my initial thought upon hearing about Citibank’s potential bankrupcy was, Sweet! does this cancel out the small fortune’s worth of debt I have stored up on my trusty Citi-card?

[...] simply sitting on the money or using it to buy out their smaller in trouble competitors. The money isn’t doing what it was supposed to do. That alone pisses me [...]

Just looked at the INDU .. it was up 334 when “The One” took to the TV to introduce his economic team .. but only up 220 or so when he was done .. a 110 point loss on the effort.

Do you notice that no one on the Hill talks about Joe Smith in Podunkville that has been helped by this monster of a bailout bill? That is because Joe Smith in Podunkville is still on the hook for a house payment that has gone skyhigh because of local taxes. And while the Congress tells Joe Smith they feel his pain, not one of them have asked the state and local taxing entities to tighten their belts and not tax Joe out of his home. Instead, people like Granholm are in D.C. asking the nation (taxpayers) to bail out her failed state that is seeing an exodus of residents that now looks like a Dallas construction site. Seems the illegals are not the only ones going South.

Funny, we are not seeing much in the NYSlimes lately about the cost of the war, are we?

Paulson should have been fired. Hell, Joe the Plumber has a better working knowledge of a budget and how to pay down debt that our government seems to.

Today, the Washington Post is now saying that those fiscally responsible Democrats want another $700 BILLION for a “stimulus” package. Add to that the first $50 billion downpayment to the Big 3 and off we go.

If liberals are worried about our nation debt now, just wait a year. The only similarity to 1932 will be the length of time it takes us to bail out of this. And a Democratic run government that learned nothing.

Bandaids on gaping wounds.
