Bailouts!

So not only has the bush administration spent our money like a 13 year old looking for a quick sugar fix in a candy shop (mind you this 13 year old is extremely hyper yet lazy and is somewhere around 400 pounds), but now he is asking for close to $1trillion to help bailout beleaguered financial institutions!!! WTF!!!!??

Bush gives banks carte blanche to run amok during his terms in office and then sticks the taxpayers with the bill. Its like you are planning a reunion for a bunch of your highschool buddies when one friend who you arent particularly close with (but hes someones brother) says "dont worry, i got the hook up at the club, we will be straight, i got us vip bottle service!" You and your buddies get all excited, you take a limo to the joint and down copious amounts of redbull and vodka on your way there. You pull up to the spot ready to do the damn thing, the line is wrapped around the block but you dont worry, your friend has the hook up right?! Sure enough you go to the front of the line and all of a sudden said friend turns and says "alright yo, let me get your credit card cuz they wont let us in!" This really happened. And thats what bush and all his cronies are attempting to do to us.

We will be stuck with the bill and left with a dead dollar whose worth will value my crusty toe nails and some lint in my pockets. If we have learned anything its that short term solutions dont work. You dont spend massive amounts of money to save money. You pull yourself up by the bootstraps and dig in. You get ready for the long hall and dont trust doods who say they have the hook up for the vip bottle service (bush).
