The bad news: the British banks are in tough shape and need a bailout.

The good news: they aren’t counting on Congress to provide it.

    Funny cartoon, but Blair isn’t the prime minister anymore…. its some toss-pot named Gordon Brown.

    Bailout? This is nothing. The Endangered Billionaires Protection Act has big, long-term consequences.

    Starting in the 70s, the oil companies were pushed out of Iran, then Iraq. The big item on the Bush/Cheney agenda was to correct that situation. Basically we bought Iraq (500 billion down and 20 years to pay, not counting the blood) and hoped to use it as a base to intimidate Iran.

    The next group of endangered billionaires is the investment bankers, and once again the stampede is on. Colin Powell isn’t available for another UN presentation, but Bush’s new people have their talking points ready.

    Watch for a new set of check boxes on your 1040, allowing you to choose which bank gets your money.

    Its very interesting…
    If we figure that EVERY USA adult had $10,000 debt..(lets make this easy)
    $10,000×200,000,000 people
    $2,000,000,000,000…
    $2 trillion??

    I can make this Even more fun.
    FORGET the top 10% of the RICH FOLKS..
    $1,800,000,000,000…THATS even better.
    $1.8 trillion.
    NOW, do you know what would happen tho??
    Look back at the OLd gold mining days. MANY went out to the mines and built STORES and HOTELS, restaurants..and CHARGED 10 times the price.
    The local companies, will raise PRICEs to get your money.. MORE OVER PRICED GOODS.
