Well, Chicken Little screamed the sky is falling and a great many went running straight for cover and aren't coming out till they buy a $700 billion dollar umbrella. So instead of debating whether a bailout is a good thing are not, the debate has been "how soon, and with what small print". But almost no one is saying, "wait a second".
God, those poor congress folks are tired, too. You know they were up all night! Our national celebrities aren't supposed to have to work hard. This isn't fair to them, for sure. But I guess... staying up all night to score a 700 billion-dollar check is sort of good compensation for a long night's efforts. Still...sooo tired.
OK, I guess it's not fair to call us all suckers. Most citizens did not want this. By far, most citizens don't like this. Most citizens DO recognize a massive concern, but absolutely don't trust the mental midgets and self-serving deviants (who created this problem) to fix this problem.
I know I feel like a sucker. Not because I "voted" for this bailout, or anything like that. I feel like a sucker for letting myself believe for a moment, but there's even a handful of individuals in government trying at all to "represent" me.
But letting ourselves go along with the fastest possible effort to spend the hugest amount of money possible (and calling it a service to the people) - that doesn't make us the suckers. No, it's our KIDS who are the suckers. They're the ones who get to live in the toilet we've made out of our federal government; they're the ones who get to endure the inevitable corrections to the lies and distortions that we're doing so well at avoiding and obscuring.
I don't have kids. It's really not my problem. I'm just disgusted that others would treat their own children with such grotesque disregard.
But at least the Asian markets will be OK. And that's the main thing, right? I do want to make sure I understand our priorities here:
1. The Asian markets
2. Wall Street's perpetual success
3. The US citizens and their disposable opinions
Right...?
