This is the kind of statement that pisses me off

"The stock market was definitely taken by surprise," said Drew Kanaly, chairman and CEO of Kanaly Trust Company, referring to the House vote. "If you watched the news stream over the weekend, it seemed like it was a done deal. But the money is being held hostage to the political process."

Yes, I know we will all suffer. Yes, I know there will be serious problems. And I know that something has to be done to save the economy.

But my god listen to the sense of entitlement. How annoyed this guy is that people actually have a right to have representatives vote on this. It isn't being "held hostage by the political process." People don't want it. People's representatives have to vote for it, or you don't get it, Mr. Kanaly. Hearing rich people whine about how annoying it is that they just don't get the money and how anyone should vote on it at all is damn annoying.

That's why so many stock brokers are New York Yankees fans.
