Why is there no outrage over the $2 billion of the financial bailout money (remember, this was not a loan, but a Chris present and doesn't need to be repaid!) going to exec bonuses? Where is the Congressional oversight? Where is Paulsen (and he was going to be the auto "czar?")? And the autos had to crawl to Canossa?
And where is the anger at BO's stimulus program (now there's a nice euphemism)? How much? Right now it's $1 trillion and counting. Hmmm...I wonder where that money is coming from. And I wonder, who's going to get it?
I hate to say it (because I get it, too), but we deserve what we get. If you haven't picked up a copy of Cullen Murphy's Are We Rome?, do so. It's not a comprehensive history of the Roman Empire (or Republic) nor a polemic diatribe with what's wrong with us. But it is a thoughtful, insightful look at where we are, how we got here, and, if we care about the future, what to do. No, No...I'm sorry. American Idol is on.... Repeat the first sentence of this paragraph.
