Thanks for that post, BigMac.
And Shack, I hope that you decide to stick around this thread. As a certified financial "Don't Know Squat"-ologist, I enjoy hearing the views of an "insider" (for lack of a better word).
Now, that doesn't mean you'll be right all the time (that'd be the way to bet, though), but at least we get some perspective from someone that's in the middle of the fray, so to speak.
Who the heck else am I going to ask my dumb questions to ?

In any case, whatever the actual allocation of the $27B was (which does seem like a lot, though), I doubt that it is enough to help much with the magnitude of our current economic woes. I'm not expecting much good news between now and the end of the year.bobman1235 wrote: »Right, what I"m saying is government funded foreign aid in 2007 was 27 billion dollars. Of course, that's what was classified as "foreign aid".
PRIVATELY (non-government) funded foreign aid was 250 billion.Alea jacta est! -

DON'T LEAVE SHACK!!!
This discussion & forum desparately NEEDS the knowledge the you actually KNOW! I'll take your real knowledge over any of these WOULD BE constitutional scholars any day of the week & twice on Sundays!
Tony, if today's generation has a 'it's all about ME attitude', then you need to blame the parents that raised them.
At the end of the day, it ALWAYS comes back to how good or how pooly people have been raised. And my generation and the ones that came after did a piss poor job of it! I don't know why but we did.No war...I'm done. Y'all can chew over all the misinformation the financial experts on the forum will tell you without me...Marantz AV-7705 PrePro, Classé 5 channel 200wpc Amp, Oppo 103 BluRay, Rotel RCD-1072 CDP, Sony XBR-49X800E TV, Polk S60 Main Speakers, Polk ES30 Center Channel, Polk S15 Surround Speakers SVS SB12-NSD x2 -

No disrespect intended here Cath but speak for yourself. My boys are model citizens at least the 25 year old is and the 11 year old is a good man in training. -
Then you are an exception and not the rule Joe & should be proud.
There aren't too many that know nowadays how to bring up a well mannered responsible kid.
But then since they themselves aren't, they wouldn't know how to raise one would they?
Are you coming to PF Joe? If so, I look forward to meeting you!Marantz AV-7705 PrePro, Classé 5 channel 200wpc Amp, Oppo 103 BluRay, Rotel RCD-1072 CDP, Sony XBR-49X800E TV, Polk S60 Main Speakers, Polk ES30 Center Channel, Polk S15 Surround Speakers SVS SB12-NSD x2 -

Of course I'll be there. It is only an hour and 15 minute ride. I've been looking forward to meeting you personally. I expect a big hug too.
Brett too even though he thinks I'm a Bible thumper.:D -

Shack, I apologize if I was a Tool, but I do stand by my statements.
What you want is impossible,not to mention unrealistic. That was the same attitude by Congress in 1930 that took a Great Crash and turned it into a Great Depression, which some say with well-researched reason, precipitated WWII.

HI, if it's not to much of an imposition, may I request that you also cop a feel, too ?
I mean that in a positive way.

Uh ... the previous request does not apply in all cases.Sal Palooza -
Coming from a pig like you I'm not surprised! However, I know Joe is a better man than you & also knows that I will be with my brother who WOULDN'T appreciate something like that taking place!

... back to the thread , the Dow closed up 11% yesterday,
dragging Euro and Asian markets to storng rises.
what triggered it? the Euro government's approved bail out program
exceeds one Trillion (not kidding) EURO, which is twice what the US spends.
Wow."If the global crisis continues, by the end of the year Only two Banks will be operational, the Blood Bank and the Sperm Bank. Then these 2 banks will merge and it will be called 'The Bloody **** Bank'" -
and now Japan's Nikkei surges 14% :cool:
