Time for one more installment of my rantings on this bailout insanity.
So how has the government been spending the first half of the TARP
funds? Not good, see for yourself.
“Whenever I discussed the current bailout situation with people, I find they have a hard time comprehending the actual numbers involved. That became a problem while doing the research for the Bailout Nation book. I needed some way to put this into proper historical perspective.” Proceed with caution.
If that didn’t help try this visual rending of the comparative size of
bailouts in US History.
Just what would the Federal Government’s credit score look like?
If all this has made you say, “Hey I could do a better job at handling
this bailout than those lobotomized mouth-breathing idiots in
Washington!” Well here’s your chance, I give you the Bailout Game!
So what does the Bailout Fiasco have in common with the Battle of the
Somme. If at first you don’t succeed, try failing bigger?
So there, I’m done. No more bailout soap box. Because this “Stimulus
Package” is going to put it all to shame.
No more bailout soapbox? Maybe this video satire will amuse you at http://www.bondwooley.com
