Default Your Liability for the Bailout

But here’s the punch line: The bailout will cost about $6,500 per U.S. family, a little over $2,000 per person.

This would increase the liability of the American taxpayer from 35K to 37K.

that's it? Only 2 EU2000i Honda generators per person, to cover the toxic debt of the greedy? That's cheap. Serve me up another!

I thought at least IPU would work himself into a lather about socialism. What is the cost of the bailout compared to universal health care? 700 Billion is a big number.

Yes! Now all I owe for my family's part of national debt is $150K. Awesome, I think I will just take out a second on my house to pay it off.

I'm pissed about bailing out private lenders. I don't believe it should happen. If a bank is dumb enough to lend money to those they shouldn't, they deserve to go under.

I'm more pissed that Obama's financial people are the douchebags that ran Fannie Mae into the ground. People want a guy for president that will take advice from those incompetent idiots? Brilliant.

The only solace I take is that I only have 2 more years left on my mortgage and my lender is still ok for now. If I have to tighten the belt and pay for the house quicker, I'm willing to do it.

And universal healthcare is still too expensive. Those for it are still welcome to pay my share as well as their own, but I guess because there are no takers, they don't really believe it shoudl happen.
