* These recent stories about bank CEO's spending millions and millions of dollars re-decorating their offices and mansions with their company checkbooks and our taxpayer bailout dollars, has just gotten me sick. Corporations and companies need to set up things called "budgets" on re-decorating CEO's offices and other business holdings. I realize that some big shots in big industries may not have ever heard of the word "budget" but most Americans deal with it every single day of our lives. Besides, there is no reason why a CEO should spend $87,000 on a rug. That is just obscene. Stockholders should rise up and try to institute some fiscal restraint in the area of corporate spending.
* I read a few articles that said that the Bush loyalists thought that the press and the new administration had been too critical of former President George W. Bush. Seriously? George W. Bush has left us with the largest financial disaster since the Great Depression. We have two wars, an attack on our country that occurred on his watch (9/11), massive unemployment, American auto industries on the brink of failure, over 4,000 Americans killed in Bush's unnecessary war in Iraq, New Orleans still recovering from the "handling" of Hurricane Katrina, our military stretched to the limit, states finding it difficult to maintain services, the public schools tied to a worthless and underfunded "No Child Left Behind", our diplomatic relations with foreign countries almost nonexistent, etc., etc., etc, and these Bushies think we should be praising Bush's catastrophic conditions he left for President Obama? Enough already!!!!
