Change

$150M down the drain while orphans bleed in the streets, single mothers endure the hardscrabble life, unemployed union workers live cardboard boxes and our seniors forego medication so they can dine on Friskers catfood.

Change and hope ain't cheap

Yes, Larry, the Bush legacy…

larry,
You might have a future in the Democratic party. You've figured out their game plan.

See…I post one snark-free…..and the jokesters come out. Can't win.

There's even a story about the inauguration costs, as compared to Bush, etc.

Seems as if the higher Obama inauguration costs are because of the much higher costs for security. Obama is, you know, wildly popular, unlike W., and so a whole bunch more people will be there today than came out to see the little cowpoke from Crawford.

Friskers? I thought that was top shelf.

"Better than Bush" is a slogan that's going to lose its luster quickly and "But it's Historical" will follow quickly as well.

The inauguration costs are obscene and were obscene with Bush, too. Along with the campaign, it's costing $1 billion to install Obama, and that doesn't include costs associated with all the other presidential candidates. It's golden parachutes and CEO compensation times 1000.

Yes, the costs are high. As I've stated before….America is a very rich country….the richest ever.

It's the priorities and the practice of governing the many for the sake of the wealthy few….where the problems reside.

How much was it again that was stolen in the financial industry holdup?

I don't know but all those financial industry fellows who paid for the inaguration might.

Rev,
If your posts are going to start being snark-free, it will take us a while to get used to it.

No money was stolen in the financial industry collapse, other than maybe Madoff and what the government stole from the taxpayers to give to businesses. The rest was LOST. In capitalism, in the stock market, money can be made or lost. It isn't a crime when it's lost, but it sure does suck.
