Poll question: Has there ever been a more blatant theft of the treasury than the Wall Street bailout?
While I was composing this poll, I coined an adjective. "Screwful."

That Wall Street bailout was screwful.

1. followed closely by the money thrown to the MIC in the so-called 'war' on terror
between the two, more than ten million dollars looted.

2. We should have figured Bush's trillion dollar tax cuts for the rich were the first song.
Apparently he had an entire set list he wanted America to listen to.

6. NO. If the wall street bailout wasn't enough, the bastards then turned around and used our money....
to screw US with higher interest rates, higher fees and choke hold credit. Our congress is completely crooked and inept.
