No, the math was too hard. WSJ got dumbed down when Murdoch took over. The reporter couldn't figure what kind of discount the debt would trade at.

But if the government bails out Lehman...does that mean the Fed owes Chavez 300 Million bucks?

When your party and ideology is going down the tubes, it's time to get obsessed with South American populists, because. . . well, just because.

Eh, I'm having real trouble finding anything to laugh about as we dump $2 trillion on the taxpayer to save the pigmen...

Can we get a Chavez/Mugabe tag? They're like the Florida of the global community.

Awkwaaaaaaaaaaaard

Yes. Also Russia, and China. . .and a whole bunch of other countries that we've got free money from to pay for tax cuts and other irresponsibility.

Stop giving it to them!

Well, I mean we're not going to be communist like Russia/China/NK/Cuba, etc--but we are technically currently going into socialism (like Marx predicted..)

Communism: the elite few decide to push Socialism unto everyone
Socialism: capitalism fails and the government saves the jobs of everyone by absorbing that into the people

Great! Another Chavez-bashing thread.

Come on out you reluctant Bush-lovers, you! Let's hear about how BAD Chavez is, how he's the next CASTRO, how he's going to DESTROY VENEZUELA'S economy...

All while the neo-con President bails out his neo-liberal business buddies...that's OK.

Isn't 80% or more of their GDP based on oil production? I imagine that at the moment they aren't really going to miss such a small amount of cash too badly.

This makes Chavez look a little foolish.

However, it should make American ears burn... foreign investors worldwide bought up so much of the debt that we've accumulated through leveraging our homes, businesses, and possessions to buy shinier objects. They own these items, not the friendly folks down at 1st National S&L.
