I take it, you didn't mind this account bail-ing out the banks,

or paying for a war;

Just the unemployed.

People who buy those things do so because they can easily afford it. It'd be pretty sad if these people who are at risk of losing their homes have those things. Well, not so sad. I'd like to thank them for giving more than they can afford to our capitalist pockets.

The War (by that I mean Iraq), I definitely did mind. I hate the commander in chief decisions made around that war.

Regarding banks, why would I, as a tax payer mind that? That would make no sense.

Also, regarding the unemployed... I'm not so sure I'm against the bill. I just prefer other measures of job creation. This bandaid approachh of UI us onlyyy good for so lonng.

Yea, but by the looks of it, they aren't going to be the ones paying off AP. Looks like it will be a couple generations forward.

Imagine that, I also bought what I could afford, But dont come in here telling people they are slackers because they want a job that will make their house payments and for the most part that is not a $10 an hour job!
