Let the companies fail, let the investors suffer, and it will all be fine.
What gets me is the people who complain about Bush bailing these companies out are the same ones who want Obama and his nationalized healthcare. We're spending a ton of money making sure these companies survive, what do people think it is going to cost to give everyone health benefits? -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

About 65 billion dollars... -------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?
