Sometime back, our President had a terrible problem with some Pirates---well...they were Somali Pirates, and were intercepting vessels and hijacking them and...well...thumbing their noses at the international navies of the world.
Midst quite a bit of publicity....the US Navy was sent to the rescue, and the sharpshooters took action and knocked the Pirates off in one bold move. It was a bold lesson to be learned for all: When the US governemnt deals with Pirates, they will not tolerate being shaken down, lied to, stolen from etc, etc.
Reel the movie forward----Midst the furor of the AIG bonus scandal, the public erupts with anger at the move of the government to, with a wink and a nod, approve the bonuses to key AIG employees, even as the nation is dealing with the devastation that these employees caused---they are KEY employees? and because they are KEY, even though bad to the bone, we need to keep them in place. Just yesterday it was announced that after all the TWITTER about it, the administration will really not unravel the matrix of greed of Wall Street compensation that has resulted from deregulation, but will rather make some recommendations------One has to ask where all the boldness from the "Pirate Episode" went? Should he have called the Navy to intervene?
Ditto for Health Care-----Ya think the Wall Street pirates are tough? Wait till ya get to those in health care. It's a bad omen. Stay tuned.
