>>$6 Million Golf Course for Members at $33 Million Lakeside Retreat<< Sounds less than some of the individual bailout CEOs are getting in bonuses. On a per member basis, it's a couple hundred bucks.

The stories of waste, fraud, and abuse that are going to come out of these bailouts are eventually going to infuriate people. Just wait until you see the pork that will be put in the $1 trillion + stimulus package in January! Unfortunately, the distaste for all of the pork in the first $700 billion bailout of the financial institutions didn't last more than a week. (Remember the wooden arrows, Puerto Rico Rum subsidies, etc). Politicians were just testing the waters on how much they could get away with on that one. Since the minimal outrage disappeared after the first week of that one, they'll be encouraged to be even more brazen this time. They'll be fearless ..... and they'll no doubt get away with it. Hold on to your wallet. Sad. Congress has never been happier now that the checkbook is wide open. Term limits ..... Pat

yeah it's as criminal as the banks getting money or 5% loans from the govt and then charging people 30% on the same money via credit cards etc.... the only entity not getting bailed out is the most important one on the list imo, the people.....they get what they always get, the shitty end of the stick......and CON gress just voted themselves a nice fat pay raise.....how convenient and downright nifty it must be to vote for your own raise.... what a bunch of hoo hah this country has become..... next year it will be every man for himself as the USSA titanic hits the mudflats on the bottom of the sea....
