Enough Bullshit

Yesterday I wondered if the time taken haggling over the stimulus package will end up making it meaningless. Today I'm reminded that for the banking bailout, the whole discussion took about 30 seconds, and nobody even pretended to ask/care how the money was gonna be spent. "Whoa, whoa, please! None of our business! Enjoy!!!!"

In other words, isn't there some way we can convince the people holding things up that the money in the stimulus is going directly to outrageously wealthy white men? Pull off some bait-n-switch afterwards? I can't be the only one thinking that if someone suggested simply handing the money over to Bernie Madoff, the check would be written and delivered by lunchtime today, can I?






"Small bills, please."
