Consumer News: Mad About the Economy

Has all the money madness on Wall Street left you feeling a little mad, or a lot mad? 

Jeanne Moos is not gonna take it anymore.

DON'T JUST USE YOUR FINGERS TO COUNT YOUR LOSSES, IT'S TIME FOR THE FINGER POINTING. WHY LOOK AT YOUR 401 K STATEMENT AND SCREAM, WHEN WE CAN SCREAM AT EACH OTHER.

Look stop the BS. Stop the crap!!!!!!!!! 

Come on coward! What do you mean coward?! Coward! You blame everybody else! 

THE FINANCIAL MELTDOWN HAS EVERYONE FEELING LIKE THE GUY IN NETWORK.

I'm mad as hell. 

MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ARE ACTING MAD AS HELL AS THEY GRILL COMPANY EXECS.

I think you should be apologizing to the American people.  

It's so disgusting.

Clean up its own dirty cesspool.

MAKE THAT WHIRLPOOL.

AIG spent, listen to this, $23,000 at hotel spa.   

A WEEK AFTER AIG WAS BAILED OUT WITH 85 MILLION IN TAXPAPER MONEY, THE COMPANY SPENT 200,000 DOLLARS ON ROOMS AT A LUXURIOUS RESORT...THOUGH AIG SAYS IT WAS A RECOGNITION EVENT, BOOKED A YEAR AGO, FOR HIGH PERFORMING SALES AGENTS WHO WEREN'T EVEN AIG EMPLOYEES.

When it comes to pedicures, facials , manicures the American people are paying for that and very upset.  

REGULAR FOLKS WERE UPSET DOWN ON WALL STREET.

Who are you mad as hell at? Bush! 

GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD BE AGOG AT THE CARNIVAL ATMOSPHERE AS THE DOW PLUNGES.

You're all a bunch of whiners. go get a second job!

HE'S PLAYING TREASURY SECRETARY HANK PAULSON AS PART OF A PROTEST AGAINST THE BAILOUT AND THE COMPANIES BEING BAILED OUT.

I am mad as hell. 

How do you sleep at night? truth is, we know...on fine french linens, right?

Taxpayers are taking it up the bleeeeepp  

NO WONDER WASHINGTON'S FACE LOOKS LIKE THIS ON A JOKE DOLLAR CIRCULATING ON THE WEB. AND THEN THERE'S THE MORE SERIOUS ZERO DOLLAR BEING HANDED OUT BY ARTIST LAURA GILBERT.

Like I'm mad  I'm losing a lot of money but I don't know who to be mad at? oh I can tell you who to be mad at.

SHE BLAMES THE FINANCIAL WHIZZES WHO PEDDLED BAD MORTGAGES. AS FOR THE ZERO DOLLAR.

What are you going to do with that? frame it?

Same way I been framed

WE DECIDED TO TRY AND SPEND OURS.

Will you give me a soda for zero dollar? me?    

Hotdog for a zero dollar? (guy chortles) 

Hey I don't suppose you'd give us a fruitshake for a zero dollar would you?  

I would do it for you. would you? yea   

THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A BARGAIN AFTER LOSING THOUSANDS...A 3-BUCK RAZZLE DAZZLE FRUITSHAKE FOR A ZERO DOLLAR.

Here's your zero dollar. Thank you very much.
