Actually we didn’t, and won’t any time soon. I am of course referring to those wild promises made just a few weeks ago about the bailout. It went something like this – “The bailout will give the American Tax Payer a name stake in  the Companies that they are lending to. We consider it a worthy investment that will reap profits for the taxpayer.”

According to NPR late last week (sorry I’ve been travelling and couldn’t tell you this earlier) in just 6 weeks the value of the stocks of the companies that we bailed out has managed to drop the value of our bailout 50% already. Given those types of investments I can see clearly how we got into this mess to begin with. Who hired these yo-yos? Oh thats right, WE DID.
