a) A bunch of people who weren't capable of managing their financial affairs in January of '08 are likewise incapable of managing their financial affairs in December of '08. No kidding.

Always, always, always the debate is between the party that thinks the government should do a helluva lot more (ie, Republicans) and the party that thinks that a helluva lot more isn't nearly enough (Democrats and Commies, but I repeat myself). |
