Wall Street addicted to emergency funds, now at $38.4 billion per day

Dammit, when is Congress or heaven forbid, a presidential candidate going to get serious about this? People on both sides of the isle are fuming about these handouts to the people who have created this recession. Of course nobody wants to trigger major bank failures but for goodness sakes, we keep giving and are not seeing any signs of cutbacks from Wall Street. A lot of the taxpayer money is going right back in to help them finance their bonus system and when these people wrap up the year, bonuses will be as high or higher than last year. It's the American public who will be financing those bonuses and guess what they get in return? A swift kick in the ass, loss of a job or house and a new demand for tax cuts.

The time to negotiate with this bunch is not two years from now, but now. Wall Street never hesitates to demand "what's in it for me?" and this is exactly what we ought to be asking from them today. It also makes me wonder why we only see nastiness between Democrats running for President instead of that same aggression against Wall Street and the damned GOP who started this. How could anyone possibly have faith in a Democratic candidate who can only attack a fellow Democrat and not the owners of this? Wall Street borrowing is up 200% in three weeks and you would never know it by the pathetic doddling in Washington. It looks like the Democrats are ready to let yet another key issue slip through their fingers.
