The new plan for success:
Rack up billions in debt.
Become so big that no one will let you fail and will reward you with even more billions.
Pay yourself several million in bonus money.
Let them fire you.
Enjoy the rest of your life.
Why does government keep sending money down dark holes?
Why not start rewarding the responsible among us?
The individuals who built their homes out of pocket and who are keeping up with their mortgage payments and have watched their home values drop also.
The banks who are still viable.
The banks who provide reasonable credit and credit card terms to consumers and a fair savings account interest rate.
The businesses who are not in debt, but are being hurt terribly because of those big financial institutions who went off the deep end.
Find out who is working, what is working and support that.
Seriously support green jobs, healthy food, healthy watersheds, healthy habitat, ferries, public transportation.
Implement universal, single-payer health care now.
The $400 being trickled out to individuals just isn't making up for the losses of the irresponsible.
Reward the responsible.
Trickle up.
