[ayabe]

Let's not forget that the gods of the free market GS and the credit rating agencies all had a huge part to play in creating this mess.

So it's not just socialism, though I can see the circle jerk has already begun in earnest.

Also, who is getting bailed out? Big banks in France and Germany, sound familiar?

Judging by the deficit increase, not long. Wishing for the Bush spending years seems wrong somehow. But I'll do it anyway.:\

If you're asking me, HELL NO.

Stop contemplating and get to doing. My 30 years of pay in is already forfeited so the next 20 can go into my pocket.
