Really folks, there is no recession or depression. The bid for Bear Sterns went from an accepted $2 a share to $10 with only one bidder???? Oil is over $100 a barrel and I paid $3.27 a gallon for regular yesterday, yet OPEC says there is plenty of oil in the market and no need to increase production. Now before I hear from europe about how good we have it at $3.27 per gallon can anyone quote me the current price of gas in Dubei??? Last I heard it was about $0.12 per. Just because one of us is accepting being ripped off more than the other doesn't make any of us less foolish. We can't afford universal health care and social security will be broke in a few years, but we have the money to pay for the Iraq War??? (And hey, we set another record yesterday. 4,000 dead american children, dk how many injured. Oh by the way injured doesn't mean caught a staple in the finger here. But I digress). Oh I hear Bush's daughter will have a lavish wedding soon. Congratulations. Will she be deploying soon thereafter or will she follow her father's example from Viet Nam.
We spend $80,000 a year per housing prisoners, most of which are drug addicts and low level dealers yet we can't afford about $20,000 per to set up rehab clinics????
Here's the deal: How about we rehab the drug addicts and clear out those cells then fill them with all the "Greed is Good" folks, those tytans of industry and government who have been comitting grand larceny on a global scall. Oh yeah, they make the rules we play by. Here's my thought for the day: Hilary or Obama what's your thought on actually changing the system to really represent the people. Let's start with a new war. Take the money that's currently spent in Iraq and use it to prosecute ALL of the politicians and corporate execs who have ripped us off for the past 7 years. Forget that we'll look incompetant to the rest of the world for having let it go on. They already know we're fools. Show the world that the spirit of the Boston Tea Party is still alive in this country and that some of us will do the right thing simply because it is right.
