Market and Economic and Political Wisdom from Today's New York Post Comic Pages

I don't think the question of are we really stupid enough to bailout lost causes. I do believe it is a question of how much can the cronnies in DC give to failed backers. oil for example http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/international/iealf/crudeoilreserves.xls 1980 644+ billion barrels of oil known to be in the fields accross the world. 2008 1,331+ billion barrels of oil known to be in the fields accross the world. in the 28 years the government has been tracking this it has never gone down. NEVER. Even with all that is used we still manage to find more then we use. WHY THE HELL WAS OIL SELLING AT ALMOST $150.00 A BARREL WHEN SUPPLY HAS RAISED FOR 28 YEARS STRAIGHT WORLD WIDE EVEN WITH ALL WE USE? WHY DID CONGRESS GO AGAINST ALL OF US WHO SAID NO? WHY DOES DIESEL SELL FOR MORE WHEN IT IS CHEAPER TO PROCCESS THEN GAS? WHY DOES GOVERNMENT KEEP GIVING MONEY TO BANKS AND COMPANIES THAT ARE FAILING? WHY IS NO ONE ASKING THESE QUESTIONS ON THE AIR? WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE MONEY MADE FROM $150.00 PER BARREL OIL? WHO AND WHAT CAUSED OIL TO GO TO ALMOST $150.00 PER BARREL? If you really start digging into some of these questions you may be highly surprised. Also you may get highly ticked off. On that note I have one more for you to dig into if you dare. WHAT ITEM HAS INCREASED IN SALES 900% IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS?

"Bank of America is creating the preeminent wealth-management organization in the marketplace, providing highly tailored, world-class wealth- and investment-management advisory services and solutions." Bank of America quadrupled its budget for advertising to minority consumeres. A major ad campaign built around the slogan “Creemos en ti,” Spanish for “We believe in you,” has also launched. BofA’s new programs, however, represent the clearest commitment yet by the country’s largest retail bank to serve Mexican immigrants, who wire more than $9 billion a year home and typically have to pay 20% of the wired amount in fees to do so. BofA branches, always open accounts for Mexicans with consular cards, who must show a second ID–a utility bill, for example–but not immigration papers. “We don’t ask any of our customers to demonstrate their legal status.” It is the creating of preeminent wealth-management organizations and has nothing to do with legal status. The major ad campaign slogan should of read "Deshonra Nuestra Familia."
