Rename the Bailout

Kudos to you, author. I've said this from day one. Calling this thing the "Wall Street Bailout" has been the problem with getting it passed. Frankly, the poor jerk flipping burgers at the local fast food joint has NO IDEA how much trouble HE'S in. He just thinks that it stinks to give $40 million to the guy who got us into trouble when he's fired. And there, I have to admit, I agree. But this won't really hit home for the burger flipper until the first time McDonald's can't borrow money to cover his pay or the ATM is empty and he can't buy that aforementioned six-pack. Should have been called the American Financial Recovery Act since it's inception. It's all in the perception. Hey Paulsen....take a lesson from history...even it if is from Joseph Goebbels.
