Wow. $700 billion dollars.

Dear Max, Denny, and Jon:

Hey guys – I could use a bailout, too! I need a lot less than $700 billion. Maybe you guys could have the Feds print about $1 million for me? I would happily go away. If that’s not feasible, I could “survive” on half a million. It would be tough, but I would suck it up. No more cheap hamburger, Mac and cheese, and tuna for this boy! The government cheese would go, too. I could also buy a new Sony TV!

If you don’t help ME, I will not vote for you.

Sincerely,

Jack

It’s an election year and the Government is handing out money like a candidate throwing candy in a Fourth of July parade.

Someone asked me the other day, “Why is the government doing this?” Quickly putting on my economy hat (it’s small and does not fit well) and my political hat, I said, “It’s an election year and they are basically paying for votes and these companies have several donors who gives money to candidates.”

Look for Congress to quickly address this issue because it’s an election year. Since the Democrats control Congress, look for a few more billion to be added to “help the downtrodden.”

This whole mess sucks.
