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.


I know exactly what you mean. Problem is its a double edged sword. Fight the bailouts and watch numerous companies fold. People lose jobs. They cant spend so even more people lose jobs. To me the biggest issue is that you just know that too much of the bailout money is going to end up going to corporations that will find a way to abuse the situation.
