Blaming Wall Street=Blaming Main Street. Folks don’t realize how inter-connected the two are. TARP also bailed out everyone’s pension and 401K, 403s.
Thanks everyone for the good wishes. Standing back from the political squaubbaling today — will return tomorrow ready to rumble.
“Most of the TARP money has been paid back with interest.”
Yeah, that’s nice. Would have been nicer if they didn’t need it!
And what about who received over $2 trillion in zero or virtually zero-interest loans from the Fed! And how much did they make off that? Hmm, DIBS. Repubs hoping no one would notice?
Fruit-flavored candy like Jolly Rancher, Skittles, those strawberry things, Sweettarts, and Spree were the candy I most liked to get.

Think I’ll go “stock up” at lunchtime.
“-Also BIG in LI – right DH?”
yeah – for sure. mostly egg throwing at cars and stuff like that.

The scene: CMU and Mopar lamenting the loss of “good farming jobs”. Mopar commenting that “we’re in the age of mass-production, buoyed by government policy”. Folks complaining about your salary as one of those new-fangled “greedy, rich industrialists”.
Can you imagine it?
