Politics of Failure.
Both parties of congress have failed the American people.
Democrats and Republicans slither to and fro looking for warm meat to devour,
hoping to blame easy slow moving targets for the troubles of our foundering
ship.
The American people, rightly or wrongly, paid 170 billion
dollars for majority interest in AIG. Now we’re beating out what little value
of our investment has with gusto. We’re taking our $170 billion investment,
taking it to the financial version of demolition derby and pounding the hell
out of it.
Political rats, of all parties, are running for cover during
this political riot; they’re using every weapon and fictitious position they can think of to try to position
themselves for the post war crimes trials; and they’re looking for exit
strategies and alibis.
I am horrified that these guys at AIR got millions in
bonuses. I’m horrified that we spent 170 Billion for AIG in the first place.
I’m horrified that the Congress and Administration knew about these bonuses and
did nothing about it. I’m horrified that we’re flushing our 170 billion down
the toilet via the manufactured outrage of whoring politicians.
This is not change I believe in.
