Why should it be foreign to spend public tax money on directly benefiting the general public?
Rather, the govt would rather cater to the interests of a small group of wealthy individuals ...... individuals who want to increase their wealth at the expense of the general public.
Well, it turns out that the large private banking institutions and manufacturers have turned out to be greedy, selfish bastards who have no concern for others and don't even want to accept responsibility for the financial collapse they have created.
If you think that small 5% to 6% of the population whose asses you have kissed are going to spend enough of their money to keep the economy going ...... you're as crazy as the Congress.
The fact is that the same people who created this mess are in control of the so-called recovery.
And not only have they not been forced to give up their ill-gotten gains (the profits they made while destroying the system), but they are receiving tax moneys from people without jobs to divert into their pockets.
Garry Shandling last night on the Tavis Smiley show called these people "money addicts".
Why was Obama or anybody else surprised that these people continued to give themselves bonuses after receiving public money ?
If you give a cocaine addict a big pile of cocaine, do you think he/she is going to share it around with their family, friends and neighbors ?
No, they're going to keep it all for themselves to shove up their own noses.
Wake up .....
There are people who know what to do ...... for example Nouriel Rubini and Nassim Taleb (author of the Black Swan) ....... but doing the right, rational thing for the public, the country and the world economy goes against the interests of a small group of people who put us in this mess.

The govt's approach is wrong and things will continue to get worse.
