Couldn’t just keep it limited to private email threads any longer:

Most people will be wondering in a few years why their student loans and their kids’ student loans never seem to go away, why we’re 75 and still working; not owning a home; no hope of retirement.

20 years ago, after the S&L taxpayer bailout (only $125 billion) they realized that the ‘middle class’ actually has more debt than assets, and they declared the decline of the middle class. They lamented that to be middle class means taking on massive debt for a home and college education beyond the value of your assets. I can only imagine what we’re in for now.

The government chooses to dole out corporate welfare, against social security money and the like. It’s amazing – if you’ve ever witnessed what the government puts a battered woman through to try to get welfare (approx. $300/month in CA), a nonchalant handout of this magnitude to a bunch of gamblers is beyond hateful.

Also interesting:

The same attorney who prosecuted Charles Manson (Vincent Bugliosi) wants to prosecute Bush for murder when he leaves office early next year. He’s enlisted a woman running for the Attorney General position in Vermont named Charlotte Dennett; if she wins they’re going for it.
