                  They're are giving money to criminals like AIG. These idiots have been scamming and stealing money left and right. The US is handing out free money to these fuck ups and of course it's not going to work.

                  Recovery packages have never worked in the history of recovery packages. I think we would have been better off not bailing out anyone. Let the people running bad businesses go out of business. Look at Japan they had a bailout that failed. Look at the Great Depression that bailout was a huge failure. Why try something that has a 100% failure rate, makes no sense.

                  Obama is obviously not experienced listen to his speeches how many times does he stumble over his own words. We are FUCKED and I think we have decades of this shit and US will be a 3rd world country in a matter of months.

                      I find it VERY funny, that some of the people who were just saying a month ago everything is fine finally changing their tune. They were arrogant, saying it is time to BUY stocks, we are gonna get rich, when some were trying to tell them shit was going to get way worse.

                      Is this the end? Nope. Not by a long shot. I have been telling family members for over a year this was coming and like alot of people they just didn't see it. They sure the hell see it now, fat good it will do them now though.

                      If you are just now getting worried you are to late to the game and should have been paying more attention alot sooner than now.

                            Anyone with even a scrap of economic knowledge knows its going to get worse. The US is destined for almost a decade of recession or a depression once this big spendup is finished and the hundreds of projects need more cash injections ... just look at Japan in the early 90's ... they did the same thing and got smashed for it.
                            I don't know where you got your information from, but it is well known that the main reason why the Japanese took so long to recover is because they didn't act soon enough. Our economists knew that, and that's why most of them recommended this stimulus package. In fact, many say we should have even used more money than the $782 billion that they used. So we have done the right thing by acting very quickly here. That said, nothing is going to turn this around anytime soon. But preventing a decade long recession was key.

                              I think we just need to think positive and we shouldn't lose our hope.

                                I just don't understand why retailers, airlines, resturants and grocery stores ect.....don't lower the prices. Vegas is still charging the same amount for rooms. Valentines night the "better" holtels were still around 450-500 for that night.

                                It's so depressing, I just try to find thing's to do that don't cost alot of money.
                                Did you book directly with the hotel? Trump is charging $89/night even on the weekends. Additionally you get $50 for the spa. Hotels.com was charging $109/night for the same package.
