Black Monday or 9/15. Lehman Brothers… one of the five big investment banks was allowed to go into Chapter 11 bankruptcy when just recently Bear Stearns was bailed out as were Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac… Hmmm
The ad for careers at Lehman Brothers is still up… odd

At any rate, the Charlie Rose show led off with Lawrence Summers, former FED secretary and now a professor at Harvard. He looked kinda like a recent William Shatner and sounded kinda like Bill Gates. I was bored to tears and was glad this dude wasnt currently in charge of anything. Charlie looked equally bored.
Charlie also had on the worst blue pin striped suit ever.
The second half was finally the good interviews on what happened. Nouriel Roubini was very sharp albiet “right to the point” about how bad things are and that it’s about more bad investments that just home mortgages.

Sadly, if you made less than $3000 in 2007, you will NOT get a dime under the current Stimulus package. These people are too poor to spend this on necessities?
Unemployment benefits that ran out…will stay run out.
Looks like the current version will give a tax Rebate of taxes paid up to $600 for singles now…..but you wont even get stimulated til May or June.
$50 billion in incentives for businesses to buy new equipment… (No, …..you have to put the equipment in a business still located in the US…yeah)
I keep hoping that I misread something on this….
Now it has to go through the House and Senate… Perhaps, some help for those making less than $3000 or with their unemployment depleted…

Just a few words to to pay tribs to Paul Kangas in Miami and Susie Gharib in NewYork and Linda O’Bryon, senior vice president and general manager of NBR Enterprises/WPBT2 which produces NBR, for such a cool show that has been on PBS for many years. ‘ve learned so much watching this show and still enjoy it as I get a chance.
Note: Susie Gharib is a hottie.
And Paul’s iconic closing Paul… “wishing you the best of goodbyes…”
