I know someone already said it, but I don't think the oil companies are screwing you out of your tax dollars. They didn't do this. It sure looks like they'll benefit from it though.
Anyway, this is what today's events look like to me. The banks got a bailout on Friday, so on Monday they start blowing money on something else, hoping to get as "safe" and "rich" as fast as possible, with what is essentially taxpayers money. Am I wrong?
The strangest thing is the opening article in this thread blamed this all on "jitters about the bailout plan". Why the jitters? It doesn't make sense. If I'm down to my last penny on Thursday, I win the lottery on Friday, shouldn't I be "less nervous" come Monday? Shouldn't I be downright relaxed and happy?
