don't worry the rich can afford it
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

Don't worry, the Democrats and Republicans in Washington have this great plan to make the wealthy even more wealthy that should balance it all out...

Yep, if we keep following President Obama's instructions ... If we keep spending money, pretty soon there won't be any poor.

Don't forget Fannie and Freddy.
It's never good to wake up in the shrubs naked, you either got way too drunk, or your azz is a werewolf.

Let's see...
TARP cost $700 billion
AIG cost $153 billion
Fannie and Freddie cost $400 billion
GM cost $62 billion (I might be wrong on this one)
That's about 1.3 trillion dollars. TARP is meant to be
repaid , the AIG bailout has a
rather high interest rate , and the GM bailout may
pay for itself , leaving us with $400 billion poured into Fannie and Freddie. Really pales in comparison with the
trillion dollars that have no way of being repaid spent on the war on terror since 2001.
