Republicans are against saving the whales, but for saving the fat cats.
That's what we've heard from Limpballs and the Republicans for years. "If the snail darter is forced into extinction in the name of building a bridge, if the polar bears become extinct because of global warming--so be it. It's the natural order of things."

But, when the fat cats on Wall Street are on the brink of bankruptcy, Republicans want the government to come in bail their rich asses out--today to the tune of 1 tenth of our national debt--1 trillion dollars. What about the natural orders of the free market?

Assholes.

1. It is just amazing that the American people are willing to bail out
the very same greedy corporatist who sent their jobs overseas, who made billions through usury and who have prevented the American people from getting out from under their own debt.

You know what's going to happen don't you? These CEOs, uber wealthy and idle rich will move out of the US with their billions of tax payer's money and we will be left to pay their bills. With all our tax dollars going to pay off these bad loans, the US will have NO money to pay for infrastructure improvements, schools, food and heat assistance, social security, health care or unemployment compensation.
