"ever heard of the lesser of two evils"? Every 4 years.

I'm with you on the cuts. I think we should cut the defense budget, raise taxes on the rich, and end the drug war before we start bleating about 'shared sacrifice'.

Now.. more bailouts to the dreaded 'banksters'? What bailouts? What 'banksters'? Got a link on these 'more bankster bailouts'?

TARP has been paid back, and if we hadn't done something, the global financial system could have collapsed. I know people like to fulminate about 'banksters', and yes accountability and reregulation were and are crucial; but the bailouts themselves were a good idea.
