To: Palin and Obama (and McCain and the other old white guy too) ... Just Say No!!!
Migod! We already are paying more than $650 billion to keep the Defense Department (and the Iraq and Afghanistan wars) going ... why do we need even more than that to keep the fat cats on Wall Street going too?
The sad reality of the situation is that all of the rest of us--and our children and grandchildren--are being asked to take on the responsibility of bearing the risk for the inane investments [sic] and other speculative decisions that have created great wealth for a few fat cats on Wall Street and even investment bankers in foreign countries who were involved in the sub-prime mortgage business over the past ten to fifteen years.
Nancy Reagan said it best:
It is truly time to say "No!" to any more corporate bailouts. The Bush tax cuts and a preemptive war against one of Iran's and Osama bin Laden's worst enemies (Iraq) has gotten is into trillions (that's "tr" as in "tribulation") of dollars of debt and has likely already taken universal health care, an improved infrastructure (roads, bridges, etc.), major strides towards a first-rate public education for our children and comfortable retirement years from all but the very wealthiest of our citizens ... completely off the table for the coming decades.
What more can we give to keep that damnable Wall Street halfway stable?
I say
