Amazing. We the People now own, let's see:

 ---- An insurance company
 ---- Two mortgage companies
 ---- And some investment banks

Wow. So we've supposedly put off another global financial meltdown by buying 80% of AIG.

Of course, we had to borrow the money from CHINA to do so. But hey - we've managed to stave off the meltdown for at least another week or so.

Bush was only getting $80 billion a month out of us with the wars - but the financial meltdown is making it about $80 billion a week. He's brought the concept of 'robber-baron' to new heights - but we can't impeach him, hell no.

We've got to work 'with him' to keep the fat cats fat. And only in doing so can we avert these global financial crisis - right? He created them, along with his boot-lickers in Congress. And I'm sure it's all above board and honest, too - aren't you?

So by robbing Peter Citizen, we...what? Ensure Paul keeps his riches?

How does ANY of this benefit the average American?

As owners, will we receive dividends?

As owners, will we have any say in how OUR businesses are being run?

And how about all of those wealthy executives and Board members? Will any of them go to jail? Pay a fine? Lose ANYTHING?

If you or I cost the United States half a trillion dollars, WE'D BE IN JAIL. Or dead.

So what do you plan to do with you share of the profits from our new portfolio of businesses?

UPDATE: Found this awesome rant over at DU - it fits my own rant rather nicely.

We don't have ENOUGH MONEY to fix Social Security
We don't have ENOUGH MONEY to fix Medicare
We don't have ENOUGH MONEY to provide health care to ALL Americans
We don't have ENOUGH MONEY to help out Americans losing their homes
We don't have ENOUGH MONEY to help all our veterans returning from war

BUT

We DO HAVE ENOUGH MONEY to bail out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
We DO HAVE ENOUGH MONEY to bail out Bears Stearns
We DO HAVE ENOUGH MONEY to bail out AIG
We DO HAVE ENOUGH MONEY to pay for an unnecessary TRILLION DOLLAR war


When the LITTLE GUY needs help, they scornfully say, "GET A JOB!"
But when of their BIG GUY CRONIES need a bailout, what do they say?

SURE, NO PROBLEM. Where's the checkbook?

"But what about the debt we're leaving on the backs of our children and their future?"

"Children? WHOSE Children. OUR children won't have to pay for this. YOUR children will!"

The Republicans have had their hands in our pockets for 8 years.

Now they are robbing us blind IN BROAD DAYLIGHT!!!!

The Republicans have shown their true colors and now they expect us to vote them back into office?

What's next? Should we bend over and spread 'em? Oh, I'm sorry, but we've ALREADY DONE THAT!!
SEVERAL TIMES!!!

Let's show 'em OUR color this November:

BLUE
