By the way, I wish all of you top-1-percenters good luck in the upcoming war between you and the rest of America. I think it will be a good, clean, fair fight where stolen wealth makes not a whit not.
It looks like you top-1-percenters will also have some help in the form of Alan from Fallbrook — he of the excellent balance-sheet reading skills. So tell us Alan, using your supersharp balance-sheet reading skills, where will the U.S. end up vis-a-vis the TARP? Up 10%? Down 35%? Will taxpayers lose it all? Will the government come up with some other feces-filled plan to bail out the TARP so that it looks like the TARP actually makes money in the end?
You top-1-percenters be sure to make good use of Alan during the battle. Of course, he will probably have his head so far up davelj’s ass that he can’t shoot straight, but you top-1-percenters should be used to that. Good luck, and God speed.
