Meanwhile, a banker in the UK has committed suicide:

The last time the global economy plunged into a depression, many wiped-out banking executives took the plunge themselves-right out the windows of their Wall Street high rise towers.

Now it's happening again. As the stocks plummet week after week, and now less-wealthy executives ask the US Congress to jump with them over a 700 billion dollar cliff, word comes that a banker in England has jumped in front of a train!

New Zealand-born Mr Stephenson, who owned a £3.6million, five-storey house in Chelsea and a retreat in the West Country, was chief operating officer of Olivant Advisers.

Last year,these guys tried to buy a 15 per cent stake worth almost £1billion in a bank called Northern Rock before the bank was nationalised.

After eating breakfast on Thursday , Mr Stephenson drove to Taplow station, left his car in the lot and crossed a footbridge over the main First Great Western Plymouth to Paddington line. Out of view of passengers on the platform, he is then said by witnesses to have leapt in front of a high-speed train.

Why can't all the rest of those greedy pigs who want the Congress in the US to jump with them over that $700 billion cliff do things right?

They all enjoyed a huge party for themselves, making billions as home prices soared along with the value of their investments.

That' s right Mr Bush-and some of those adverse consequences included people getting evicted and becoming homeless! Why should Main Street have to hold Wall Street's hands as unlike Mr Stepenson they jump out the economicv window and try to take Main Street down with them?
If you're hearing this from Congreess, vote NO on the bailout!
