I was doing some quick math... if you are interested in knowing this small fact:
AIG was given 85,000,000,000 (85 Billion) dollars in bailouts -- in 2007 they employed 116,000 people.
The average yearly wage (or at least as close as I can find) is $39795. How long could the government keep all 116,000 of those people employed at 40,000 a year?
Answer: 18.3
Instead of just giving them early retirement options -- taking them out of the workforce and allowing better companies to step forward and hire new employees we would rather bailout a sinking company who is using your tax money to give bonuses to their executives for -- well taking your money.
In case you are wondering how many people we could put into early retirement i.e. pay for 20 years of doing nothing with Bush's and Obama's combined Bailouts... lets use their early figures for a combined 1.5 Trillion dollars...
1,500,000,000,000/20 = 75,000,000,000 (billion a year)/40,000= 1,875,000.
If you were to take the stimulus package... give the oldest 1,875,000 employees in America early retirement. You would end up in much better shape then bailing out all these companies.
1) Bad companies would fail.
2) Good companies would rise.
3) You would have more spending from the newly retired, simply because they would no longer have to worry about where the money is coming from.
4) You would free up jobs for younger Americans.
5) You would have new markets open up to take advantage of the new retired.
Bailing out companies is bad, instead, offer early retirement to those oldest people in the work force who and this is key -- make 40,000 or less.
Of course what I am proposing is a complete overhaul of the Social Security System... but who knows, that might have been the issue all along.

It's hard to get back on track when you stray. You can make excuses about why it happened; "I don't have enough time," "I'm really busy," "I can do it later..." and so on and so forth. The problem is that when it is all said and done, you have a large pile of excuses in one hand and nothing in the other. Adding them together, you will find out you have even less then you started with. ( No more excuses, just read the rest. )You can blame the newsman talking at you on the satellite T.V
And if you're fighting for your shipyards,
You might as well just blame the sea.
Hey, Mr. Weatherman come on over.

So I didn't get around to posting any artwork on Wednesday. Even after I said I was trying to get away from being so lazy on Monday. Though in my defense, I was at work and I did sleep in pretty late. Though those aren't real excuses so I apologize. But, I actually did have artwork done. So instead of waiting until next Wednesday, I am going to give you a 2 for 1 deal. ( Click here for more shizzle )But it seems as if naught is to change anyway?!
After all these years thou left'st me down in the emotional depths
The sombre soaked velvet-drape is hung upon me,
Turning my feelings away from our so ignorant world:
All the beautiful moments shared, deliberately push'd aside
...a distance there is. Tags: anime, art, double post, fire sale, review, update
Atmosphere: A puddle of rain
State of Being:  indescribable
