yesno, I appreciate your last post. I'm inclined to agree with you because in general you seem way smarter and better informed than me. On the other hand, I just have so little faith that it will actually be worth it if executed by the particular group of assholes running this particular country at this particular moment in time.
I think the point of a lot of the outrage stuff is that they pushed for something so fast, seemingly out of nowhere, that people like me haven't even had time to figure out what the fuck is going on, and in a so-called democracy, that's very upsetting. So you need like more than a week and for something to happen that actually dramatically shits on the stock market and makes everyone mad before someone like me can actually be bothered to go and research and digest what is actually going on with the bailout thing. I think there was a panic in the way this was proposed and brought to the American people, and I think, rightfully so, that the American people are just not fucking buying it from this Administration anymore. There's just no more trust left (little bit of parroting of washington post happening right now on my part). Okay, that's all.
I guess I have to admit that I'd rather have a bailout then to have my dad never be able to retire.
The thing that fucking sucks is that in the supposed "good times" of a year ago, my dad's retirement was not entirely guaranteed then either. That's the bullshit I mean.
