whine and moan and then get out their fork and bib.
It's kind've sad.

Man abortion clinics would make hojillions, selling discarded fetuses.
Did we just solve the economy problems?

my dad was once interviewed about the incidence of mental illness among the homeless in the area for reasons that were unclear to him. so he just kind of made up a number and within a couple of days it was being touted as an official statistic. it makes me wonder how often that happens.
All the time. Way easier than checking facts.

part of me wants the people that bought another property with a dodgy mortgage in the hopes of getting rich quick to just take the fall and burn all the way to the relief office
another part of me kind of wishes this was china, so the higher ups in the banks and what have you could be declared enemies of the people or something and shot to death
Seriously, what the hell? How can anyone think this is the right thing to do?
but if congress or whatever slows down and actually looks at this stuff and you know argues over it and legislates, THEY ARE HURTING AMERICA
Have your accounts moved ASAP, to a much more stable conservative company
There's also a pretty steep penalty for moving it right now, as part of the whole IRA plan I have going.

t douglas: hah, that would make me seem more witty than I really am, but alas, It's actually true. Like I said though, very little money there.

PERS is where it's at.
Washington Mutual is no more. They were closed down by the government and sold to JPMorgan Chase in the largest bank failure in the U.S. ever.

And to be honest, the only reason I paid into that fund is because it was offered to me at the job I had. I knew I wouldn't be there forever, and saw it as a way to put away some extra savings.
Welcome to the club. Except I've already been fucked out of them. So call me when you arrive. I'll be waiting across from the Executive Office Building.
As terrible as these guys are, sadly they're kinda crucial to the US and World economies.
Though why we aren't taking all the money they received in bonuses (79 billion alone last year) and most of their assets and putting it towards solving this fucking disaster. That would prolly get rid of a good 300-400 billion right there.
not ignorant
just dumb
I bet you wish you were a bear now.
What are you smoking nowadays?
No, see, they actually had the right to take money from us then
