@76 your argument would make sense if it were the debtors paying for the bailout

Why does Obama refuse to address head-on the questions of where this money is going to come from. In every single press conference he dodges those questions. This time he spoke to it by saying those making >$250k are going to have to pay "just a little bit more."
I'm not sure who on the "economic team" does his math for him but $7 trillion outlay, divided amongst the top 5% of the 140 million tax returns = $1 MILLION per household. Not exactly a sum I would make tiny hand gestures about.

"recoil in shock in horror"
Choose "in horror" EP, because the word "recoil" already has an element of shock in it.

Bair has shown some fucking common sense so now she is being alienated by Bald/Beard. She pointed out that the US govt is missing an "exit strategy" and apparently they didn't like that

CAN WE PLEASE GET A STORY on State street and Bank of NY? What happened to the great crisis coverage that DB had during sept/oct?! Where did it go??!
Remember all the rumors of these two players going bankrupt? Something has to be interesting about their precipitous drop in the market today.

Like 13 & 21 said..CC is forced to mark up all merch to full retail, since being taken over by a liquidation firm, the vendors are no longer honoring the discounts and chargebacks it normally gave to CC. then they mark it down from that price, in a systematic time-dependent way that is customary to the liquidation firm

Why is Erin Burnett not as smoking as sh used to be? Did she gain weight in the face, change her hair, change her makeup, lose her tan, something? I can't put my finger on it, but she's lost that "hot intern" look
