Bailout Frenzy

Who says Obama doesn't look like the guys on the dollar bills?  Slap on a wig and he looks just like Thomas Jefferson.

So the bailout misadventure continues.  This time it's speaker of the house, Madame Pelosiwho's out there brandishing the bailout bucket.  Some questions: What will we ultimately accomplish with all these bailouts? Where does this stop?  When do I get my bailout? If EVERYBODY gets a bailout, doesn't that take us right back to square one?

Thinking about this reminds me of what Wintston Churchill said: "We contend that for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle."  The same concept applies to government bailouts.

Seriously, when does it stop? Maybe I'll stop making mortgage payments so that I can be bailed out.

Love the quotes, btw.

Thanks for the comments.

The logical stopping point of this process is that one day everyone will end up being shackled to a wall...at that point, the world will enjoy all the prosperity that comes from total paralysis.
