Maybe its time for neighborhood bailouts since it seems everyone else has their hand out. It started out with insurance companies and banks being bailed out. Then American Express needs a bailout.

I don’t suppose that would have anything to do with the fact that they offer credit cards to anyone who is breathing.

I have a dog that gets approved credit cards fairly often. She is a pretty good dog, but probably not a very good credit risk; but then her ability to pay may be as good as some who are offered a line of credit. It seems the people who borrowed money for houses they couldn’t afford need a bailout.

I wish I had known this was possible when I bought my house, and I wouldn’t have been concerned with buying a house that I could afford.

Next, we have states that need a bailout and then of course, we need to bailout cities too.

The auto manufacturers are lining up for their bailout now. Why should we stop there? Our neighborhood could use a bailout too. Not much, just a million or two would do fine. It seems that we’ve reached a point where no one needs to be accountable for their debts. Let’s just bail everyone out.

No need to worry, because the taxpayers can easily pickup the bill.
