What would this bailout have cost in political careers? Ask some constituency.

“Executive compensation”?, please … ( weak “accountability” has its toll; measure and mete ).
Wage-earner terms “adjusted” by the judiciary … ( the mind boggles ).

Cover commercial paper with a soft wind-down.
“Moral hazard”, only *looks* good on paper.

Man-on-the-street outrage. I like that.

I find it interesting that there are no twelve-step groups for money addicts. Perhaps when we return to a more healthy understanding of capitalism we will remember that money, like oxygen, is a corrosive and exceptionally dangerous chemical that one would be insane to keep on hand if it were not a necessity to do so.

Interesting pay for “oversight”
Executive Level One, or over $500 a day for appointed members (plus expenses of course).
Moot point today,but Congress will sure have fun watching over the spending of the bailout funds.
I could use a gig like that!
