The "New" Plan

I've been reading about Pres. Obama's "new" toxic asset purchase plan -- the same as the old plans (plural). Plans from the Bush admin and from the Obama admin. It does appear the takeover of our government by Wall Street is complete. It's another tails they win, heads we lose situation.

Too bad. I did have some hope for a truly liberal (if not truly progressive) administration. I fear it's just more of the same -- with a kinder face.

I hope I'm wrong.

By the way, these assholes have no idea what "socialism" is. According to the Republicans of today, Eisenhower would be a "socialist", as would Nixon. We've moved so far right that forty years ago, Obama would have been a "Young Republican" -- and today they call him a "socialist".
