corporation will be the next one bailed out?
Or is that it? Will we be eating bread on the streets lining up for a hours work for a few pennies like in the 1930s or is there a media bash up going on? Whos behind this panic and propaganda? Will they be behind us in the food lines?
Will we still have internet and home delivery pizza with those nice little fishy things on them?
Here’s what makes me excited……..With my tax dollars, I’m giving corporate America a loan on bad credit for zero interest so they can turn around and raise the interest rates on my mortgage, car note, student loans, etc. to recoup their losses. Isn’t that just SUPER awesome!?
Another answerer asked, who’s fault is it? You know what, I for one don’t believe the government should have bailed out any of them. Sure, people’s retirements would have been affected. But you know what, we’d all know who is to blame, wouldn’t we. We’re never "allowed" to blame corporate America. Afterall, our society is built upon capitalism, right? Work hard, pick yourself up by the bootstraps and make your own way - is what they say. So when we have to pay more for goods and services, how dare I blame corporate America. They’re just out to make a buck, just like me. Instead, we blame the high cost of whatever we buy on the high cost of energy, or labor. It’s not their fault, they’re just hard working Joe’s like me. They have no choice but to charge me $6 for a gallon of milk because diesel is $5 a gallon. Just passing it on. And when a pharmaceutical company decides a drug is fit for use, then 10 years later it kills half of all who take it, we can blame the studies. Those screwy scientists told poor ol’ glaxo smilth cline the medicine was good to go. Gotta love that FDA, huh?
WHATEVER.
But you know something, having hundreds of thousands of people’s 401k’s and Roth IRA’s hit the shitcan would sure get their attention, wouldn’t it? Then maybe just ONCE, we could assign the blame where it belongs - NOT the whitehouse - NOT congress - NOT John McCain - NOT Barrack Obama - NO, the blame lies with crooked corporate America. Why shouldn’t we let their bank accounts go negative? Mine does all the freakin time. And no one bails me out, or offers to reset my credit. Guess I don’t work hard enough, huh…..
