U.S. Pledges Top $7.7 Trillion to Ease Frozen Credit

Bloomberg.com: Exclusive

"Frozen" credit? How about calling this what it is: A $25,000 per person in the U.S. gift to cretins who ruined the system and now get a handout...at Our fucking expense.

Over at Talking Points Memo, a brief and urgent plea:

"Man the phones. Call. Call. Call. Your senators and representatives.

Demand unconditional transparency or forget it.

Over the course of the last several years I hope voters learned it's up to us to keep an eye on government because government sure as hell isn't up to the task. And sure as hell they'll screw up unless somebody is watching. And keep in mind this money is being borrowed. Interest on that borrowing makes the real cost way higher."
