The coming financial crisis

[Butchers Bill]

Former Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain has agreed to resign from Bank of America.

In more interesting news, here's an article about what he spent on redesigning his office.

Thain came out today and said he would pay back BoA for all the renovations.  He's still a douche.

U.S. Companies Cut 519,895 Jobs Since Election

Gives a list of all the companies and how many jobs they've cut. The company I work for is on there. The company I'm going to is not.

I love how 335 million is embedded in the stimulus package to fight STD's.  Out of the 900 billion proposed I am willing to wager that 75% of it is pork.  The only way out of this is to slash the size of the government and lower taxes.  Obama is repeating the mistakes of FDR, and these mistakes will have a similar (i.e. no) effect on helping the economy.

Obama is repeating the mistakes of FDR, and will these mistakes have a similar (i.e. no) effect on helping the economy.

And like FDR, he will likely be remembered fondly despite it all.

The similarities are striking.  Two Democratic Presidents following two poor, unpopular Republican Presidents.  Economic turmoil following a time of relative prosperity.

Unless Obama turns out to be the anti-Christ, there is very little he can do to harm his re-election and legacy.  Yes, I am saying this a week or so into his first term.  There is such a mania surrounding this man, who has done nothing, that he can do almost anything he wants...which is frightening.

The whole situation is extremely scary. The "other shoe can drop" for anyone at any time.

being the first magic negro president gains you celebrity status first and foremost -- and as we all know celebrities can do no wrong in the publics eyes and are always slobbered over---unless youre a alcohol/drug addict or a horrendous parent

the only way things could wrong for him is if we go to another war...... or he is shot and killed

In.

We can keep the Obama lovefest/hatefest to the politics thread.  It would actually be refreshing in comparison to the Israel/Palestine garbage.


Let's talk about how phatty will help fight STD's by becoming whipped and no longer having ridiculous amounts of casual, unprotected sex with strangers.

Tough call.  Where would you post info on the stimulus?  The financial thread or the politics thread? 

Oh the decisions!

If Obama can't do something soon about this economy, then by this time next year I'll be putting my cave up for sale. For the last three months I've been steadily going in the hole. A few more months like this and I'll be paying penalties for early withdraw on CD's. I know it gets slow this time of year, but man, there is absolutly nothing out there. In the last three weeks I've had one re-roofing job that was a humoungus total of nine squares.  Thats 90 square ft., 27 bundles of shingles. It took two days, mainly because there was no sense in busting ass to use up all that work in just one day. I've been applying for hourly job positions everywere possible. There is a slim chance that I am lucky enough to be aquainted with someone in the know, and could aquire a union job working nights on chain grocery stores like Giant. I would ask all of you to pray to God I get this job, buuut...........I don't think so.
