The Worm Turns

Oh yeah....NOW we start to see the "harsh new regulations" on the banking industry:

Public-private investment partnership? No, this is just another way for the bloated and corrupt financial sector to continue to rape the average taxpayer to the tune of billions of dollars. And why not? I mean, look at every other major company in this country that got "slapped" by the hard economy - failed industries who should NEVER HAVE GOTTEN A HANDOUT had billions of dollars handed to them, in order to let them CONTINUE TO FAIL??? Geithner keeps lobbying for more power to fire CEO's and such - but Rick Wagoner, the recently-fired CEO of GM, was also allowed to keep his severance pay and bonuses, which came out to him being paid roughly $20 Million just to leave.

When the corporations left the taxpayers out to dry, they got rewarded. The current administration is completely incompetent, and what's worse, they continue to operate in such a way that they're KILLING OUR ECONOMY. WHY are we throwing billions of dollars away on foolishness? Why is our moron President agreeing (as I write this) to global economic changes that will probably put us out ANOTHER couple of billion dollars (simply to float the globoal economy for another 6 months, given Obama's track record). Obama needs to clue up. His handlers need to EDUCATE HIM, instead of letting him be so D***** dependent on someone else's words on a teleprompter. He needs to actually start having opinions on things: (story here ). Frankly, if he can't run the country, we need to get him out of office and put someone in who's NOT a corrupt idiot.

The Islamic religion offers an unusual view of the signs leading up to the coming of the Anti-Christ:

People will stop offering prayers
Dishonesty will be the way of life
Falsehood will become a virtue
People will mortgage their faith for worldly gains
Usuary and bribery will become legitimate
Imbeciles would rule over the wise
Blood of innocents would be shed
Pride will be taken on acts of oppression
The rulers will be corrupt
The scholars will be hypocrites
Adultery will be rampant
Women will dress like men, and men will dress like women
The liars and treacherous will be respected
There will be acute famine at the time

If there's anything to this Hadith, then we should all watch out - but I'm not one to speculate on such things. I don't feel like being "right-wing religious nut" today, but I thought that it was an interesting little bit of information.

Someone, ANYONE in the government: please start acting responsibly. I give you guys my tax-money, I vote for you and let you have control over me at a national level. We all do - it's part of being a citizen. But you won't always be in charge. The next generation will eventually take that power from you (in the same way you took it from the last generation). And when we're in charge, you'll want us to be responsible with your and your family's money. You'll want us to be good leaders that won't cripple your children's children with unnecessary debts and foolish, false ideas about "responsibility".

So start setting a good example, already!!
