Feudalism aka American Capitalism.

It's looking more and more like the dark ages never really ended.

But Obama did bring up the MISUSE of those funds last night in the debate and said they should be FIRED and the money paid back for the little $400,000 vacation.

I agree that the bailout bill is a bad bill. By the time the new administration takes over most of it will already be spent, so all the stuff that was sputtered last night might just be moot and the "sitters around the tables" will be screwed once again - if they still have their tables. Noble words were spouted about buying the paper and setting up new mortgages, but if the money is gone - where is MORE coming from - another bailout?

I don't have an answer except to cut Congress salaries and let them live on "OUR" budgets for a while - cut out some of the "expenses" in DC and let them see what "lean" times feel like. But that would take a Congessional vote and it would never get a majority....

Barb, you're sticking up for our government when they went against what we wanted with these two words above.

Doesn't matter which one is running, both "parties" are corrupt.  There is always a man (in this case, people) behind the curtain...

Didn't mean it that way Mel  - I was just correcting something someone said about the debate - he did mention that.. that's all I meant. It WAS a bad bill and they both should have voted NO.

It was definitely not thought out well, it leaves too much power in dear old Hank P. and it's just a bad bill -- we'll use up the damn money and they'll be back wanting more...

Have they (congress) stopped the whole shoe allowance yet?  That would be a start...

I think it was McCain that said he would like Warren Buffet for Treasury Secretary.

Works for me but Warren has a brain. Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or Register

And common sense, no way he'd ever get a position in government.....

You should see the house Warren Buffet lives in it's the house his family started out in - if only all of the beltway bigwigs would be so sensible....
