Time to show some Tough Love

Looks like we again have some weapons of mass distraction

This time, it’s not Weapons of mass destruction that will take

down America, it Mortgage Backed Securities that will bring

Us (U.S) to our knees.

In order to save American, our Government needs another

Trillion dollars to save us.

What is a Trillion dollars anyway, just a small price to pay

for our freedom.

What a bunch of crap!

The same government that championed free markets now wants

the US Taxpaper to cover Wall Street bad bets.

Instead of letting the free market foreign banks feed on the

Greedy US highrolling Banks, the Government is offering a

free pass at our expense.

Ronald Regan must be rolling in his grave!

This is the single largest tax increase in history, (with little

to show for it).

It is being rammed through by a lame duck president with less than

5 months left in his term.  The Treasury doesn’t know what they are

buying, how much it will cost, whether it will work and most importantly

whether the US Taxpayer can afford it.   The kicker is that they want

no analysis, no debate, no oversight—just a blank check.- in five days!

Time to show some Tough Love and just say no.

The Brewers ticket scalper’s union and made a formal disaster request

to the U.S. treasury for a secured line of credit to mitigate future Brewer

ticket losses which are expected on the final home stand of the season.

The Scalper’s union expects huge losses from the next home stand as a

result of the Brewer extremely poor performance in the month of September.

Union President, Anita Loanne said  “This is the worst scalper’s crisis I have ever

seen”   It’s worse than the Brave’s depression of 1961.  Our workers are at risk of

losing everything!”  “People don’t realize how important the “scalpers” role in

providing ticket opportunities for those fans with no genuine opportunity to obtain

tickets from the Brewers.  If the scalpers are allowed to go out of business, Major

League Baseball in Milwaukee will seriously be at risk.”

Anita finished by saying “It’s though no fault of our own that the prices tanked, it’s

the Brewer’s fault—that’s why we need a bailout”

The Loan request is estimated at $7.25 Million.  It’s a small price to pay to ensure

equal ticket access to Brewer fans in the coming years.

The US Treasury will consider the request.

Both Presidental Candidates were unavailable for comment.    

I think the Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke is crazy.   First, he said no way to a bail out and now, guess what, the Fed is putting up $85,000,000,000 to bail out AIG.   Who losses, the US Taxpayer.   Sure, AIG falure would cause huge financial turmoil, but how many more corp bailouts can the taxpayers afford.  We can't afford this one.

If we thought inflation was bad now, just wait.   The Fed is printing more paper than Kimberly Clark and it's all to bail out the big Wall Street companies, while familes on the brink of  foreclosure receive no assistance whatsoever.

What kind of country do we live in that allows familes to suffer while subsidizing corporate incompetence.

It's a sad day for the average joe taxpayer :(
