Bailout

At the time of this writing, before the General Election of 2008, when the candidates Baldwin of the Constitution Party, Obama of the Democrats, and McCain of the Republicans were campaigning as presidential candidates, there is present talk of a $700 billion bailout by the government to rescue Wall Street investment bankers and CEOs with their six-to-seven-figure salaries.

The solution is being considered by such people as homosexual-reputation Barney Frank of Massachusetts and others of the federal banking committee.
