BAILOUT: 2008 bailout compared to other large government projects


It’s so huge!  Imagine if we can find the political will to spend such massive amounts of money on education, the environment, or health care.  Certainly, we could alleviate a majority of civilization’s troubles.

    This poem that I found kind of says it all:

    Bailout 2008, a poem by David Jeffrey

    Like a bloodied warrior,
    laying broken and torn.

    Like a dying soldier, hopeless and forlorn.

    But the blood, it be green,
    the color of money.

    And the soldier is an economy,
    and it is anything but funny.

    Broken are it’s people and shattered are their dreams.

    Thanks to the ultra rich and their full proof schemes.

    It is a tragedy with more pain to come.

    Finance will be Hell, and their wills will be done.

    that poem is bang on. Financially we are screwed. Loose and irresponsible policies where credit was concerned got us here

    Madonna sold a nudie pic of herself for $37000 today. I guess that is a sure sign that we are officially in a financial recovery.

    This David Jeffrey poems are awesome. I found another:

    Awakened with a Kiss by David Jeffrey

    A love unknown to me, but growing day by day.

    Residing within my heart, where it chose to quietly lay.

    Days and years went by and ever stronger it did grow.

    Real love lay right before me and little did I know.

    I played in false romances, growing more bitter with each pain.

    But always, confiding in my dear friend, time and time again.

    Till a warm summer night, and with reckless might, she took me in her arms.

    And with a kiss, the love emerged and I was awakened to it’s charms.
