>> The Bailout Is a Bargain Since you're a left wing nutjob, I would expect you to believe this. Whether it works remains to be seen. I believe Bush did what he thought was right. But to suggest that the taxpayers got a "bargain" is absurd. >> The truth: No one's paying new taxes directly related to the bailout. No, no one is. We've put trillions on the credit card but it is a fact, we haven't gotten the bill yet. But it is obviously coming at some point down the road. More of that cash vs. accrual stuff that you don't have the foggiest concept of.

Anyone who takes tea with friends will tell you: The parties are painless. It's the gossip that hurts. In the same way, today's antitax, antispending movements aren't the problem, it's the dangerous misconceptions they spread about the government response to the financial crisis. We are fortunate that the Rs have lost considerable credibility. As the poll showed this AM, people are listening to the president and what he says, not the Rs. Of course the downside to that scenario would be if the president was fukking up like Bush. Fortunately, that's not the case with this president.
