You may well be correct and the more I think about this the more I wonder if that really is the case. I'm really wondering why it is, that all of a sudden action , no matter what action that may be, is necessary.
'Marry in haste ? Repent at leisure ?'
This crisis has been simmering away for nearly a year now and through it all its been steady as she goes, no need to worry. Fundamentals are good. Then all of sudden when it looks like the big end of town is going down the drain its all go.
'When in danger or in doubt , run in circles scream and shout.'
To me it is symptomatic of this administration. Looking more and more like a startled rabbit Bush reacts with panic. Why in heavens name if this is as big a crisis as it seems to be can't a bit of time be taken to scrutunise the package and fine tune as necessary.
From a cursory examination of the thing it really does seem to be completely one sided. Big end of town gets bailed out, taxpayer gets the bill and if and when things return to something approaching normality life for the big end will go on as before with no real compensation flowing back to aforementioned taxpayer.
But its all too important to have a quiet think about it. Gotta rush, Gotta run. Cos maybe just maybe if everyone did pause to reflect they would realise that the package is a turd sandwich and a very expensive turd sandwich at that.
It really is corporate socialism run riot.
As said, symptomatic of this administration. Might I remind you (collective you I mean ) that a lot of voices were raised suggesting the unseemly rush to invade Iraq should have been given some more considered thought but of course getting the "mission accomplished" was all important.
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
Not even my favourite Pink Floyd album but that just popped into my head.
(not that this is likely to happen cos I'm sure that once congress has had their two days off , the bill will be re presented tomorrow and passed.)
