Well the European chickens are coming home to roost: France seeks $500 Billion Bailout for European Banks. I'm sorry, Jean-Pierre. I must have missed your apology for mocking the USA's fiscal morass last week. Sie auch, Klaus. Dum Arsch!
Meanwhile, the US Senate has started the process to simultaneously buy us off and sell us out. $200 million for Puerto Rican rum producers. $480 million for movie & TV producers. $109 million for NASCAR race tracks. What's another $200,000 for wooden practice arrow manufacturers? And why not another few million for the wool trust fund? Wool?!?
Hey, all this only adds another $100 billion to the package. Besides they threw in a couple mental health care provisions. We'll need it.
Pass the rum!
[Full Senate text here. At 451 pages of dense legalese, I'm still reading the introduction.]
