Curiously, the next day, the news reported that they had no interest in Morgan Stanley after all. What happened? The government probably stepped in. A few days later, the bailout proposal was announced - $700 billion gives them enough to outbid any foreign financial institution. So I think it's not just about saving the economy, but saving ourselves from becoming a minority shareholder in our own economy. Either way, Wall Street really screwed us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747794915486240889.post-54120140183726302092008-09-18T18:50:00.000-07:002008-09-18T18:50:00.000-07:00Well, if you insist, but you have to promise to ge...Well, if you insist, but you have to promise to get me out of debt since you're making all that money.
