If talk is cheap, why does it cost me so much?
It seems like the only thing our new White House gang is doing… Is talking. And Spending. Isn’t that what women stereotypically do? It just seems like the more people cry out about how much they hate the bailouts and stimulus garbage, the more Obama & Co say, “No,no,no! It’s all good! You want this. Shhh… Stop arguing. You want this. HEY! Stop telling me you don’t want this- YOU WANT THIS.”
We said we hated the AIG bonuses. Gheitner said, “Oh man, you’re right… that sucks. Oh well.” So what if it was in their contracts prior to the bailout. If there’d not been a bailout, there wouldn’t have been any contracts for bonuses to occur. They should just be thankful that they even *HAVE* jobs still. I would be… I’m happy to say, that some of these people have given back their bonuses. At least a few folks have integrity. I know personally that if I had done any business at all with AIG prior to the bailout, I would have immediately discontinued it after I’d heard about the bonuses. I know that’s bad- there are good people who work there…..
Now I’ll admit, I listen to conservative talk radio all day long. We have no liberal radio shows here in my home town. So all the view points that I hear are from my conservative friends, conservative radio show hosts, conservative coworkers and conservative family members. Do you see why my views are a little narrow?
Everyone that I personally know or listen to has stated that they dislike and disagree with the bailouts and stimulus package. What I want to know is:
Is there ANYONE who thinks this is a good idea? Tell me why or why not.
The reason I ask is because I honestly can’t see how this promotes capitalism to reward failure. Capitalism in itself is the best stimulus package I could possibly think of. Correct me if you think I’m wrong. I’d like to know what you think. Unless you’re stupid. Or a Commie.

I never understood how throwing money you don’t have at a problem that was caused by people throwing even more money they didn’t have at others will solve anything. The bailouts were a horrible idea. This is all just a quick and temporary fix. It’s going to screw over future generations for years to come.
This is why I’ve always said California should emancipate it self from the US and become it’s own country. We’re the 5th largest economy in the world and we’ve got the best weather too.
