Try to digest this along with your lunch....

 

If welfare destroyed black America, how can welfare save Wall Street and fix America's economy? I thought we all agreed that welfare was terrible.

It isn't welfare on wall street. The from what I understand, the government will be buying assets at a lower price to stablize the market. Over time, these assets will appreciate which will be sold for a profit. That's called an investment.

Welfare gives taxpayer funds to people who refuse to provide for themselves and give nothing in return!

will you stop being so racist!

LOL

xoxoxo

I was just reading an article yesterday about how Live Aid, you remember, the charity to help out starving Etheopians, while necessary initially, has ended up being disasterous in the long run because the more the people were given, more was expected. The countries that benefited from Live Aid are green once again but they still look forward to the handouts, rather than concentrating on improving farming practices. Seems like the same sort of thing.

keep in mind that I didn't write and I am trying to decipher EXACTLY what it is saying....

not to quote the bible - (my fingers are burning just typing it)

Give a man fish and he eats for a day - teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime

If the assets were definitely going to appreciate and be sold at a profit, why wouldn't the private companies be hanging on to them?

The truth is some of these investments will be sold for a profit, but a large percentage will not - that's the whole reason Wall St wants to unload this garbage before it kills them. No one knows what kind of return we'll expect - conservative estimates I've read are 60 cents on the dollar. In other words, you and I are still out $280 billion. Even if the investments break even (really, really unlikely), we're losing anyway in the form of interest payments and opportunity cost.

Racist

not racist yr3 - i hate all colors and creeds - but i love myself

This isn't exactly welfare.

With an indept study of the financial foundations of both, the differences become clear.

God bless.
