statements which make you go hmmmmmmmmmmm !!

This is a classic statement by Shivanand Velmurugan
 
"When a government asks 99% of the population who own less than half of the country's wealth to bail out the 1% of the population who own 51% of the wealth the population has to decide whether it wants bankruptcy before revolution or revolution before bankruptcy. It really is that simple.""

Well, it's just the first thing that popped into my head as I watched the "bailout" proposals. Although, I must say that over time, as I ruminate more, I think that it is a required evil.

It is definitely something we will come to regret for the next 10 years, but I don't think there is a way around it. When the choice is between a bailout or depression, I'd choose the bailout

(I know I contradict myself. Imagine what life must be like for me :) )
