Cheesy Rider

April

Lottery jackpot-sized bonuses on Wall Street (the indisputable root of the short-term profit mentality that kicked off the recession) look to be back on track for ‘09. If you are willing to overlook the massive pile of rescue cash we shoveled into bank coffers, the bank numbers look pretty good so far. Of course those who calculate their bonuses based on the mere act of moving money around – and diligently skimming their personal share – are absolutely willing to overlook the origin (and purpose) of the money. As far as they are concerned, they did a great job. Vroom, vroom!

Matt:
I, too, like the training wheel stabilizers but shouldn’t the title should be “Sleazy Rider”?

Bonuses were the indisputable cause of the recession?????? How about the Community Reinvestment Act, ACORN agitaion and blackmail of banks to make sub-prime loans under threat of government sanction, the refusal of Dems to reform Frannie and Freddie, the loose monetary policy put forth by Greenspan, etc. But no, you decide to blame bonuses for the recession. Who gives out Pulitzers, Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground? Your populist demagaugery fits right in with their class warfare, divisive rhetoric. Seriously, do some research before you publish irresponsible cartoons.
