I voted for you twice. I had no choice.
So American Express wants $3.5 billion from the bailout stash.
I’m done giving money to these companies just so they can dish it out to employees who failed. Trouble is… I’m pretty sure Bush isn’t done. And I’m darn sure Obama has juicy list of targets for the $2 trillion in freshly printed bailout cash. Unions? Liberal enclaves with pension troubles. Oh.. let the fun begin with MY money.
My software company had a major customer cancel a large contract due to their own financial pressures earlier this year. Our senior people, including myself, went without pay for a few months to help overcome this setback. I suspect our year end “bonuses” will be non-existent.
I DON’T want a bailout. I want to STOP PAYING for other people’s bailout bonuses.
Our government has completely failed us in the last year. Completely.
