Look At Me – I’m A Bank

It is not the purpose of this blog to simply repeat the news but the latest updates from the world of “bailouts” is just too much to let pass.

It seems the original “plan” rushed through Congress over the objections of almost every American citizen, is not being “re-thought” by the Emperor of the Treasury, Hank the Bank Paulson.

To review: the original “plan” (read “load of crap”) was that the $700B, more or much more, would be “invested” in troubled paper with the expectation the taxpayers might one day get part or all of it back.  As noted, while the American people did not agree, our “representatives” in Congress bought it hook, line and sinker.  (Could they have been in a rush to repeat the periodic lies they use to get re-elected, over and over, no matter how sorry their job performance?  But, I digress…)

Well, now Hank the Bank has decided that buying that worthless paper was not such a good idea after all so, what the heck, lets just throw the money at anything that claims to be a bank and hope for the best.  Note further that he did not even bother to feed Congress a new set of lies.

Friends, we are talking about a starting figure of $700 BILLION, with the final figure not yet to be known.  Now tell me this: How many of you would just sit there doing nothing while a common thief stole a mere $700 from you?  Right.  Then why do we just sit here while these uncommon thieves steal our birthright?

At least, get mad.  Get really mad.  Whoops – you probably just recently helped send your thief back to the bank didn’t you?  Well, that’ll teach ‘em.
