I have to tell you, I'm so sick, of the never ending stream, of companies, that are supposedly, too big to fail and thus, once again, they are asking, American, taxpayer's, to bail them out! Back in 2008, American taxpayer's, bailed out Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac, to the tune of 169 billion dollars. Now, I hear, in the news, that they are again, asking, American taxpayer's, to pony up another, six billion dollars because it seems, they run a bit short this passed, business quarter. However, rest assured, they will make sure, to hand out bonus checks, in the amount of 12.9 million to all those hard working corporate executives isn't that nice?. I guess, they figure, that we, as American, taxpayer's, should be greatful, that they are only, six billion dollars in the hole, after all, after you have already borrowed, 169 billion from, American taxpayer's, well, what's another, six billion more?
Let's see now, in the last month, American taxpayer's, have been left on the hook, for no less, than two failed solar companies namely, Solyndra, and Beacon Light. As I recall, the Sollyndra Solar company picked, the American, taxpayer's pockets, for some, 527 million dollars. The Beacon Power Solar company received, a mere, 43 million dollars in guaranteed government loans. Don't worry though, Sollyndra, was still, able to pay out bonuses, ranging, from 37 to 60 thousand dollars to each, of their top excutives, before declaring bankruptcy. I don't know about you, but, I think, the next time, the government tells, American taxpayer's, that a company or a bank, or a corporation, is just too big to fail, I think, we as American taxpayer's, should tell the government, our pockets, are just, too small, and frankly, too empty, to care! As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
