Even pundits in the liberal press are beginning to see the problems in the hysteria being kicked up by our president and congress. Steven Pearlstein, business columnist for the Washington Post, says, "Let's Put Down The Pitchforks." He writes:
"At the end of the day, the thing to get outraged about is not the $440 million in bonuses at AIG or the $10 million that Citigroup is spending to redesign its shrunken executive suite. These may seem like princely sums, but they are almost insignificant compared with the real outrage: the hundreds of billion dollars of taxpayer funds that have been put at risk to keep AIG and Citi from failing and taking the whole financial system down with them. Let's keep our attention on the elephant rather than the pimples on its behind."
Exactly.
