The other day CNN reported a trillion dollar unaccounted for giveaway at the Fed. today Kucinich is complaining about the bait and switch, mortgage bailout? no not now. I thought this would be the deal and it is. No one wants to help GM (read UAW). So homeowners and UAW get screwed, banks get uplifted, credit is squeezed( us ) and they even may be granting loans for Toyota but not Chevy. Looks like the quote from Cheney in December2001. when Treasury Sec O’Neill asked about tax cuts for the richest the reply was” deficits don’t matter. It’s our due”. Looks like the monied class still thinks a last minute ripoff of the whole country is their due and theirs alone. Looks like they set up a gigantic mess for Obama, not reporting their real debts until a month before the election. Usual smash and grab tactics from the uber rich. I wish they would go to another country and prey on some other population. I am tired of being their cash cow.

Recent comment by an ‘important’ Republican operative – government oversight of bail-out recipients will only result in the recipients refusing to accept the bail-out. It’s quite obvious that Republicans slipped into dadaism – exploiting the accidental and incongruous – about 30 years ago, and that statement indicates that the slip has taken them right off the cliff.

Somebody said that an economist is a guy who can’t tell you tomorrow why what he forecast yesterday didn’t happen today. Paulson is obviously an economist, not to mention a self-serving bastard.

#11 They definately live in a different world from me. If I am broke, I stay at home. It sounds like they don’t have a room in the office building to meet in doesn’t it.

Here’s a question: With 3 Senate seats undecided for a while, (recounts & special election in GA) the jury is out on a 60-seat majority in the Senate. But there is the presumption that the Republicans will continue ot operate as a homogenous group – after getting their butts kicked 2 elections in a row. If you were a Republican who would be up for reelection in 2010, do you want the Democrats to cite your record of blocking every bit of legislation that came up?? Any Republican Senator up for reelection in 2010 will do whatever will help him keep his seat – and if that means screwing the GOP – that’s what will happen.

That’s the good news: the bad news is the Democrats ARE in control of their own destiny and will be jusged on their ability to produce results. They can tale al the credit if they win; they take all the blame if they fail.

George Bush walks into a bar with a duck on his head. The bartender asks, “What would you like?”. The duck replies,” I’d like to know how I can get this shit off my feet!”

I have no idea why anyone would trust bush or paulson who works for him.

Palin is a gift that just keeps giving. She went to Miami and gave her stump speech to the conservative gov.????? If they don’t figure how to turn her into some kind of money maker…she may self destruct due to a terminal case of foot in mouth disease.

I’m pretty sure that’s supposed to be:

“Palin” describes extreme partisanship
