18 Billion given for bonuses????

This is outrageous. LOOK I can't believe while I am drowning in debt with student loans, and can't get a car loan, these banks which have loaned nearly 350 billion at this point are now using it for bonuses for their star employees. Hey remember in the 4th quarter how our GDP shrank 4 percent, apparently Wall Street salaries are recession proof. This is just horrible PR for Wall Street and the Treasury Dept. Both need to get this straight quick before the outrage gets any louder!

Debate Tonight

The First Debate is tonight of course and unfortunately like many other people, I'll be working. The foreign policy section may be short, but look for the key differences on Obama and McCain. Obama will offer a solution that gets the American troops out of Iraq in 16 months. This will be an interesting debate considering the US will loan Wall Street unsaid billions of dollars in addition to the massive deficit it already holds. If Obama can successfully tie the billions a month that we needlessly spend in Iraq (while they run a surplus), with the financial security of our country, then Obama may see a spike in support among undecided voters.

This will be interesting.
