It?s A Dirty Job?

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

Okay, let’s all be honest, no one is crazy about writing a check for $700 billion to bailout a bunch of people who made bad decisions.  

However, the problem is what would happen if we did nothing.  As much as I would love to see a lot of people get their up-comings, someone has to be the grown-up here.

Think of it as a parent whose kid gets arrested.   You can leave him their indefinitely or you can let him sit for a while.  My father did the latter and somehow it worked.

I don’t think it’s the best deal in the world and I don’t think it’s the worse deal.  It could use some improvements definitely.

But as much as it costs to do something, it would have been a lot worse and cost a lot more to do absolutely nothing.

Now if you don’t mind, I’m off to go run up a bunch of bills so I can qualify for my government bailout.
