I would normally oppose putting political info in a gaming thread, but this is getting ridiculous.

This bailout of foreign banks is out of control.  Despite adding some carrots to the bill to entice people to buy off on it, they are still going to be dumping on us a load of crap from the entire world.  The wording of the bill makes it clear that any bad mortgage, anywhere, owned by anyone can be bought off.  Despite strong words, we have no recourse to get back our "investment" from companies that fail or lose value (ie. fail).  If these assets were going to make a return, then they would be purchased on the market.

What it really means is you're gonna have to cover a 25% increase in taxes and deal with the devaluation of the dollar as the Fed attempts to double the money supply.  Please contact your senators and tell them to tell foreign investors to get bent.
