I was reading an article in Newsweek about why the government is bailing out certain large financial institutions, while letting others, like Lehman, fail. This quote certainly states it in a way that truly puts it into perspective for us laymen who don't speak the stock broker lingo. "Fannie Mae wasn't too big to fail, one Wall Street wag told me this week. It was too Chinese to fail."
Also, very typical of our current administration, those companies who participated in the most reckless financial behavior, putting not only their own company's future at risk, but many others - those are the companies getting the bailouts. Nice isn't it? It's way better off to have been a huge screw up than to have done your best to take calculated risks and be responsible.
I hope those damn Evangelicals are getting this. How much is it going to matter whether abortion is legal when our entire economy collapses?
