I was at the mall yesterday and realized something, I just don't have the money nor the patience this year for the holidays. I'm so behind on shopping and we didn't even take our holiday photo yet either. However, for the first time,......I'm not really bothered by it all. I really could care less. We just wrote a check this morning for $2k to our adoption agency so that's where our money is really going this year. I think that would be a much better present to the family anyway - a new life rather than a new pair of gloves. So I need to make it down to Washington soon to get a Christmas bail out because we've only got $600 this year and this is how far it has to be stretched: 12 presents; 6 birthday presents; tips for the babysitter, manicurist, aerobics instructor, teacher, mail man, crossing guard; and a new bike for Lily's b-day on the 22nd. Oh...and I won't be taking the family jet either....I'll just drive down in my 97 Corolla with the broken door now that gas prices are so low.....
How can these executives possibly beg for money when they earn such enormous salaries??!! I say, after all these bailouts that companies that have received government money have executive salary caps of $120,000k per year with a bonus based on actual company performance: if the company is not in the black they're not in the green. That bonus should be paid in stock options as well and should be no more than 5% of their salary. That will give them a vested interest in the company's success. No more golden parachutes either. Please tell me that these kind of limits are already being placed on this rich whiteman's welfare. These corporations are bringing a whole new meaning to the term 'white Christmas'.
The good news is, I only need about $70k not $750billion. And it would be a one time bailout, I wouldn't come begging again. I promise to invest it wisely and do a whole lot of spending which would definitely stimulate the economy. So how about it? Anyone else want to get in line with me?
