Drug Testing Welfare Recipients
Legislators in eight states are proposing that people receiving public assistance.....welfare...be drug tested. I assume that includes Wall Street executives and bankers too?

Suckers!
We are big fat suckers. The insurance giant, AIG, has received over $170 billion dollars in bailout money. Why? Because they are too big to fail, and if AIG did fail, it would be catastrophic for the world economy....or at least thats what some claim would happen.
But giving AIG $170 billion does not necessarily make us suckers. What makes us suckers is AIG is giving their executives over $150 million dollars in bonuses....and not just any executives....no....AIG is giving the very people in charge of the unit that got the company in trouble with risky high stakes gambling, the lion share of the bonues! SUCKER!!!!!
It's time we nationalize these companies we're bailing out....take them over...fire the people that got the company in trouble...reorganize them, break them up in to several smaller companies, and sell them off.

Republican Solutions
Faced with a worsening economic crisis what has been the Republican response? Besides more tax cuts for the wealthy? How about a "spending freeze"! Lets take a minute to ponder that..............................................................................................................................................
.....................................................................................................................................................
Had enough time?
In an economy where no one is spending....not consumers...certainly not business...who then is left to spend, to stimulate the economy? Could it be....government?!!!
These guys are insane, but don't take my word for it.

Too Big To Fail?
This article is all about the looting of America. Big financial institutions, too big to fail, engage in risky business practices, that make a ton of money, but eventually go bad, leaving the government to bail them out.
If these banks are too big to fail, why aren't we breaking them up as we bail them out?
