Apparently, the gubmint would spend it all on bad debt and "toxic assets."

The government should should just take all the bad debt without paying for it.

If all this is is a handout for big business with no provisions for the average man on the street, I shall be fairly pissed.

It's not that much considering that the government spent approximately $200 billion this week alone on emergency loans and liquidity injections.

i'd probably buy a mountain in the middle of summer, cover it with cocaine, and snowboard down it.

I'd buy Sega and release Dreamcast 2 on 9/9/09.  The reactions on message boards alone would be worth the investment.

oh oh I know!

I would buy up junk loans from companies that were stupid enough to make them. Thereby artificially bouying a sinking market, and keeping the same people that were stupid enough to make these decisions in power so that instead of having a big crash that will eventually self correct over a few years now I'd create a Schaivo'd market that will have a much huger collapse that might take decades to self correct later and then I'll still be 700 billion in the hole!

Man, I gotta tell Washington about this.
