How stupid are we becoming?

Yesterday morning I was watching the news and they had that lady this is one of President Obama's economic advisor's on talking about the Bank plan to buy toxic assets. Anyway.. the intro went something like the Gov't will be responsible for 5% of the plan and the taxpayers will be on the hook for 95% of the plan. She came on and immediately said.. thats incorrect.. the Gov't is guaranteeing almost 7% of the plan.. My point is.. when will people realize that the taxpayers.. and even non taxpayers.. are on the hook for 100% of the the funding of Gov't and its guarantees?

6. Good question. I think that

we have had so much bullshit thrown at us for so long,that we are just overwhelmed. President Obama is caught between a rock and a hard place and so are we. I was referring to your second question. As for the first some people are just dumber than a fucking rock.
