Sorry but I have to vent

Our legislators made poor decisions that led us into this financial crisis.  Now they are grilling AIG and other company executives for bonuses that they are legally obligated to pay out to their employees. 

Why aren't people outraged at our legislators?  They have as much responsibility for this mess yet they keep all of their pay and benefits? 

I think we should propose a bill that they forfeit at least 1/3 of their pay until they "fix" the problem their policies caused. The fact that they are the ones pointing the finger and calling the shots at these failed companies is unbelievable.  Talk about being a hypocrite! I also can't believe that the public isn't directing their anger toward them like they are toward these big companies. 

Sorry for the negativity. I feel better now.  Well, not really.

What do you think? Anyone want to help me draft this bill and get signatures?!

I really hate to leave on such a sour note so here is something to brighten up your day:

Nevin, I'm with you on this topic my friend. Poor decision and policy making led to this mess.

However, half of the ones who made these decisions are now out of office for one reason or another.

I say our elected officials should just stop finger pointing and fix the problem. No one person is solely to blame. It was a collected effort.

By the way, nice save there with the "brighten up your day" video!!!
