1. What a relief not to have to worry about him.
Because I've had many sleepless nights, filled with concern that CEOs would go hungry.

4. I was walking the floor last night in a sleepless fit worrying about those poor CEOs making the rent
How they will manage to scape by is a real tear-jerker. I'll go grab my hanky.

14. Well, I can't spend money on myself. I have to think of the CEOs first. Country first.
I don't have needs. It is all for them. :patriot:

7. Well, hell, that was 17 days of hard work. When you work hard, you deserve tax breaks.
It takes hard work to sink a bank. If only all the poor people would work that hard, they would deserve tax breaks, too.





:sarcasm: <------ In case it needs to be said.

6. We should be rushing to give $700 billion more
because it is our patriotic duty to save the CEO's. Not saving the CEO's is like kicking kittens and you don't like kicking kittens do you?
