doen’s anyone in washington evaluate results? we gave 85b to AIG, they partied and asked for more. we gave it to them, they partied and are broke again. the banks in new york got 350b, and they bought other banks, paid bonus’s to themselves, and generally did nothing except take care of their short term wants. now the car companies, the news companies, the state governors, the … are all lining up to feed at the trough. meanwhile back at the ranch, businesses are shutting down left and right. my ups driver is worried he may be laid off because that business is so slow at christmes time that he fears january will see massive layoffs. not just in the car industry, but in all industries. and our congress is worried about smelly visitors.

No, not that one. As I mentioned, the phrase is too crude. Sorry I brought it up.

$10/gal for milk? It’s coming. Won’t even be able to afford beans and tortillas because the corn is needed for bio-fuels.

I am willing to wager that Washington collectively only has one set of gonads among all the government officials (unfortunately, both ‘nads belong to Hillary).

Will someone please publish the pictures of all the government representatives/officials/congress critters from the last decade and put them in a book. It needs to be titled, “Those Who Destroyed America”.

Isn’t it interesting that the government is bailing out industries who have made bad credit risk decisions on people who can’t pay their loans or obligations, yet they are asking us, the taxpayers, to take on / offer loans we can’t afford to pay either?

Is this the new definition of compound interest?

There is a witty come back to that but decorum prevents me from sharing it in mixed company.

Ford wants a $9 billion “stand-by-line-of-credit” that it promises it probably won’t use.

There is a witty come back to that but decorum prevents me from sharing it in mixed company.

Has the UAW stepped up to the plate yet? Have they promised not to bankrupt anymore of their victims? I doubt those thieves will give an inch. Neither should we. Let them all go under. Let the market work.

Is any one keeping track of who all has now demanded a bailout? I’ve frankly lost count. I can’t count high enough to add up the numbers.

Sad, sad day.

Whether it’s BushClaus or ObamaClaus, the real question is when is Joe Public going to be told that there is no Santa Claus bailing out anyone. The only solution is hard work, common sense, and self reliance. Government is not the solution, it’s taken the problem and made it bigger, so they’ll have an endless mess for us elves to try to clean up.

My dog said he’d watch over the roast and not eat it, too. Somehow, I wasn’t all that sure he could keep his promise.
