Rachel Maddow describes in children's book example the current Economic Bailout
Edited on Mon Sep-22-08 09:27 PM by zulchzulu
She had it down perfectly.

She said that the Wall Street crowd was basically given a big bowl of candy via the deregulation crowd (Reagan all the way up to Bush/McCain)... a nice big bowl of candy. Add that the Wall Street crowd are acting like a bunch of six year-olds.

What do the six year-olds do? Eat all the candy as fast as they can and puke all over the carpet.

So what do we do? We hire a seven year-old babysitter. What does the seven year-old babysitter do?

ASK FOR MORE CANDY!!!
