"We can find trillions for a foolish war and for pompous, self-righteous high-rollers who wrecked their companies and the economy.

It's the blantly clarity of the scam, the rip off of money, the government giving money when loans go bad but letting the banks, etc. keep all the profits when deals go good.

(some call this "capitalism for the profits and socialism for the loses -- It's insane -- and we watch it happen right before our eyes.

AIG has gotten the most money for a bailout, ever: $150 billions dollars (enough to fund the Iraq War for a year and a half).

Today it announced that it's executives will get $13-billions dollars of end-of-the-year bonuses!
