The good news, now we can go charge things on our Citi-cards and then pay interest on money we've loaned to Citibank. Hat-tip to the inestimably wise alexamenos for this

it's like we're a bunch of hamsters in a cage....we work our asses off so we can buy more shit, and we can't stop buying more shit because if we do we'll lose our high paying jobs which allow us to buy more shit. meanwhile, our wives are working their asses off too so that we can pay the interest on credit cards that we used to buy more shit, and rather than spend time with our kids we buy them a lot of shit and send them to shitty schools which are paid with our ever spiraling property taxes, thanks to rising property values.
and at the end of the day fucking citibank owns everything.

ok, so I guess it's arguable whether citibank owns everything, but when we're sending them our dollars so that we can borrow our dollars back from them and pay them interest on money we loaned to them in the first place....well...you get the idea.
btw....George Bush is such a douchebag that even the Republicans in our midst have to acknowledge that theres quite a divergence between his statement that "History has shown that the greater threat to economic prosperity is not too little government involvement in the market, but too much" and his eagerness and reckless abandon as it comes to getting invoved in the market.
