Can't give them a bonus thru their non-existent paychecks. Maybe pay it out in food stamps? No, those are ear-marked for the legal (and illegal) immigrants. Oh, well, let's not worry about them-they probably wouldn't buy a new car with that $400 anyway.

Mortgages, credit cards, whatever. The banks get the big influx of cash they need, and regular people get some of the pressure on them off so they can go back to buying useless crap and get the economy back on track. We keep getting reports at the blog of companies hiking up credit card rates as high as they legally can to squeeze money out of their customers to help them (THE BANKS THAT IS) through the recession. How nice. I like Jon Stewart’s idea, which was to take all that bailout $$$$$$ and apply it against the debts of regular Americans. Mortgages, credit cards, whatever.
