Hooray for capitalists, who can make a mess but get bailed out with taxpayer money! And we used to think the Soviet economy was inefficient....I wish I could cheat, lie and steal and get rewarded by the government.

When I 1st heard about the bail out it made me sick. Speaking of sick lucky me living in Cali is getting an IOU for my tax return. What else can they mess up now? Oh maybe I shouldn't ask....
