MEANWHILE, at the drop of a hat, a huge bank gets 20 billion to merge with a brokerage. I would like to keep the economy humming along too, but does anybody else see how perverse that is? Poor kids aren't worth doodley squat, is that it?

ReplyDeleteHey, anyone who thinks waterboarding is NOT turture, wouldn't have much of a problem with letting kids starve to death while the banks get the bailout. Institutions are so much important than our future citizens, especially if they're poor and uninfluential. I can't understand the reasoning, if there is any, but that's the way it strikes me.
