He must not have gotten his check this year.

The taxpayers are already on the hook for trillions so what's another hundred billion or so. Or maybe this would be a rescue too far. It's going to be a tough call. To further complicate things he may want to save some of his ammo for a WaMu rescue, which seems inevitable.; September 12, 2008 4:49 PM

This all happened because of Bush policies intended to shrink the middleclass and make us so debt-burdened that we can't have the energy to stand up against the establishment. If it weren't for these toxic policies that also funded the war, then we would be a much more stabile country instead of looking at the worst economic melt-down since the Great Depression.; September 13, 2008 5:49 AM
