Keep knitting, madam.

You readers cannot all understand your point for doing this, but certainly some of us get it.

 

[thanatos144]

you mean politicians might be trying to help the banks that gave them money? When has this started happening? That was sarcasm by the way

Not sure this kind of money turns the heads of our political class these days.

A bipartisan problem, eh? Corruption in Washington runs deep.

Is it corruption? Is it against the law? It might be unethical but I don't know if it is corrupt.

Well they certainly won't be writing a law that taxes "THEIR" money received through ill gotten means from bail out cash like they did the AIG people will they?

Politicians are rotten to the fuckin' core. Just as long as they're in on the take, all is good. Nothing going on here. Sons a bitches.
