Lobbyists are Trying to Jump on to the Bailout Bandwagon

As if this bailout bullshit wasn’t bad enough with the automakers looking for a handout and American Express getting reclassified as a bank so that they could also collect welfare we have no learned that lobbyists are lining up trying to cash in also. This is such a disaster, how could President Bush have thought that this was a good idea? I get so damned frustrated every time I read a new story about the bailout and it seems that ever day another group is looking to collect.

The Treasury Department is under siege by an army of hired guns for banks, savings and loan associations and insurers — as well as for improbable candidates like a Hispanic business group representing plumbing and home-heating specialists. That last group wants the Treasury to hire its members as contractors to take care of houses that the government may end up owning through buying distressed mortgages.

 Everybody is lining up with their hands out looking for some free cash while hard working Americans are going to foot the bill. We are working hard to pay the corporate welfare that these assholes are lining up to collect.

 How does it feel to get screwed? Not so good if you ask me.
