No, I'm not talking about Vietnamistan, er, Afghanistan, I'm talking about the economy, stupid.
Not content with sinking the American way of life with politically-drive economic banking policies, Congress has decided to start from scratch. The Congressional Black Caucus got $4 BILLION added to legislation by good ol' Fuck-the-American-Taxpayers Barney Frank's committee, because we didn't provide enough cash in the last go round to provide low-interest loans to unemployed homeowners in danger of foreclosure. He added $1 billion for "neighborhood revitalization programs."
Among the caucus' other demands? "Greater assistance for minority-owned auto dealerships and banks that lend in African-American communities and more government advertising in minority-owned media."
History, apparently, isn't a big teacher in Congress, once again showing just how stupid and arrogant our elected reps are.

HERE'S WHAT THEY'RE WORTH
Since the Obama Administration has decided it will tell you how to spend your money — and piss it away by the trillions, they're doing — here's how "blue collar" some of these arrogant asses are.
Leading off the pack is California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa with a net worth estimated at about $251 million. Next in line: Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.), worth about $244.7 million; Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.), worth about $214.5 million; Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), worth about $209.7 million; and Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), worth about $208.8 million.
As far as the Executive Branch is concerned, Securities and Exchange Commission Chairwoman Mary L. Schapiro, has a net worth estimated at $26 million; Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is next, worth an estimated $21 million; President Barack Obama is the sixth-wealthiest (and remember, Mr. Hope and Change — as far as we know — has never worked in the private sector), worth about an estimated $4 million. Vice President Joe Biden has often tagged himself as an original blue collar man. At least he's telling the truth ...his net worth is around $27,000 and I think even I am worth more than that alive!
