"See, mah job comes with fed-er-ally guaranteed retirement benefits. And in this country, anyone can become Preznit, just like me. That's what they call the beauty of the system. With enough hard work and determination, you too can be Preznit and you won't have to live in to a dumpster when you turn sixty-five."
Well he's been raping the treasury for 7 or 8 years now so I guess it was time for a last hoorah before the neocon/bigbiz puppet leaves office. So bang us all for a few 100 billion to prevent some big cheese Wall Streeters from loosing their jobs and to maintain the status quo.
"Money is this stuff, ---See? They has it in Banks 'n . . . other places.
You know whut Ah'm gettin at, right?
Ah mean . . . we buy stuff with it, with stuff that is. We buy stuff with stuff. 'N thet's how some people get it. By gettin it.
The rest of the people, tha ones thet don't . . . put food on the family, so to speak . . . they're the rest of the . . . the people. Not the first ones. 'N sometimes they sell shorts.
This is just the tip of the icecube here.
We're on a learnin rollercoaster . . . .if you ever been on one---Ah wuz ---Ah think it wuz at King's Domininin, or sumpthin lahk that---'N it went real fast and then we wuz hangin with ar heads lookin down 'n it wuz lahk bein' in a plane with some bad pilots lahk those ones thet crashed the Towelheads---Ah mean Towerts in New York . . . . . . . . "
Grace, not remembering the details of Arbusto I found this link which cites Arbusto was funded in part by OBL's brother...investments which we know Bush squandered. I wonder if 911 was in part OBL's revenge for his brother's financial loss?

"....uuuuhhhh, cost driver!"
"..what was all that crap my teacher said in college again, damn it!"
