Protection money

Anyone else get the feeling that the government is acting like the Mafia**? Bush and Paulson are essentially saying: 'give us a blank check that STARTS at 700 billion but is guaranteed to be more than that - AND we give you no oversight and -maybe- let you make an advisory committee in a few months and if you -don't- then we break your economy'.


[**Okay - acting -worse- than the Mafia: the Mafia is rumored to have a code of honor.]

Trained monkeys would do better. [sighs] They'd be more honest. Too bad we can't get your dad involved as a consultant. [It would get him away from you, busy down in Washington DC - and couldn't be any worse than the guys they're using already ^_^.]
