What, me worry?
One thing is certain, the Feds are MAD all right. Stark, raving mad.
Post corrected 7/21: The original post indicated that the $455,000 was for every "man, woman, and child." I never said I was a wizard at math...

Somehow, they keep finding the money to bail out the Wall Street fat cats who abused our financial system... Bear Stearns, Fannie and Freddie, etc.
Free market economy, my rear end. We have a corporate socialist economy.
I actually had the chance to be on a conference call earlier this year with David Walker, the information he shared was very troubling. I'm glad the media is covering this, it's important people put it into a perspective that they will stop and think about.

when you put it in per person terms, well, that is a lot of debt.
