Remember when it was a bad thing to throw money at problems

[chieftain]

Of course it was a bad thing because Liberals directed money toward education, health care, nutrition, saving the environment and other soft headed and soft hearted initiatives that would not directly benefit those who were not in need. I found very revealing the comment that the compromise that Paulson had the hardest time accepting was the limit on CEO salaries for those with their hands out for our money. It was so hard because it ran counter to his most deeply held beliefs. I think that statement tells us all we ever need to know about the economic royalists who surround W and McCain. Money is the be all and the end all. Those that have it should have more and those that don't need to go find some bootstraps with which to pull themselves up. So as the curtain comes down on the most pitiful excuse for a presidency in US history, the crony capitalists stage one last raid on public resources to pay off private wealth, thereby leaving Obama with all the problems but no money to throw out in helping to find solutions. These smug money-grubbing crooks disgust me.
