Bailout... (aka: Just call me another one of those crazy liberal tree-huggers!)
Just listened to an interview with the Deputy Trade Minister of South Africa discussing world reactions to today's approval of the $700 billion bailout bill.
One sobering comment of his:
"$700 billion is double what it would take to lift the world's population of poverty stricken persons out of poverty..."
Kinda puts it all into perspective, eh?
So, tell me again, why should we be handing $700 billion to a bunch of greedy corporate big-wigs who happened to make lousy business decisions? Fuck them.
