Re: the Bailout
So now we the people bail out the rich.
Will the billionaires responsible for the economic disaster pay _any_ price? Will their bonuses go down? Will they see any cut in pay? Any seizures of the property they acquired at our expense?
hugh, the ruling class wrote the rules. they don't pay. sillyness
It will be VERY tough for the new Governor and I have faith in his ability to take on these very complicated matters of state. But he needs support from all of us. I wish him and us well.
He sounds like too high a quality guy to have come to the governor's office by normal means (insufficient slime) and so we are all blessed, is what I am thinking.
