Housing Bailout = Arm Flapping Skydivers
The brilliant minds running our financial system just announced yet another new housing bailout.
Gov’t launches new loan aid effort
There is only one analogy I can think of that does this ridiculous situation justice…
The people attempting to run our country for the last few decades are like pilots on a plane without landing gear. Instead of attempting an emergency landing on a freeway somewhere they’ve been gaining altitude to keep the passengers from looking at the ground. They pushed it too hard and the engines caught fire. Convincing us to jump out of the plane(bailouts) to avoid incineration (financial collapse) was not very difficult.
We’re now hurtling towards the earth, looking at the pilots for guidance. They’re flapping their arms and smiling. Since most of us have never skydived before we begin flapping our arms too, hoping for the best.
Why do the pilots want us flapping our arms? So we don’t punch them in the teeth on the way down.

The current bailout plan the Obama administration has somehow contribute in lessening the effects of economic global crisis to everyone. Maybe in due time, the economy will bounce back to where it should be.
