As America girds itself for another round of lunatic political infighting over which barely-respirating social program or urgently necessary federal agency must have their budgets permanently sacrificed to the cause of billionaires being able to keep their third boats in the water, it's important to point out just how scarce money isn't in certain corners of the public-spending universe.
In the coming months, when you watch Republican congressional stooges play out the desperate comedy of solving America's deficit problems by making fewer photocopies of proposed bills, or by taking an ax to budgetary shrubberies like NPR or the SEC, remember Christy Mack and her fancy new carriage house. There is no belt-tightening on the other side of the tracks. Just a free lunch that never ends.
So....no mention of Dems???? Its the repub stooges responsible for this? Yes John, its the evil rich people screwing the poor again.
Keep in mind some basic facts - the money was
lent to institutions/firms to loan. yes, there were ridiculously favorable conditions, but the money needed to get into the economy and the govt (that be the Dems) wanted to get it into the economy at all costs.
