Excessive crying over the economy? Gov't has the answer

Yes, this is 1976 all over again. Next will come the Misery Index. Just wait and see. They now want to tell us all how to cope with Obama's war on prosperity. Here's the link if you can stop crying long enough to click on it.

AIG executive bonuses allowed by the Stimulus Bill

In light of the recent show of "outrage" among members of Congress, I thought it important to point out the specific language that was added by Sen. Chris Dodd that is at the source of the controversy surrounding AIG. The quote blocks below contain the provisions in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (aka Spendulus/Porkulus Bill) that allowed $165 million in bonuses to be paid under contract to AIG employees. It is important to point out that our elected representatives who voted for this bill did not read it and thus did not know these provisions existed. Now, they are feigning outrage when they could have prevented this flap entirely.

‘‘(D)(i) A prohibition on such TARP recipient paying
or accruing any bonus, retention award, or incentive compensation
during the period in which any obligation arising
from financial assistance provided under the TARP remains
outstanding, except that any prohibition developed under
this paragraph shall not apply to the payment of longterm
restricted stock by such TARP recipient, provided
that such long-term restricted stock—

‘‘(IV) For any financial institution that received
financial assistance provided under the TARP equal
to $500,000,000 or more, the prohibition shall apply
to the senior executive officers and at least the 20
next most highly-compensated employees, or such
higher number as the Secretary may determine is in
the public interest with respect to any TARP recipient.
‘‘(iii) The prohibition required under clause (i) shall
not be construed to prohibit any bonus payment required
to be paid pursuant to a written employment contract
executed on or before February 11, 2009, as such valid
employment contracts are determined by the Secretary or
the designee of the Secretary.

Funny take on torture

This guy has balls

He rolled out a $3.55 Trillion (with a 'Tr') budget just last week. Now he says,

"These kinds of irresponsible budgets — and inexcusable practices — are now in the past. For the first time in many years, my administration has produced a budget that represents an honest reckoning of where we are and where we need to go."

Are we all alone? I mean, those of us who see this bullshit for what it is. Since this assclown took the oath of orifice, the stock market has lost more than $3 Trillion (with a 'Tr'). The Dow was somewhere around 9k. Now, just 6 weeks in, it is at a level not seen since Bill Clinton held the orifice.
