$1 Trillion MORE? I Have So Many Questions

How is it that we can afford to bail out incomprehensible corruption, negligence, and incompetence but we can't afford Medicare or Social Security? Oh. Wait. I know. We can't afford Medicare or Social Security because we bailed out incomprehensibly corrupt corporations.

How is it that we can afford to bail out these bastards but not fix our streets, electrical grid, highways bridges, subways, reservoirs, ports, and ship channels? Oh. Wait. See above.

When China and a "nuclear Iran and an increasingly aggressive Russia" (Wolf Blitzer) rattle their swords, how will we pay to raise an army, protect our country, equip our soldiers, heal our veterans, and provide GI bills now that we've just loaded our kids with another $1 Trillion in debt? Oh. Wait. See above.

How is it that bailing out incomprehensible corruption, negligence, and incompetence isn't pork, but building research centers and highways is pork? Oh. Wait. It depends on who gets it.

How can we afford to educate our kids from K through college? Oh. Wait. We can't.

How can we afford to subsidize a brand new renewable energy development program. Oh. Wait. We can't.

You watch. McPalin will take this Republican-engineered financial meltdown--AKA this flushing of our national treasure into the coffers of wealthy, crooked and incompetent Republican bastards like those who own the Carlyle Group--will be alchemized into yet another reason why Obama is a disaster waiting to happen.

This is pure Shock Doctrine.
