I love this song and love it even more that there is a Sam Sparro version of it.

I cannot stop reading about the bailouts. Tuesday, September 23, 2008
In a commentary to CNN today, Ron Paul said exactly what I’ve been feeling:
Unfortunately, the government’s preferred solution to the crisis is the very thing that got us into this mess in the first place: government intervention.
Or what about too much government?
As if worse hasn’t already come to worst, decisions made from the proposed bailout will be ‘non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency’ and ‘any funds expended for actions authorized by this Act, including the payment of administrative expenses, shall be deemed appropriated at the time of such expenditure.’ (See A Bailout Above the Law by Andrew Ross Sorkin.)
Here’s a faux letter from the big mucky muck behind this proposal. While it’s a “bahaha,” it’s also a lot frightening because it is essentially what the government is asking of us.
This is crazy.
Words like “Seriously??” and phrases like “WTF?!” keep coming out of my mouth. I’m developing a complex from nonstop shuddering as these bailout talks slap me hard with deja vu: remember a certain crisis situation we suffered from 7 years back (ahem, 9/11)? And remember how our government did what it is trying to do now, which is take matters into its own hands (ahem, by going into war)? Yeah. That’s about as much comfort and assurance these talks are giving me.
I’ll wrap it up with this, as it pretty much sums up how I feel about the state of our nation as of late.
