so, for a simple calculation, we can see that [CREDIT CRUNCH + RECESSION] = BAILOUT; well, i guess i dont have to be an economist, at least a prominent economist in order to formulate such formula. another thing, the bailout system “may or may not require reimbursement”. which one carry more weight, ‘MAY’ or “MAY NOT”? i’m puzzled. after all, “we” as the general population, have to unite in order to bailout all these nasty and greedy businessmen through our tax money for our future which will be more or less similar to the previous one. i do hope that after this, business people will stop and slow down a little bit when it comes to the discussion on how to make profits over the general population. it seems like we are the savior of your greediness and not the other way round…what a pity…at least a shame…
