The bailout soup line is getting longer and longer. Heck, it is around the block. It seems since the automakers got their chuck of bailout cash that more and more groups are getting into the action.
Now property developers and managers are letting the government know that thousands of hotels, shopping malls, and commercial buildings are headed into foreclosure and bankruptcy unless the government steps in and helps.
The industry is looking for a piece of the $200 billion the government set aside for car, student loans, and credit-card debt.
We got it. We are all hurting. But does this qualify you for a government bailout and just when did this “you owe me” mentality start anyway? Certainly the country was not founded on it.
If this is the new mentality than everyone should get in line…
Starbucks Barista’s – With coffee sales down 100% and no one buying mocha-frappa-asiago coffees, your tips are way down – get in line!
Movie Ticket Taker – Come on. Blockbuster, cable and downloading off the Internet are cutting into your action in this time of cut backs – get in line!
Wal-Mart Greeter – Hell, your position is downright dangerous as people push each other to find a deal on a Beanie Baby – get in line!
Fur Coat Maker – Between the political incorrectness of buying a fur coat and the damaging economy, you must be hurting – get in line!
Santa Claus – Gift giving is down a bazillion percent this year. That puts unforeseeable pressure on the North Pole to deliver gifts – get in line!
I suppose I could go on and on but in light of the holiday season I will stop at this point. I just don’t get it. I don’t like the situation any more than anyone else, but I don’t think we should be bailing out those groups that couldn’t save for a rainy day.
Feel free to ad your favorites to the list!
Fine, I suppose this is where you look for some witty insights to my mind. A "bio" of sorts. Here is the deal... I ride motorcycles, smoke cigars, golf, kayak, fly, race my car through the mountains, write (a lot), and travel extensively. I am almost old enough not to care what other people think about me...almost. ~Godfadr
Santa’s already made his pitch…………….HAHAHA HOHOHO HAHAHAHA

Godfather Added: I love it Lynda…going on the home page this week!
I also heard on the news Friday that retail stores like Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy’s, etc are all looking for their share also…………………this is getting totally out of hand!
