From the WSJ, Nov 26, page A12, the sidebar entitled: "A long tab"
$350 bil TLGP Oct 14
$700 bil TARP Sept (no day given)
$1300 bil CPFF Oct 7
$540 bil MMIFF Oct 21
$200 bil TAbSLF Nov 25
$600 bil GSEPP Nov 25 (same day as line above)
----
$ 3.6 tril, or --what-- about $12,000 for every individual person in the
USA? Maybe three times that for every household?
How about why don't they just write stimulus checks to each person that
filed a tax return? Bet that would stimulate the economy! |

Wouldnt be a lot of use if the economy had tanked completely and we ended up with
another great depression or worse and say 40% of them had lost their jobs etc.
$12,000 per capita is as bad as everybody being out of work for 3
months or more. It taxes my imagination to suppose that something
worse was prevented. |

The "Rod Speed FAQ" (I didn't write it): read it below or at the URL for

After its recent emergence in the thread "How to calculate increase
of home wireless router range?", readers of this group may find
this useful. [based on a post in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage]
Who or What is Rod Speed?
Rod Speed is an entirely modern phenomenon. Essentially, Rod
Speed is an insecure and worthless individual who has discovered
he can enhance his own self-esteem in his own eyes by playing "the
big, hard man" on the InterNet.
Rod is believed to be from Australia.
Rod certainly posts a lot. Why is that?
It relates back to the point about boosting his own self esteem by
what amounts to effectively having a wank in public. Rod's
personality, as exemplified by his posts, means he is practically
unemployable which means he sits around at home all day festering
away and getting worse and worse. This means he posts more and
more try and boost the old failing self esteem. Being unemployed
also means he as a lot of time on his hands to post in he first
place.
But maybe Rod really is a very clever and knowledgable person?
Clever? His posts wouldn't support that theory. As far as being
knowledgable, well, Rod has posted to various aus newsgroups
including invest, comms, and politics. He has posted to all as a
self professed "expert" and flames any and all who disagree with
him. Logically, here's no way any single individual could be
more than a jack of all trades across such a wide spread of
subject matter.
But maybe Rod really is an expert in some areas?
Possibly. However, his "bedside manner" prevents him from being
taken seriously by most normal people. Also, he has damaged his
credibility in areas where he might know what he's on about by
shooting his self in the foot in areas where he does not. For
example, in the case of subject matter such as politics, even a
view held by Albert Einstein cannot be little more than an
opinion and to vociferously denigrate an opposing opinion is
simply small mindedness and bigotry, the kind of which Einstein
himself fought against his whole life.
What is Rod Speed's main modus operandi?
Simple! He shoots off a half brained opinion in response to any
other post and touts that opinion as fact. When challenged, he
responds with vociferous and rabid denigration. He has an
instantly recognisable set of schoolboy put downs limited pretty
much to the following: "Pathetic, Puerile, Little Boy, try
harder, trivial, more lies, gutless wonder, wanker, etc etc".
The fact that Rod has been unable to come up with any new insults
says a lot about his outlook and intelligence.
But why do so many people respond to Rod in turn?
It has to do with effrontery and a lack of logic. Most people
who post have some basis of reason for what they write and when
Rod retorts with his usual denigration and derision they respond
emotionally rather than logically. It's like a teacher in a
class room who has a misbehaving pupil. The teacher challenges
the pupil to explain himself and the student responds with "***
off, Big Nose!" Even thought the teacher has a fairly normal
proboscis, he gets a dent in his self-esteem and might resort to
an emotional repsonse like "yeah? well your *** wouldn't fill a
pop rivet, punk", which merely invites some oneupmanship from the
naughty pupil. Of course, the teacher should not have justified
the initial comment with a response, especially in front of the
class. The correct response was "please report to the
headmaster's office right NOW!"
What is a "RodBot"?
Some respondents in aus.invest built a "virtual Rod" which was
indiscernable from the "real" Rod. Net users could enter an
opinion or even a fact and the RoDBot would tell them they were
pathetic lying schoolboys who should be able to do better or some
equally pithy Rod Speedism.
Are you saying that Rod Speed is a Troll?
You got it!
What is the best way to handle Rod Speed?
KillFile!

Some psychotic fuckwit with pathetic drug crazed delusions about
being a dog, desperately cowering behind the entirely appropriate
Stray Dog <sdog2008@sdf.lonestar.org> desperately attempted to bullshit
its way out of its predicament and fooled absolutely no one at all, as always. |

$ 3.6 tril
Of which $700 bil are obligations of the taxpayers. All the rest are NEW
money created by the Fed and thrown at the "financial industry" in the
form of loans and possible purchases. All of these other than the $700B
are "open market ops". |

Nope, not when no one is presenting that bill right now.
