Soooo much crap going on in the world.

Recommended reading. It's short and informative. Now I'm not any expert on economics this or that, and I don't feel qualified to make predictions about our fiscal future. However I don't have to be qualified in those areas to tell you that giving Goldman Sachs' CEO a $700 billion line of credit, supplied by taxpayers' money, and giving him the power to do whatever he so chooses to do with that money with no oversight and without any legal limitations on what he does with it is, um, FUCKING SCARY AND REALLY BAD IDEA, guys! I don't even know why there's a "debate" at all. And people are like, "Ohhh we have to act. We can't just do nothing." Okay, so our choices are either do nothing OR give Paulson $700 billion of our money ($2300 for every single man woman and child in this country)? Are you kidding? Do you think I'm in kindergarten or something? Are most people in this country so braindead? And this is when we're trying: we're experiencing a record high (less than half of us! WAY TO GO!) interest in "political" news.
