And Rightly So!

My other partners here have been talking about this bailout bill.

I am going to try to find out all of the quotes from our Congress Critters promising that this is an investment and that the American People could possibly make a profit from this bailout. While I was at lunch, a co-worker of mine asked a GREAT question. If Congress, and by Congress I mean the socialist democrats, believe that “investing” taxpayer dollars to save our economy will return a profit, why in the name of Satan’s Left Testicle can I not take my Social Insecurity taxes and invest them ALL into the stock market, similar to the Thrift Savings Plan that federal employees and the military can do. I’ll be GUARANTEED more of a return (when you look historically, the stock market has always grown over time) if I put that money, MY MONEY DAMMIT - not Nancy Pelosi’s nor George W.’s, and choose what I want to invest it into, I won’t have to depend on higher taxes on the “rich” or the promises of my elected “representatives” that they’ll pay back those Social Security I.O.U.s they’ve been leaving in the Social Security Lock Box .

I thought it was a brilliant question. And, just like the releasing of oil from the Strategic Oil Reserves in an attempt to help with gas prices demanded by the Democrats, they seem to say that taxpayer “investments” in Wall Street will give the taxpayers a return. How ’bout I use my money instead of Uncle Sam redistributing it for me….

(use of “sneer quotes” quite intentional)
