Fuck you. You, and more to the point, the others on the trading floor, don’t seem to mind bailouts so long as the money goes directly to Wall Street. Tackling the problem area from whence the recession sprang and helping millions of Americans keep their homes isn’t irresponsible. Giving the cheering mob behind you forklifts full of cash without any accountability expected, on the other hand…
Does a sense of entitlement cause irreparable brain damage? The more the people who got us into this mess throw hissyfits when anyone other than themselves are aided by emergency funds, the greater the correlation appears to be. The theory is this: the smug sense of superiority these bastards feel is addictive, so they seek to replicate it as much as they can. Unbeknownst to them, however, the sensation is caused by brain cells not getting enough oxygen.
You may be spouting what you think is populism, but the rest of the country isn’t cheering with them. CEOs, bankers, stock traders and their ilk are widely reviled. To give you an idea of what we really think of the crowd you’re running with, Congress is more popular. This is the same Congress of which we said were less trustworthy than used car salesman. Are we on the same page now? Are you listening? Are you too brain damaged to care? Then fuck you.
