Bailout Bingo

So when is the bailout coming for graphic artists?

I mean what would this country do without junk mail and amusing web sites?

LOL

Personally I think the U.S. auto industry dug their own hole, and they can find their own way out as far as I'm concerned. The "big three" have sat around and watched the Japanese lead the way in quality and innovation at lower costs. And the unions bullied the automakers into offering uneducated, unskilled workers $27 per hour.

Toyota now has three plants in the U.S. They don't seem to be having troubles operating in our country. So what's wrong with our homegrown automakers?

On the news this morning was a state bailout for Boscov's who is $200 million in debt. The state is proposing giving Boscov's $25 million.

How do you get to be $200 million in debt? Isn't anyone paying attention? I guess not.

Where do I get in line? C'mon we need to save all those catalogs that litter our mailboxes at this time of year!

Forget these inept big companies that can't balance their own books. The middle class is the backbone of this country. Let the big corporations run themselves into the ground and lets get back to the village concept.

Believe it or not, Prince Charles of England agrees with me. He believes that we should get back to self-sustaining villages. To prove his concept he has created a village in the countryside of England. He created it from nothing. It's thriving. It's working. It's doing well. Almost everything the villagers need are produced within the village and it's surrounds.

President Bush does not believe in government assistance, not at all. But when it comes to his corrupt cronies, well then it's a different story. He has no sympathy for the hard-working middle class. But for all those poor billionaires out there, hey let's help them out.

Trickle down economics is a joke. Give the money to the ultra-rich, to the big corporations, and they'll spread the money around. Yeah, right, just like AIG they'll spend it on corporate meetings at posh resorts.

Are the bailouts working? Doesn't seem like it. The markets continue to plunge. Jobs continue to disappear. Consumer confidence is lower than it has ever been in my lifetime.

I do not claim to be an economic genius by any means. But I like to think that I have some common sense. The middle class is the largest segment of our socity and the direct focus should be there.

Bush duped people into believing that if you support the rich they'll spread the wealth around. Hey, I was born at night, but it wasn't last night.

Throughout history, civilations who developed a class that surrounded themselves in excess eventually failed. I'm sure the Egyptians, the Romans, the Persians, never thought their reigns would end. Just like we don't believe our power and control will ever end.

At this rate, get ready for a little humble pie.
