We're actually not 'all' paying for it but 50% are chipping in. Don't tell anyone but actually the top 10% earners are footing 68% of the bill, with the top quarter accounting for 85%. And they need to be paying more.

Now Cash-For-Clunkers was certainly a program that assisted corporate owners on the backs of taxpayers as were corporate bailouts that were never or partially paid back and the half billion to Solyndra was simply an 'inside' theft.

The only way to control spending by both sides is to deny them funds. Every incumbent that voted to raise the debt ceiling last go around should be voted out. They weren't duped by the Super Committee promise; they were in on it as was the President.

Next time they come with a plea to raise the ceiling they need to come with a list of a couple trillion worth of cuts they're willing to enact immediately. Or not come at all.

what has all this babbling got to do with the banking industry, wall street, and congress all making money off the current economic situation? the govt isn't making any money, but the members of congress are. or are you completely ignoring the insider trading stories currently in circulation?
