:donut: and lurkers. I think reality may have sunk in. They have raided the coffers and are finally starting to grasp the fact that if the consumers don't have jobs-they don't/can't get anymore money via taxes. The consumer is just chin above water, in fact many ARE starting to go under. They have never given more than lip service to the whole consumer based economy idea. It is finally starting to bite them in the butt. And the fact that these bankers are just lining their pockets, cutting bonus checks, and having lavish retreats is only making him out to look like a jack ass at best a con man for his bank buddies at the worst. Congress shouldn't have given them ANY money in the first place but at least they only gave 1/2 what they wanted. The financial sector is beginning to feel OUR pain for a change. There won't be any reform until they DO bear some of this burden. If things continue this way-it will get ugly. Do you think adults with hungry little ones are going to sit and patiently wait for things to right themselves when these WS folks are getting their bonus checks. No, it will stick in their craw and they'll do something about it. I am waiting for some of these executives to get capped frankly-then I'll know we have entered the revolution that FDR averted.

Happy hunting and watch out for the bears.
