I just *love* the latest rounds of taxpayer-supported bailouts of
private corporations.

So far, U.S. rescue efforts to stabilize the financial system and housing
market amount to about $900 billion. If this continues, pretty soon
we'll be talking some real money. ;-(

If you really want your blood to boil, take that $10 billion a month we
are pouring down the toilet of Iraq and think about what sort of impact
that sort of expenditure would have on our economy if half of it were
spent *here* on rebuilding our crumbing roads, bridges, hospitals,
treatment plants, schools, wind power, solar power, nuclear power, et
cetera, and taxes on the wealthy were raised to pay for it.
