    We're beyond a bailout now. If I'm to understand this correctly: the fed is lending money to people the private sector won't.

    Honestly, I kind of agree with Dennis Kucinich on this one. He pointed out that:

    This was the largest single act of class warfare in the modern history of this country,”

    It's not just that it will take time to get over, it's that it signifies a significant and fundamental change in who we are as a country. The money can eventually be made up, but the damage to our character, as a nation, may be even more difficult to remedy.

    I couldn't look anyone in the eye now and say .... ya know, you should pay off your bills. Beyond pragmatic concerns, I don't see how I say that now.

    Well, it appears now that there is a class that should pay it's bills or they lose their house, their car, their credit rating, their bank accounts, etc. and there is a class that doesn't have to pay it's bills or else there will be 'chaos.'

    If the class that gets the bailouts no longer needs the rest of us to create a real economy of commerce in goods, it's all over.

    They'll need a few of us. They need to be entertained. They need a few lawyers to file bankruptcy for them while they wait for the next bailout.

    I see now things falling even further. We have a real chance of a depression more so than ever before. I read somewhere today one of the bank exes took a 500,000 vacation on the tax payers back. If ever the system has failed it is now that time. There are expected to be almost no jobs this Holiday season. Scorched earth? No. Merly the end of lower and middle class. What happens now that we are no longer needed?

    Now you know why the Republicans have been putting Real ID and other liberty destroying mechanisms in place.

    Now you can disappear to a secret prison without habeas corpus, and they just finished a large enough facility to house a million people.
