anyone else smell Bushit ?

The part of this that gets to me is that, while we are all hurting as a result of the mess, we are expected to foot the bill as taxpayers. All this so that the companies that have been taking advantage of ordinary working folks can get a break. The companies should come hat in hand to the taxpayers begging for a loan just like they expect us to do when we need one from them. Another example of the double standard politicains apply to their cronies.
