The Bush administration's profiteering sleazyness trickles down this time to the housing market. People are being evicted from their houses faster than the banks can process the paperwork, contractors are walking away from partially completed projects, slum lords are raising rents to cover soaring energy costs. Worse, the lies and schemes that initiated all this in the first place, are now being re-spun to protect (read:bail out) the corporations instead of the people. Mr & Mrs Middle Class Homeowner: See ya. Bear-Stearns: We'll find ya a buyer. And there is still 30% of the population that agree with this on-going screw-job (now in its 8th year)?
The old adage about directly profiting from the business came into his mind like a pleasant dream ending with an obnoxious alarm-clock, "the Presidents approval rating is at 30%* because that is the number of people that are on the government payroll."** Is there a bell sounding here, a red flag waving, an alarm screaming? Can you hear it?
It's just a shout away.
