Maybe we should pass the hat around and pay as we go. The military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan need a quick 33 billion.

People already know my opinion on this I would think.

Well, Goldman is doing their part to chip in today giving the government $550 million out of the goodness of their heart even though they did nothing wrong or broke no laws. Maybe we should seek other charitable contributions like that from upstanding law abiding firms and individuals if we turn over a few more rocks.

Stupid Bush, Stupid Obama, stupid wars.

I'm not going to blame one or the other, both have been and will go down as extreme failures, IMO.
