It will be interesting to see exactly what emerges from the G-20 meeting this weekend. At first blush, their “five point rescue plan” looks like: “Throw money at the problem, throw more money at the problem, repeat, repeat, fire for effect.” The Mother of All Bailouts (MOAB) has grown to multinational and unconstrained proportions. The MOAB will be so gargantuan that it will destroy the US dollar as a currency unit. Get ready for mass inflation–at least here in the States, and possibly across the Atlantic, as well.

Yesterday, the dreaded TARP bill, H.R. 1424 (part of the Mother of All Bailouts (MOAB)), passed by a wide margin (263 to 171), in the US House of Representatives. The original bill was just three pages long, but the final version (see the full text PDF) was a whopping 451 pages. It was so stuffed with pork barrel legislation that was practically oozing grease. It disgusting to see so many legislators sign on to this $850 billion+ swindle. The few that voted for it were mostly from the far right and the far left. The passage of the TARP bill …

Courtesy of the liberal majority in The U.S Senate, the TARP Bill (which is supposedly limited to $700 billion USD) appears to be a fait accompli. (It now headed to the House of Representatives.) Both senators McCain and Obama voted for it. (So much for us making any meaningful “choice” in the upcoming presidential election.) Disregard all the headlines, folks. In my estimation, the all-fired hurry to enact the TARP bailout was driven by a.) the sudden huge jump in the LIBOR rate, and b.) the chaos that is quietly is going on in the background with derivatives.
