Ain't life grand for well-connected Wall Street fat cats? Both parties bail them out, they go back to paying massive bonuses, and now their business is buoyed by an implicit government guarantee because they have already been determined once to be "too big to fail." Yep, 6.5 million Americans lose their jobs and the bastards at Goldman Sachs have used federal bailouts to help them make $3.4 billion in the last quarter alone, and they've set aside $11.4 billion just for bonuses. And then we can get started on the other banks with their obscene profits and bonuses. It feels an awful lot like an oligarchy sometimes.
