捆绑，是资本讹诈和帝国侵略的本质手段

捆绑，是华尔街大鳄们通过资本进行讹诈巧取豪夺的本质手段，他们靠这东西到处敛财并且要挟了全球金融和经济市场；
捆绑，是微软帝国侵略市场打败对手的本质手段，他靠这东西销售自己和逐步垄断了全球软件市场；
捆绑，是美大帝国侵略别国干预他人的本质手段，他靠这种捆绑和恐吓手段占领他国领土和控制全球军事经济；
捆绑，当然也是这次美国通过新版7000亿（7000亿+1450亿）疏困议案的不二手段。

当华尔街风光的时候，他们推销每一样金融产品，都不是一件一件的单一推销，而是把一个被捆绑了若干衍生债券的复合品，推销给大家。没人搞得懂那到底是什么东西。以此暗藏着1：10，1：20，1：30的巨大风险，只有他知天知。所有购买者，不仅资本被捆绑上了，连他自身也都糊里糊涂地被捆绑上了。全球各国金融界的炒手，不仅和华尔街有着千丝万缕的关联，而且几乎都是华尔街金融体系衍生出来的一类打手，甚至很多都是华尔街模子倒出来的弟子。要么，全球几乎所有有着充足外汇的国家，怎么就都被华尔街给捆绑住了。

当微软占领了OS这片高地之后，他几乎就没再单独推销过一样产品。即使有，可说也基本没成功过。后来，它采用了捆绑策略，逼着用户就范、逼着对手出局，一步一步地走向了他的软件垄断帝国。先是用它的DOS捆绑它的Windows,击败了Encarta, Apple, 和IBM的OS/2，建立了WINDOWS垄断平台。然后靠买来的WORD，捆绑上靠买来的EXCEL和powerpoint打败Wordperfect和Lotus。再是，又靠Windows + Worksgroup的捆绑一网打尽除Nowell之外的其他所有的小型Network OS公司。再是，把Windows + Worksgroup发展成Windows Server的捆绑复合品打败了Nowell。到了互联网时代，它靠Windows + Explorer打败NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR, 一统了BROWSER的天下。又用Office + Outlook的捆绑，逐步占据了AOL和Yahoo的地盘；再用免费的MSN空间打败QQ ..... 现在，微软和GOOGLE的交锋之所以没结果，就是因为微软还没有找到一个可以捆绑的东西致对手于死地。他一味要高价收购Yahoo的目的就在希望捆绑Yahoo的搜索，就是希望利用“底价”广告的捆绑，让Google无招架之力。只是Yahoo的怪人没有领会了盖子的一贯用意。

当美国要打伊拉克，教训不听话的萨达姆以达到控制中东石油的时候，它挂上了“反控”的羊头，把911刚激发的美国雄性给绑架了。利用“反控”的大旗，要挟了反对的声浪。当美国为了要中国的市场，它把进入WTO和中国的工业开放（汽车、电子等等）、农产品的开放、金融银行业的开放，统统归成为一篮子计划，强逼中国就范。当他的全球经济份额下降的时候，避着中国的货币升值，尤其在中美贸易巨大逆差的时候，逼着多余的顺差买了美国5000亿的国债和3500亿华尔街衍生的股票债券。（数据见上周的《时代》周刊：“华尔街如何出卖了美国”那一期）。

当华尔街金融泡沫吹破的时候，垄断全球金融市场的所谓华尔街精英们，虽说个个财大气组自命不凡，但面对自己刮出的金融海啸，不仅填不上自己捅的大窟窿，也救不了深陷漩涡的自己。他们不得不把美国全民的利益给绑架上。从次贷滚到雷曼美林，可说华尔街没有一片净土，到处是用全球血汗钱堆成的血迹斑斑的残根余孽。全美国的金融体系被他们绑架了，美国政府被他们绑架了，全球的经济被他们绑架了，全美国的老百姓被他们绑架了。

当华尔街金融海啸把美国的金融体系和经济打得凌乱不堪的的时候，被绑架了的美国政府不得不打破自由经济的市场规律，不得不出重手相救。以保尔森为首的华尔街在政府的代言人，不得不拿纳税人的保命钱下血本填进不知底线的深渊中去。本来就不懂金融的布什被华尔街派绑架着一路引向拿钱救华尔街无赖者的命。先是850亿出手救AIG，明面上是救存款房贷的保险，其实是有华尔街的老底 --- 不能退路都没了。再是狮子大开口拿7000亿救华尔街所有的投资公司--- 不让沽空799支金融股票的开天荒之举措，就说明了这一点。结果7000亿的提案，不是一向左派的民主党不合作，而是一向极右的共和党接受不了这种“赢钱自己拿，输钱大家赔”的市场干预方针。结果7000亿的提案，是共和党制肘而不得通过。搞惯了捆绑的老美帝国，拿手好戏就是捆绑小恩小惠：7000亿加上存款赔偿上限10万变成25万，加上各种公司/中产阶级的另类税收减缩达1450亿，三管齐下，绑成一个议案，强行在众院通过。看明白了，存款赔偿上限变成25万，公司/中产阶级的另类税收减缩1450亿，对全国的大多数老百姓根本毫无益处，谁家能在每个不同的银行都有多达10万的存款？即使对中产阶级和中小公司，1450亿平均到你的头上不到1000元。 --- 就这样，议员被绑架了，打捆的议案被通过了，美国经济从此被绑上了谁也跑不掉的沉重的包袱。

捆绑，是资本主义算计生产者的一向手段，是帝国主义略夺全球资源的一向手段，是强权者干预他人的一向手段，是失败者临死拖人下水的一向手段。面对美国经济的千疮百孔，用布什赤裸裸的讲话作后话：美国经济还是世界的领导者！ ---- 因为它已经绑架了世界上所有的金融大国，制肘了各家的存款，拿住了你手里头巨额的债券 -- 那是你的国民的血汗钱，也是你赖于发展的本钱。你被他美国绑架了，在未来十年，你被美国拖着走，这就是他布什为首的美国霸权者才敢大言不馋地说自己仍是世界经济老大的本质所在。

捆绑，是资本进一步发展的不二法宝。在未来的每一步，美国还会用捆绑手段讹诈世界。中国，应当学会对美国的要求实施捆绑而得到讨价的目的。

Now the Bailout is the LAW。

Many questions remain

Even though the financial rescue plan has been signed into law, there are still a lot of unanswered questions regarding how some key provisions will work. For instance, just how will Treasury structure the pricing and purchase of the troubled assets, which are troubled precisely because they're difficult-to-value? For one thing, Treasury will be buying a variety of asset types backed by mortgages and loans of hard-to-verify credit quality. And financial institutions are not all in the same pickle - they each have their own combination of problems.
"The challenges our institutions face are just as varied - from holding illiquid mortgage backed securities, to illiquid whole loans, to raising needed capital, to simply facing a crisis of confidence," Paulson said after the House vote.

How much will the investment managers that Paulson will hire to run the asset purchase program be paid? What will the hiring guidelines be to prevent conflicts of interest?

One thing seems certain: Treasury staff are likely to be working more nights and weekends in the next month trying to figure it all out.

捆绑的疏困101议案，到底说了些什么
Bailout 101: What new law says   ( CNN MONEY NEWS)

After two tumultuous weeks of moral and fiscal debate, Congress and the Bush administration on Friday finally put a capstone on the $700 billion bailout of the financial system.

Bush signed the bill less than two hours after the plan, which had been amended and passed by the Senate on Wednesday, was approved by the House.

The changes the Senate made include the addition of a host of tax break extensions and some new provisions intended to help individuals and businesses.

Here's a breakdown of some of the economic rescue plan's main provisions:

Attacking credit crisis: The core of the plan the House voted on is the same as what it rejected on Monday: the Treasury's proposal to let financial institutions sell to the government their troubled assets, mostly mortgage-related. It will allow the Treasury access to the $700 billion in stages, with $250 billion being made available immediately.

Protecting taxpayers: The final law is also similar to the original House bill in that it includes a number of provisions that supporters say will protect taxpayers. One will direct the president to propose a bill requiring the financial industry to reimburse taxpayers for any net losses from the program after five years. And the Treasury will be allowed to take ownership stakes in participating companies.

In addition, over time, supporters say, taxpayers are likely to make back much if not all of the money the Treasury uses because it will be investing in assets with underlying value.

The law includes a stipulation that the Treasury set up an insurance program - to be funded with risk-based premiums paid by the industry - to guarantee companies' troubled assets, including mortgage-backed securities, purchased before March 14, 2008.

Curbing executive pay: The law will place curbs on executive pay for companies selling assets or buying insurance from Uncle Sam. For example, any bonus or incentive paid to a senior executive officer for targets met will have to be repaid if it's later proven that earnings or profit statements were inaccurate.

Oversight: The rescue plan will set up two oversight committees.

A Financial Stability Board will include the Federal Reserve chairman, the Securities and Exchange Commission chairman, the Federal Home Finance Agency director, the Housing and Urban Development secretary and the Treasury secretary.

A congressional oversight panel, to which the Financial Stability Board will report, will have five members appointed by House and Senate leadership from both parties.

Tax breaks: The Senate-version of the bill that the House passed on Friday included three key tax elements designed to attract House Republican votes.

It extends a number of renewable energy tax breaks for individuals and businesses, including a deduction for the purchase of solar panels.

The law also continues a host of other expiring tax breaks. Among them: the research and development credit for businesses and the credit that allows individuals to deduct state and local sales taxes on their federal returns.

In addition, the law includes relief for another year from the Alternative Minimum Tax, without which millions of Americans would have to pay the so-called "income tax for the wealthy."

New accounting rules: The bailout plan underlines the Securities and Exchange Commission's power to change accounting rules on how banks and Wall Street firms value securities, and directs the agency to study the issue.

Some observers argue that tight accounting rules are a major reason for the credit crisis in the first place. Others contend that changing the so-called mark-to-market rules will just bury problems lurking beneath the surface and could further shake investor confidence in the already battered financial sector. (More about the rules.)

Shielding bank deposits: The law temporarily raises the FDIC insurance cap to $250,000 from $100,000. It allows the FDIC to borrow from the Treasury to cover any losses that might occur as a result of the higher insurance limit.

Federal bank regulators, who first floated the idea to Congress late Tuesday, said that bumping up the insurance limits will help improve liquidity at banks across the country. It may also provide a much-needed dose of confidence for consumers who may be worried about the health of their bank. (More about FDIC rules.)

The plan will also temporarily increase the level of federal insurance for credit union savings to $250,000.

Mitigating foreclosures: The new law calls on federal agencies to encourage loan servicers to modify mortgages by a number of means - including reducing the principal or interest rate. It also extends a temporary provision that exempts from federal income tax any debt forgiven by a bank to a borrower in a foreclosure.

Cost: The law's tax provisions - the bulk of which come from the addition of tax breaks from other legislation - may reduce federal tax revenue by $110 billion over 10 years, according to estimates from the Joint Committee on Taxation. More than half of that is due to the one-year extension of AMT relief.

The Congressional Budget Office said it cannot estimate the net budget effects of the troubled asset program because of the many unknowns about that piece of the bill. However, the agency noted in a letter to lawmakers on Wednesday, it expects the program "would entail some net budget cost" but that it would be "substantially smaller than $700 billion."

Overall, the CBO said, "the bill as a whole would increase the budget deficit over the next decade."
