It's now been over a week for the Barack Obama Administration and the honeymoon didn't last that long. Not one Republican voted for the 819 billion dollar (it's shorter writing out the word, billion than to attach all those 0's) stimulus package. Not that he needs the Republicans since he has more than enough votes to pass his bill what with the majority of Democrats but it would have been nice to have a few of the GOP to show some support. However, after that first 700 billion dollar bailout passed back in October with no accountability where the money was going I think Joe and Jane taxpayer

are only going to give Barack's people so much leeway before we finally say, "Hey. Where exactly is the money going this time and who will be held accountable if they piss away their 'bridge loan' this time?" After hearing about that douche from Merrill Lynch who received financial assistance and then continued to bonus his management staff all the while refurbishing his office to the tune of 1.2 million dollars all I have to say is F&^%@ You scumbag! I say we immediately withdraw all money to any institution that feels their people deserve a bonus. And how about those other smart numb nuts at Citicorp who thought it was a good idea to purchase a private jet while having their bailout hands outstretched too? Does these people live in a parallel universe? Do they not know in the real world what is happening out there? I say let your shareholders foot the bill since you were dumb enough to buy their stock. No. It's like any other investment if you're a shareholder you can't receive any bailout money. Second the government needs to have an itemized list of what these financial institutions need to do before they get one penny.

If you don't follow or can't abide by the rules set forth than fine. No money. Why does anyone deserve a bonus anyway in these times when asking for a bailout? I thought a bonus was something you did that brought revenue in for the company. Getting a bonus now is like saying "Thanks for evaporating all of our client's earnings and 401K. Here's a fat check to show how much we appreciate what you, our loyal employees to the company have done. Now whoever gets the next Ponzi scheme off the ground gets an additional bonus too!" I can't wait to see Americans get to the point of getting so pissed that they toss all of those with golden parachutes out the windows of their executive offices. I just hope that their parachutes are really made of gold so that way their landing won't be a soft landing.
