Yes, we got a stimulus bill, but it's a pretty wimpy one, and it's a small fraction of the aid that we've given the banks. It may be that over time the policy will change. I hope so, but it sure looks right now as though we're headed <A HREF="http://cujo359.blogspot.com/2009/04/audacity-of-dopes.html" REL="nofollow">in the direction</A> bankers, and Wall Street in general, want us to go.<BR/><BR/>The record's been mixed on re-establishing the rule of law in government, but it's a slight improvement.

And I wish I could judge what's going on behind the scenes. In the grand scheme of things the bonuses are small potatos, though irritating ones. <BR/><BR/>Totally agree with electing progressives who will fight for Congress' budgetary and governance role. Obama isn't immune to the corruption of the power ironically left to him by the previous occupant. <BR/><BR/>Above all what we must NOT do is put the old bunch of crooks back in anytime soon. The few crooks Obama has kept on are nothing to the band of criminals who just left.george.whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10893495384863805805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885549900454136918.post-45002444347568419082009-03-17T22:33:00.000-07:002009-03-17T22:33:00.000-07:00Coordinated efforts almost seem counter to my natu...Coordinated efforts almost seem counter to my nature.
