A Lone Sane Voice Crying Out in the Wilderness

One Wall Street trader specializing in oil speculation for Citigroup is about to be paid a $100 Million bonus. So far this year, taxpayer bailed-out Wall Street investment banks have set aside $72 Billion to pay such bonuses, up from a total of $60 Billion last year!
So, these incompetent corporate predators of no productive and redeeming social value who broke their companies creating paper assets out of thin air and paying themselves grossly unwarranted bonuses in reward for their avaricious c… Continue

Obama and the Democrat nitwits in Congress are proposing to spend $2.4 Billion of the latest "economic stimulus package" on ‘Carbon Sequestration’ schemes, another $400 Million on ‘Climate Change Research’, and $36 Billion in increased unemployment benefits.
