$2.9 Million won't even cover one day's worth of interest for the $1 trillion bail out the Dems are mulling over.

Oh I agree - however, I still find it ridiculous that people who make almost three times that amount a year are getting money from us.

By a very slim margin, yes but you know as well as I do that this didn't come from them, it came down from Paulson and Bernanke.

You know I'm not defending the dems- they manage to screw things up almost as bad as the R party, but the R's have managed to f*** things up pretty bad on their own, too.

And as a matter of fact, the Democratically controlled House just rejected Obama's request for the rest of the TARP money, there might be some hope left for the 111th congress....

Another interesting tidbit from the Clinton Files:

Bill & Hill have a house in Conn.
It has a small guest house as well.
They rent the guest house to the Secret Service for the agents protecting the Clintons.
