greed and corruption

Congress is rushing to put together a HISTORIC, 700+ billion dollar bailout of our financial institutions brought about by greed and corruption at the highest levels, all the way down. Still, the local contractors arent worried a bit somehow. They smugly suggest that all is well-THEY will get THEIRS, and apparently thats all they are concerned with. They can bank on their usual 300%, 400%, and more profits from the Mayor and the Council to see them thru. That their neighbors (who are paying the contractors outrageous profits with their taxes) are losing their jobs, homes, and futures bothers them none. THEY are getting THEIRS. They are confident that, when the well is dry, like the federal government, they will be bailed out and more funds raised to continue to pay them their outrageous profits. Much like the oil companies, we are being hosed BIG TIME.
