"You know what the bailout feels like? This is what it feels like:
You're walking down the street, minding your own business, when the guy in the scruffy clothes approaches you with his tale of woe. He used to be a productive member of society, he tells you, but then things took a turn, and lately he's been down on his luck and struggling to keep body and soul together. What he could really use, he tells you, is a dollar so he can get something to eat. He hasn't had a meal all day, and he's just a dollar short of a sandwich.
So you reach into your pocket and press a crumpled bill into his outstretched palm. He thanks you, and wishes you a wonderful day, and as you continue down the street, you cast one last glance over your shoulder and see the guy walk into a liquor store.
That's what it feels like. Only multiplied by 700 billion..."
You know, it says a lot when Rick Horowitz on the Huffington Post says the same thing as Michelle Malkin. If both conservatives and liberals hate this bailout, why is our congress, president, and the treasury secretary not listening?
