A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Could it be related to Bernanke gives hope for a real plan? It is ironic that Citigroup is claiming an $8.3 Billion profit when it has received over $45 billion from the government, plus $300 billion in federal guarantees.

Quite a bit of this Corporate Logic reminds me of an old joke: A rich guy walks out of a Vegas casino to get in his limo, when he is approached by an elderly gentleman. "Mister, could you help me out?", he asks. "My wife needs surgery for cancer, and I don't know how we're going to pay for it."
The rich guy pulls a $100 chip out of his pocket and hands it to the fellow, and says: "I can't pay all your bills, buddy. But you can take this inside and play it on your lucky number on the roulette wheel. $3,500 should be a good start if you win."
The elderly gent says: "Oh, I GOT gambling money." They GOT profit money... They GOT bonus money...

Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...

If I thought my support would turn the economy around, and allow me to retire in 9 years like I had planned to do, I would hitch hike to Washington to organize the rally. Alas, I can only cheer lead from Massachusetts.

Good man, Ma. It's a fool who lets blind partisanship stand in the way of his own best interests. You are not one of them.
Steve Give us the wisdom to teach our children to love,
to respect and be kind to one another,
so that we may grow with peace in mind.
