My sometimes tin foil hat wearing brother comments from time to time on how a revolution is coming.

As I've read about the bailout money (and being on record as "con*") this kind of crap almost makes me want to grab the pitchfork and fire and join him.  [sm_mob]




*yes, I understand the implications of letting everyone go under and the greater implications on the global economy. But this is one example of why I was against it as it is simply rewarding bad behavior.

The other good news is that AIG went on ANOTHER spa retrea, this time in Phoenix.

Also, turns out the banks get 140 billion dollar 'Tax Break'.

I've really come to the conclusion that this isn't a 'Bailout', it's a 'Looting'.
