bail me out, please

as we all know by now, there is a proposed 700 billion dollar bailout plan for wall st., which is now framed by bush as a rescue plan, not a bailout.

so, while these good, honest, hardworking people have been raking in millions of dollars for themselves annually, and doing everything they can to maximize their (private) profits by slashing retirement funds and health insurance and pay increases for their employees and by laying them off, sometimes thousands per instance, they are now desparate for all of us to cover their losses. "socialized" isn't such a dirty word for them at the moment. can't talk about universal healthcare ever without being called a socialist or commie, but now we can talk openly and freely about socializing the losses of those corporations.

gotta love this country.

bush's argument last night is that many average americans pay their mortgages and car notes and might be apt to think it unfair, but without this rescue effort, average americans will be hurt because they won't be able to get a car loan or house financing or pay for college tuition.

how about bailing me out of my student loan debt? or our mortgage?
