Found! Blank federal bailout application
At last – Now we can collect “our share” of the pie … even though in reality it’s already ours to begin with!
Two Republican Governors: Just say no to state bailouts
Unfortunately, TX Gov. Rick Perry and SC Gov. Mark Sanford are voices in the wilderness – nevertheless their piece against state bailouts in the WSJ today is definitely worth the read.
Yet another bailout
This time, Citigroup will be the recipient of billlions in federal bailout dollars. The total number of dollars pledged so far to help “struggling” industries? Bloomberg calculates somewhere in the neighborhood of $7.4 trillion. Will TV networks be next?
Obama’s first big day as president-elect
Today Obama held a presser (transcript here) on the economic crisis and discussed some of the plans he’ll try to implement to bring the economy out of the funk it’s in right now. Frankly, he looked like a deer in headlights. In the process, he made a ‘joke’ of sorts about seances and Nancy Reagan (and he said it after a remark he made about consulting with presidents who were “still living“) that didn’t go over well, for which he has apologized to her personally. I’ll cut him a break on it because he looked like a bundle of nerves. I would too if I had that thin of a resume and I’d just been elected president. Time for responsibility. No more “present” votes. No more skipping out on important votes due to “campaign responsibilities.”
Time for another edition of “You might be a racist if”
You might be a racist if … you challenge the Obama campaign on their econ/tax policies.
