Neoconservative Fiscal Policy Declared Dead on FAUX News

According the Old Gray Lady, on Sunday the Bush-Cheney junta's Secretary of the "Treasury," Henry M. Paulson, Jr, made a very interesting statement while shilling for a taxpayer-funded bailout of wealthy investment bankers and those who ensured them that does nothing to help economically distressed, lower income homeowners who struggle daily to obtain the basic necessities of life such as potable water, food, fuel, and shelter.

“I hate the fact that we have to do it, but it’s better than the alternative,” Mr. Paulson said on “Fox News Sunday.”

Translation: admitting ideological defeat is better than allowing the situation to deteriorate to the point that my friends and I might not be able to keep our entire unfair share of wealth indefinitely.

The Bush administration’s uniquely corrupt brand of crony capitalism ultimately leads to the mistreatment of wounded veterans at Walter Reed Medical Center. Campaign contributors line their pockets by denying decent medical care to thousands of veterans.
