Because 4-5 months ago there was still a slither of a chance that they might be the ones you had to sort this shit out.

Now they can revert to being contrarians towing the line "government involvement is bad, mmkay?", like the embarrassment that is
Bobby Jindal.

If the economy recovers, no-one will be too bothered that Republicans refused to back the bill, and they'll be able to hide behind the possibility that the recovery occurred 'despite' the Bill rather than because of it (and that they might still have achieved the same result without pouring so much public money into it).

If the economy tanks, which is still a very real possibility - the Republicans will be there shouting "Told you so".

It's a technique that's worked well in the UK for decades whenever there's a polarising issue, the prognosis of which involves a large amount of uncertainty. If you're in opposition, you attack - you may not necessarily win, but you usually can't lose by doing that.

I'd like to say, "Thank God for track records...," buuuuuut most of those now opposed most likely will not be around for very long, huh?

AND I don't hate old people either.

So today we have a cut to 0.5% rates, and the first stab at "quantitative easing"

Something very euphemistic-sounding about that.

And that worries me.

I didn't, but I got some new crunking music! Kind sounds like shite though. The first 45 min. of DJ Koze RA 145 is great though.

Don't look at me.

It should be stressed, Mr. Obama did everything legally & fessibly possible to be sure these bonuses were in the least amount possible. Happy now?

Doesn't change how the screwed feel. Nice touch giving U.S. a list of names though.

New era of retention rewards re-defined:

[underline/begin]Just Leave Re-Awards[underline/end] - No bonus, now go away so we can hire people who know WTF they're doing.
