I call him...Dairy Queen.*

I’m sure someone has already made this argument, but I try not to read other peoples’ arguments, because they make me feel…argumentative. And if I were on the Real World, I’d be the stereotypical “please-can’t-we-all-just-get-along” cast member. So, pardon me if this has already been said…but it seems to me that this whole bailout scheme is just a big financial cane toad. Why, throughout history, do we keep trying to kill off one pest by sending in a larger, harder to kill pest? Who decided that the best way to solve a problem was to do the same thing that created the problem TIMES A MILLION?

America: We’re sorry government, but we borrowed more than we could afford and now we’re fucked!

Government: Hey, we have a good idea! How about we let you borrow some money we can’t afford?

America: Great idea! You guys are such mavericks!

*If you are part of the problem (like me) and are now looking for cheap entertainment, see if you can pick up a copy of “Cane Toads: An Unnatural History.” Best documentary EVER. I don't know what's weirder, cane toads or Australians.
