LSU Preseason injury report - with a mini rant
LSU meaning me of course.
I have been sidelined with a sprained wrist and pulled tendons, leftover from my ATV accident, and aggravated recently.
It makes typing hard, so I have to type a paragraph…wait….type another…rest…etc ad naseum.
I am feeling somewhat better and hope to return to normal blogging tomorrow. My hand cramps easily so I have to watch it.
But while I am here, I just have to make a few comments about the theater in DC over the AIG bonuses. You know what I mean, how AIG got a bailout, signed a bunch of employees to a contract for the retention bonuses, and then got not one but two more bailouts, finally paying out 165 million in retention bonuses.
And hoe congress knew about them at the final bailout, but removed any restriction on the bonuses at Geitner’s request.
And then how they turned on the moral outrage and went ballistic on AIG, and now are intent on taxing those who got the bonuses at a whopping 90% rate.
It is disgusting…no, not the bonuses, congress. Congress intends to use legislation and the IRS to target citizens who engaged in a legal contract for employment.
Sure, the bonuses are in bad taste, and AIG should have renegotiated them. Obviously we are disgusted.
But how does that excuse congress from legislative vigilantism?
Or even more important, who will be next to feel the phony outrage and wrath? And more important yet, what else is going on that this freak show is hiding?
You see not only is this a pure violation of power by congress, it is also a wonderfully orchestrated smoke screen and slight of hand. While they pick the pockets of AIG, they are selling more high risk bonds, maneuvering to expand the Fed’s power to seize assets and spending us into the dark distance future.
Obama and congress know you the average person are outraged by the bailouts so they arrange this kangaroo court to assure us they are on our side, never mentioning that while they might recoup a paltry 150 million back, they have still poured 170 BILLION down the AIG toilet. This is over less that 0.1% of the money we handed them.
And they are using it for a massive power grab, right under our noses.
Be afraid America, we may be seeing the New Socialist America being born out of the ashes of our liberty and Democracy.
