Your satire of the week comes from my friends at The People’s Cube–who mercilessly skewer bailout mania. Read the whole thing. Here’s the accompanying Red Square photoshop:

    This “no one should be held responsible for their behavior and/or choices” routine is going to ruin our country.

    Yep. And while people keep voting for socialists like Hillbillary, Kennedy, Byrd, etc., this isn’t going to change.

    People love getting things for “FREE”!

    Free for whom?

    Unfortunately, they’re already here. We call them Democrats.

    If you think healthcare is expensive now, just wait until it’s free.

    I live in New Jersey for 50 years……..

    Can I get a “Bailout”? I’m drowning in a Liberal Sea of Taxes, Tolls and Fees.

    A radio station here in NYC constantly invites pimply-faced teens to “be the one hundredth caller” and the station will “pay your bills.”

    I imagine if this radio station offered to “bail out your sub-prime mortgage,” they’d be out of business before they could shut off the phones.

    The difference here is, “hand-out” politicians want to use our money for their handouts.

    The picture does tell it all. Wonder if the heat many of us are applying to our Congress critters is starting to get through. No rewards for irresponsible behavior. Besides I never gamble with my money just my life.

    Boomer, if we don’t bail out the homeowners who bought a home that they couldn’t afford what comes next?

    Do we stop paying for people to have children they can’t afford?

    shessh! what a hardass.

    It figures all the candidates would ignore my NFL playoff plight (3-5 against the spread, 3-5 on the over/unders).

    Semi-seriously, the Dems and Romney would prefer to deal with the health effects of making bad bets one can’t pay the vig on, with free knuckles and kneecaps for all.

    brooklyn red what do you expect of a retired Senior NCO. Best compliment I’ve received since some of my former troops told me I was a hardass, but I was also fair, lead by example, and made sure to recognize superior perfromance for only those that deserved it.

    Well Boomer, if you are retired then maybe you got time to run for office?

    The current crop does not impress me so much :)

    give it a thought…

    The federal government should just absorb all charities, nonprofit organizations, and insurance companies… i guess they may as well sieze all private property and businesses while they are at it.

    It already ruined our country. Happened while we were trying to show how “compassionate” we were. Don’t forget, it was all “for the children”!

    Excellent point!
    Starting at the top, Bush was raised in a lap of luxury and in real times, went AWOL on duty. from a president of this record, what can Americans expect, but to have their hard-earned tax dollars squanderd on anything that will buy these currupt politicians, votes. No wonder Bush gives “aid” to Saudi Arabia: http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/002547.php

    Aid? TO Saudi Arabia? Shaking head…

    But coming back to the point, corrupt and incompetent politicians are just too eager to use our money! Good Point!

    Awwwwwwww dang now! I know I ain’t the only hillbilly here. There have been a couple of us offering to cut the trees out from under the huggers. PLEASE do not equate us with this wo… (fe?)male… PLEEEEASE!

    As for bailing out, if the danged government would bail out of my life and my wallet that would suit me just fine!
