This whole bailout bullshit has pissed me off from the first.
The whole damn country has gone batshit insane if they think that dumping billions of our dollars into the gaping maws of the motherfuckers who caused this shit is the right idea.
For you newbies, this is a rant.
Everybody loves to talk about FREE MARKETS. Democrat, Republican alike abhor anything that smacks of Socialism. Well, I'm right there with ya, buddy. Socialism sucks. It's an outdated and disproven method of running an economy.
So why are Democrats and Republicans alike lining up to socialize our banking system? WTF? Are they just liars and they really want to socialize everything secretly? Or are they just so goddam craven and weak that Dubya and the Wall Street fucks have got them running for their lives?
A bit of both, I think.
The Democrats think that if they don't give all the money to the banks that shit will collapse and we'll all be fucked. As usual, they could be right. What they DON'T think about is that paying off the fuckers who did this to us only makes said fuckers want more. It is a program of feed the lion cuz that motherfucker's hungry and he might eat my ass, otherwise. It's time to confront the goddamn lion.
The Republicans are the real socialists. Any goddamn Republican that votes for a bailout of fucking Wall Street is a socialist. A plain, undisguised, balls-to-the-wall fucking communist. The very idea that someone who most devoutly BELIEVES in the FREE MARKET, as the Republicans are so proud to tell us they do, would give public money to the private sector in amounts that would make a fucking Saudi Sheik blush, has crossed the line from right-wingism to despotism.

The political line is a circle, after all.
It doubles back on itself, if you go far enough.
