They transferred 1T of your money to Wall Street...and nothing anywhere says we are out of the hole yet. And some of the really good news...the amount of money to some of the houses on Wall Street doesn't even cover their existing BONUS debt to execs. But did they make sure that the money couldn't go to that? Nope.

I'd say you may want to hold off on congratulating them yet on that score.

Ooh..and increasing fuel standards...does that solve anything???? Really? Will it help Detroit...or will it continue to favor Japanese and Korean companies that already meet and exceed those standards. But wait...they'll still get to save the economy..by giving more than the 25B they've already guaranteed to the automakers to bail them out too.

So...they raised the min wage.

Hurray.

I'll be able to buy a couple more watermelons every July in celebration of my new National Holiday.
