and maybe it will recover...heck, without a bailout we may find the true bottom of this thing...but as we do, keep in mind who is losing here...

- you
- me
- your family
- your neighbors
- your kids (more than anyone)

the people that are best positioned to weather this turmoil? the assholes who brought it to you.

4. thanks...no caffeine yet and humor is lost on me in this
situation (the no caffeine part). i find it almost laughable that people think this doesn't affect them...

5. yup
I'm up at 4am every day so the caffeine injection is well under way. I try to keep some humor about this but it's frustrating to see so many people who just do not get it.

7. I get it, but I don't get not passing a tax increase on the wealthiest to pay for it.
Can you explain THAT?
