| 16. Thanks for speaking frankly about the Pampered Behemoth Brat. |

With all the disdain the 1% heaped on the possible 5% fraud rate that mandated cutting welfare for the poor-- I remember that-- pushing Clinton Gore to cut welfare because fraud could be as high as 5%-- using Papa Reagan's "welfare queen" beggin in the day and driving off in a Cadillac at night as an ugly and very easy stereotype.
I remember those mean discussions on the media. Condemning welfare fraud welfare fraud welfare fraud-- Yikes! Maybe as high as 10! -- and I kept thinking at the time-- how about the NINETY percent that really need it for a while? What about the 95% that need help? But yet another Democrat was pushed into proving he wasn't a hippie by cutting Democratic compassion legislation.
And here we are with the Pampered Brat Behemoth begging for one more bailout. Shifting their gambling debt onto their mom & pop depositors. Moving derivative debt onto us, John Q Public and family.
But that's how it has been here in the USA for a while now. You must steal big to get away with it. 5% and you get smashed down. 100% fraud and you get a second bailout and now, maybe a third.
Life here has become phenomenally absurd.
