With the passage by the House and the signing by President Bush of the $810 billion bailout bill, you are now (or soon will be) the proud owner of ... well, nobody seems to know what exactly. All you can be sure of is that it will be a bunch of stuff that nobody would buy with their own money.

Second: You can make a tax deductible contribution via VDARE by clicking here. (Paypal and credit cards accepted, including recurring "subscription" donations.) UPDATE: Don't try this at the moment.
Third: send money via the Paypal-like Google Wallet to my Gmail address (that's isteveslrATgmail.com -- replace the AT with a @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Here's the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: "You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don’t worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps." You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.
You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.
Or you can send money via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx, Discover) with the industry-standard 2.9% fee. (You don't need to put money into your Google Wallet Balance to do this.)
Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphone app (Android and iPhone -- the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).
Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google's free Gmail email service. Here's how to do it.
(Non-tax deductible.)
Fourth: if you have a Wells Fargo bank account, you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Wells Fargo SurePay. Just tell WF SurePay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Fifth: if you have a Chase bank account (or, theoretically,other bank accounts), you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Chase QuickPay (FAQ). Just tell Chase QuickPay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address (steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). If Chase asks for the name on my account, it's Steven Sailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.)

Well, it's better (and cheaper) than trying to own Iraq. --Scott
Maybe in future the state can make some money with it. But they will probably sell below value to their buddies in Wall St. once the worst is over. The worst thing about this crisis is the inbreeding between the FED, Wall st. and the government. Its like an incestious family.
You own stuff like this.
You are right, it is stuff nobody wants to buy with its money. But they may be wrong. There is a panic on the street and a run on the banks, investors are selling valuable shares for nothing in the stock exchange, people is in no mood to buy anything except gold. Once the panic recedes, as it always does, the stuff nobody wanted will be attractive once more. But then it will be owned by the State. I am more worried that the Government will end owning everything and everybody, like in Egypt under Joseph.
I want to thank the Democrats in Congress for making Iraq's fiscal drain seem not that bad.
I want to know who changed sides and at what price. Those Republicans that balked at $700b because it was socialistic were willing to vote for $810b for a price.
I want names, a tree and some rope for the scum.
Bush, Obama, Paulson, Bernanke, Franklin Raines, Barney Frank, all with degrees from Harvard. Keep up the great work, elites! Kick that hick Palin's ass!
The $700 Billion bailout reminds me of the fall of the Third Reich.
Hitler sat in his underground bunker giving orders to Armies that no longer existed while his country crumbled around him.
What makes Bush and Paulson think that they can sell $700 billion worth of bonds to finance the bailout? The interest rate they offer would need to be off the chart to attract that much money. As the world enters a depression $700 billion might not be available for any reasonable price.
Home prices will continue to drop causing more loans to go into foreclosure. What do they plan to do next year when another $1 or $2 trillion dollars worth of loans are underwater? Are the Feds going to buy those loans too? And with what money? Maybe they didn't notice that the USA is spent.
