Ghouliani is a creepy corrupt SOB, so who gives a damn what he thinks about anything? He is not the Mayor (thank goodness) anymore, so his opinion is worth crap. Before these ridiculous over the top bonuses existed, people were frequenting restaurants in NYC. Leave it to Ghouliani and the Bush fear factor mentality which is what he used on his short lived campaign trail, to find a reason to keep enriching his fat cat friends on Wall Street!

That this clownish man, who financially capitalized on the tragedy of 9/11 was even considered capable of being President by the Republican Party was enough to make me gag, especially after he kept repeating September 11th almost daily in his campaign. I thought they couldn t get much lower than the Rudester and along came Sarah Palin..

He invoked 9/11 daily and at least 50 times per day. That might even beat his record for bringing up Reagan.

That guy is funny. I lived in NYC before and I ate out almost everyday and I shopped almost every weekend while making a lot less than those fat cats. Geez, almost everyone I know in NYC ate out everyday. Who cooks at home when grocery is freaking expensive, work long hours, kitchen small as hell, restaurants every other stores, etc. It is a common culture. He doesn't make any sense.

It is no fluke that Giuliani completely blew the presidential primaries. His judgment is flawed & he is totally out of touch with America. Just another typical Republican

Maybe the government should send every one of us a big fat check for a dinner in a five star restaurant and tickets to a Broadway show and we can make up for what the fat cats aren't able to spend.

Default What Happen to our country?

Whose to blame for the mess we are in?

Greedy Idiots that exploited our tax money?

The Republicans that allowed the 2nd Great Depression?

If he's talking about owners / employees of companies being "bailed out" by the federal government, then, for once, I'll have to agree with the left-wingers on this issue. You get in bed with the government, you'll wake up with an STD (socialism-transmitted disease). The devil may reap what is his.

If, on the other hand, Don 9/11 is talking about companies not selling their soul for a "bailout", then for once I'll have to agree with him. Top money brings top talent, and top talent brings top performance, even in an "economic crisis" (engineered by the feds). Limit that, and top talent will leave this country. Hope you know how to say "would you like fries with that" in Cantonese...
