Chrstmas With The Devil.

While I never really supported the Government bailing out big business I was pleased that they were demanding the big carmakers and their bosses curtail big bonuses and fancy perks. There were many questions and demands made by the panel when the Big Three’s leaders were in Washington begging for help for their mismanaged companies. The big boys from Detroit seemed willing to appease the Wahsington crowd with offers of small salaries and giving up using the corporate jets and such in exchange for the billions of dollars they wanted to keep their companies going. Sounds fair. If the taxpaying general population is going to help you you can’t continue to live above OUR means. But that is the automaking industry, not Wall Street.

In this holiday season when so many are homeless and living without so much because of the mis-deeds of those financial geniuses of the banking/mortgage industry it is appalling that they are still living the high life. On the backs of those they hurt so much. Their salaries are still high. The year end bonuses are still huge. $1.6 billion huge. Their corporate jets are still flying. The take home pay didn’t decrease a nickle. Their stock option bonuses are worth more this year than ever before. The only thing that has changed is that the taxpayers are footing the bill.

Santa Claus must be real in the eyes of the bankers. But if you look closely under the fur trimmed suit the pillows show and the skinny face of Uncle Sam is partially visable under that fake beard.

We, the taxpaying Americans are the elves fixing all of the problems.

And the only folks “Santa” is visiting are the already rich.

Here is Judith Owen and Harry Shearer doing that old Spinal Tap Christmas classic.

Happy Holiday with wishes of a better 2009 to all.
