Finance Talk
Posted by Frank J. at 12:04 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (23)

Since there isn't really that much either party knows to do to make sure the economy becomes stable, this contest is probably going to come down to which candidate can BS the best. What McCain really needs to do is just say right-sounding stuff and say it confidently so as to keep people from panicking. Some suggestions:

"We can shore up capital by mortgaging stocks."

"A strong fiscal finance is all that's needed to for profitable currency."

"We'll stabilize the economy by reversing the polarity of the tachyon particles."

"All we need to remember is hibbilty gibber flibble floo."

Well, that's all the economic advice I have. Can we talk about guns again?

That's because you're an engineer, Frank.

But I know a little about "hibbilty gibber flibble floo" because, besides engineering, I also have a business degree. So here goes.

"a bing bang ding dang wing ding sing sang
a bunga wonga dinga danga binga banga boo."

Frank, this is your best idea so far this week, this being Tuesday.

Obama's the better talker so win. I have no sympathy for the right wingers and GOP supporters because of the horrible things your party has done already to the United States. I hope your party shrivels and dies after losing this election. You can't stop progress you stupid backwards god-fearing bible-banging goat-loving monkeys. There will be gay marriage, abortions, euthanasia and invitro forever and ever and there's not a damn thing you luddites can do about it. You can't stop technology. Just want until technology allows two men to make love and create a baby and grow it in a lab. It's gonna happen and it's gonna be beautiful. Your evil obnoxious hate can't keep this from coming true.

Don't worry. As long as you hit that wire with the connecting hook at precisely 88mph the instant the lightning strikes the tower... everything will be fine and the economy will stabilize.

#4 - Posted by: G Fresh on September 23, 2008 01:16 PM

Y'know, a government with money is a little like the mule with a spinning wheel. No one knows how he got it and danged if he knows how to use it.

Hehe... mule.

#5 - Posted by: Corey on September 23, 2008 01:23 PM

Talking about guns would be fine. And going out and buying more would not only be the smart thing before the election, it'll do the economy some good, too.

#6 - Posted by: Peeps on September 23, 2008 01:28 PM

How about McCain jumpstarts the economy my giving us a stimulus check that can only be used for purchasing guns. You get an even bigger check if your city has lame anti-2nd amendment laws.

Fix crime and save the economy. McCain would come out better than Reagan.

#7 - Posted by: BigRichardSmall on September 23, 2008 01:30 PM

Yes, we can talk about guns again. Like Peeps said going out and buying more would not only be smart, it'd be good for the economy!

Off topic, but, Frank, how come Cadet Happy is posting at the new site and you're not?

#8 - Posted by: LearntoDrawaLine on September 23, 2008 01:34 PM

It would be better for most Americans if the majority of the big fat greedy investment banks went broke and those that were more frugal remained. There is enough smaller banks with money available to supply loans. It is true that some investors would lose their insurance and pensions. But that was their gamble they alone took. The rest of the taxpayers do not have to be burdened with their bad luck. The most important thing is not to let politicians waste the taxpayers money by handing out 700 billion dollars to banks that gambled big and lost big.

Here in Alaska we recived our Permanent Fund Dividends a couple fridays ago. I use my $3,269 to buy guns. A 12 gauge and an AR-15!!!

Ummm - I bet we could stop progress. We could let BarryO into the White House and, in 3 years, every woman would be wearing a burka, the men would all be renamed Mohammed, and everything would be taxed at the 120% level. If we let BarryO into the White House, poor people will be allowed to live to maturity rather than harvesting them for their organs like we should be doing.

If we let BarryO into the White House, girl scouts will be forced, FORCED, to sell cookies door to door to fund Hezbollah. If we let BarryO into the White House, Christians (as opposed to Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger) will be rounded up and put into camps.

So, yes, conservatives can stop progress by not opposing BarryO. In fact, we're the only thing that can, and will, stop BarryO.

Sheesh.

Take all the money used for Congressional salaries and the lazy-ass multi-generational breeders on welfare, and apply that to bail out Fannie/Freddie. Fair enough, seeing as how Obama and the Democrats blocking McCain's attempts at regulation three years ago is the reason we're in this mess now.

And if they refuse? That's where our new guns will come in handy.

#12 - Posted by: NunyaB on September 23, 2008 02:32 PM

Your guns will do you no good, you racist crackers, when My Civilian Defense Force rounds you up for medical experiments, forced labor, and extermination.

I like you, FatNinja. I will kill you last.

#13 - Posted by: Barack Obama on September 23, 2008 02:41 PM

The GOP got us into this mess (impossible to argue otherwise) and the next president (BO) will get us out. Whatever happens I have a great party to attend!

#14 - Posted by: Atom on September 23, 2008 04:08 PM

I wish to revise My remarks. Now that Atom has confirmed his/her/it-self as flamboyantly homosexual, I will kill him/her/it last because I do so enjoy the company of terrorists, racists, and deviants. FatNinja, I will kill you next-to-last.

#15 - Posted by: Barack Obama on September 23, 2008 05:24 PM

If Obama can promise people more jobs by taxing "the rich" then you can say anything to be a Politician. Mind you that argument is old and tired but hey it seems to work for the Dems.

#16 - Posted by: Mateo R on September 23, 2008 05:30 PM

Funny how programs like these bogus Fanny May and Freddie Mac are always put together by Dems...and Dem trolls brag about how great they are and how they help the "little guys" and how Republicans have nothing to do with them, right up until the point that they prove to be the corrupt failures we always said they'd be...then they try to blame us? What idiots.

#17 - Posted by: Son of Bob on September 23, 2008 05:49 PM

Funny how the Bush administration has been in power for eight years and put the economy in the crapper and stupid whiners like Son of Bob come up with a million excuses why it is someone elses fault. Bush overspent with a combination of war, tax cuts and enlarging the government and this is where we are. Bush just isn't a fiscal conservative. I'm not arguing an Obama administration will be but the Bush administration was clearly fiscally irresponsible. The Clintons did much better. Anyone who thinks Bush is fiscally responsible is an unpatriotic lying coward whiner in my opinion.

#18 - Posted by: Atom on September 23, 2008 05:57 PM

But then, I like to molest small boys (purely in a physical harm way, mind you, not sexual - you perverts!), so my opinions may be suspect due to my brain damage.

[If you're going to comment at IMAO, you can't molest small boys. Make sure they're husky, at least. -Ed.]

#19 - Posted by: Atom on September 23, 2008 06:27 PM

Ed.,

I didn't write that comment above. I don't want to molest small boys. Although whoever wrote that secretly on my behalf might want to since they wrote it.

#20 - Posted by: Atom on September 23, 2008 06:51 PM

When selfish politicians are done bailing out mismanaged big banks with 750 billion of taxpayers money the American public will wake up one morning and realize what has been done to them. They never will forgive those that voted yes on the biggest giveaway in American history. The problem could have been solved with an organized bankruptcy of the losers in their big game of chance. But it was more profitable to the financial portfolios of many congressmen to provide a handout to rich friends in the banking business. Lets hope that this bill is rejected by conscientious servers of the public interest
