[Jenifer Cartwright]

Well... there were all these golden parachutes... One, e g went to fired HP exec Carly Fiorina for $21 million (plus stock options)... McCain is on record as saying that was fine, Carly's a good person and she worked hard....

This plan isn't as clever as it seems -- like another posted here recently,
it dropped a few decimal points.  Dividing the AIG bailout by the US adult
population yields more like $425 per adult, not $425,000.

It's interesting to divide the national debt, nearing 10 trillion dollars,
by the population.  *That* amounts to more than $30,000 for every person
in the country.

Could that explain why the balance in our IRAs, etc., is dropping precipitously from month to month?  Could we actually be paying off the national debt?  If not, where on earth is the money GOING?  Who's getting it?  Does anyone know?
