America Might Get Paid Back

Well, I was listening to the news because it interrupted a perfectly good footbal game. I heard a newscaster say that Tarp has ended and America might get paid back. Wow, thanks there Mr. Obvious. The fact that we might never get paid was clear when our government gave the money away. Either tell me legitimate facts like that money was flushed down the crapper and it is time for us to move on or that it was miraculously all paid back. You never know. Maybe Bill and Melinda Gates will loan them the interest from their foundation to give the taxpayers of the U.S. back their money. AIG is purported to have used their TARP funds to pay someone else back. While unconfirmed, this information is just as useful as the fact we "might" get paid back one day. We might also be visited by a fairy named Tinkerbell and fly away to Neverland to fight pirates with the lost boys. One thing is certain, our government is deciding who fails and who succeeds without good old fashioned business competition. With this in mind, be careful not to take the Pledge of Allegiance too seriously for a while. Our Republic is looking desparingly socialist at a time where the strength of business is her greatest hope.
