Looking for your money? It's in Dubai!
Has your stock portfolio lost value? Has your home equity decreased? Can't get a student loan?

Where's the money? How about here:




No wonder Haliburton moved its headquarters to Dubai...

1. And when your Economic Stimulus check arrives,
thank DUBAI! 'Cause that's where the USA borrowed the money!

2. They are building the world's tallest building there too I believe.
They earn that money one barrel at a time.

18. And they only killed HOW MANY Americans because they were protected on BCCI matters
throughout the 90s?

The whole pack of BCCI thugs should have been jailed by 1994.

16. I actually have a hand drawn black and white version of it hanging in my office
I drew it myself maybe twenty or twenty five years ago with a Flair pen. Its all yellowed and fragile, but well protected in its frame.

4. And China


I could get a picture like this of India too. All the tax cuts to help the "economy", all that money went overseas.

5. Oh, look. Sea level.
Not a lot of deep believers in global warming there, I'm guessing.

17. Funny thing is
You don't have a dime, your money doesn't belong to you, we're born into a game already in progress, I suppose realizing this would place a player at an advantage imo.

19. Kind of puts the election into a different perspective...
What will there be left to be president of? (sorry for the bad grammar :-| )


The joke will be on the Republicans who backed this group of thieves. The they just get to watch them head for Dubai and Paraguay. Just like a carnival skipping town after a big weekend.
