Though I’d hoped the sleepless nights from worrying about Bush’s trashing of the country were finally over, it does seem kind of fitting that his terrorist administration should end with one final, gargantuan assault (adding further insult to countless prior injuries) against his own people.

Assuming that Bush’s finance team is as incompetent as the rest of his administration has been, it would behoove us all to call our senators and representatives as soon as is humanly possible to protest any attempt to leave future generations of everyday Americans holding the bag, (possibly trillions of dollars in bad loans and debt) so that the rich, greedy, outrageously-leveraged, investment bankers don’t have to.

As Robert Reich (Clinton’s money man) said recently, the remedy for the turmoil on Wall Street should be bankruptcy for the mismanaged companies and more (and more transparent) regulation of the banking sector into the future.
