National Coupon Economy?!

Just announced was the proposed coming of more government money for you and you and you to spend. Welcome, Postman/woman! Welcome, more debt for taxpayers! Welcome, the plus-interest due, Welcome, oh! our taxpayers! to the “free” money! Yes, the second rebate is coming. Just what is this windfall?

It’s an economy booster shot in the arm //really for their benefit, not yours// that is coming soon, in order to bolster consumer spending. That will come from the taxpayers’ money, of course. And this will be round two for rebate checks.

Government regulations? Who needs regulating? Wall street and off-Wall Street bankers and mortgage companies? Sure. What about more government regulations on lobbyists? Whoops! Can Congress bite the hand that feeds them? What role have lobbyists played and are still playing with the downfall of the American economy? Just exactly who/what are the lobbyists? For real?

Has anyone said anything at all about the involved lobbyists hidden in the background, their contracted influence via bribes, and their takeaway pay from this Great American Robbery? Oh yeah, including their takeaway bonuses from their clients? Moreover, Good Gawk! — did the these lobbyists even destroy their own clients? Tell us which lobbyists paved the way for less or no regulations in the financial markets?

Everyone that will read this probably knows that I am obviously an Obama fan, and may think this is just another smear tactic to make the GOP’ers look bad (ad hominem), but this does not take a large logical leap to conclude. Sarah Palin and John McCain are not doing anything to curve the chanting of threats to Obama’s political reputation, health, life and his families lives.

If you are clueless as to what I am writing about, please go here to watch someone in the crowd calling Obama a “terrorist!”, here to watch a similar act, except the operative word is “treason” and last but not least, here where someone actually hollers “Kill Him!”.

While you are worried about the $700 billion price tag for bailing out our economy, Congress just easily passed $612 billion to be sent to cover defense spending for the FAILED Iraq war (I don’t care that the surged worked, we have still failed the original mission), and the FAILED Afghanistan War (failed because our focus is continually diverted to the Iraq war). So, in reality, we have two bailouts. Our government has to bailout Bush, and his Bushites with their Iraq War débâcle, and our economy because of … um, could it be? Bush, and his Bushites? Ding, ding, ding! Tell them what they have one Johnny. Yes, it is Bush’s fault, maybe not entirely, but he has had a major hand in his deregulation of big business initiative since he took office.

God damn it Bill and Hillary. I mean really. This isn’t the high school prom, and Hillary wasn’t supposed to be Prom Queen. She lost. Get over it! Let’s move on. Yet, I don’t think they will, and I too believe there is a slight motivation to see McCain win, so that Hillary can have a chance in 2012 (the end of the world! According to some.) Am I the only one that notices how Hillary is still campaigning, and Bill can’t say Obama’s name to save his life?

What do we do?

After the 700 billion plus dollars bailout of Wall Street and the banking community, what can we the people look forward to? Of course, the Feds aren’t calling their solution to their problem a bailout. They are using a surefire Madison Avenue, advertising ploy and calling the “Bailout” by different brand names in order to offset any public outcry. Let’s do a switch on a recent joke: You can put lipstick on the word, bailout, but it’s still a bailout. Moreover, this bailout may mushroom in the dollar amount because now the Fed is also considering a bailout of foreign banks who have “branches” in the U.S. Oh! Good Gawk!
