Last week, the Carlyle Group (spell that the Bush family, James Baker and a bunch of their rich Arab buddies) took a $16 BILLION dollar loss due to the sub-prime loan fiasco.

Then Bears Stern, one of the largest investment bankers lost over half it`s stock value in one day, and had to be bailed out buy Uncle Sugar (plenty of welfare for the ultra-rich).

There have been many idiotic things done in the US in the last 30 years, particularly the last 7. We were told that everything America had learned between 1873 and 1970 was wrong. We were told any regulation was evil. We were told to let the ultra-rich do as they wished.

Their final wish after they got the major war paid for by tax cuts was a scheme where the lower middle class would be systematically robbed via ARMs with balloon interest rates.

What sort of genius sets out to rob people with nothing?

What did they expect?

They made the money, now the world will pay the bill.
