MONOPOLY (The Game of Choice for Our Economy)
As a child I loved to play Monopoly. My Favorite role was to be the Banker. I love being in charge, and it was the easiest way to CHEAT. Yes I am going to come out and say that I used to Cheat at Monopoly. Aaron and Angela will never play that game with me again. So for who knows how long AIG and other banks have played monopoly during work and with real money. Now our Government is buying Wall St., AKA Boardwalk and Park Place. AIG pays retention bonus' to 73 employees and this amounts to about 163 Million Dollars. Less than 1% of the Bailout money they have received. I think that congress is jealous of AIG big wigs getting bonus and that is why Congress is mad. Let it be known that the Bailout money was given with no limitations on how the money could be used. I don't think it is worth all the attention this story has received. Personally a company who is going through the financial struggle they should be cutting back on bonus'. Intermountain cut our Christmas Bonus and our 401k match last year. It hurt my pocket book but it was better than layoffs. Congress feels cheated and so now they have to find a way to get the 163 Million back. Well how does Government make money. Taxes, so no Congress wants to tax these 73 people up to 95% of their bonus money. Well now that Congress is able to Tax who they and how much they want, what will keep them from doing it to us. I am so happy that the Democrats have control of the House and Senate. If Nancy Polosi would sell her private jet maybe our tax dollars for her salary would be better spent. The BIG THREE get hounded by Congress for traveling by private jet but it is OK for the Speaker of the House to do so. Our Government is throwing money around like it is monopoly money and our Economy is getting worse even with Trillions of dollars in Bailouts and Stimulus money. Not only that but our New Administration in the White House is lying to us. They just found out about the bonus, wait no we new about them all along, as Tim Gietner has stated. Just because of a Man Religious beliefs People would not vote for the only Candidate that has the knowledge to restructure and restore our Economy, Mitt Romney. He should be President, or have Tim Gietner's Job. But NO. CHANGE we can Believe in is running the Show.

i love it when people leave comments on our blog. especially if they are long and meaningful like this one. it makes me feel so good. especially when its from the one that i love the most....that would be you. feel free to go a head and leave a comment on the blog honey. as a reminder...bullardfam.blogspot.com.

...and love new comments on the blog too. its so fulfilling to wake up in the morning and check my email and see that i have received a new comment on my blog. it makes me feel like someone out there loves me. i know that you love me and that you love comments on your blog too, but it would just be one more way of showing how much you love me, if you left a comment on my blog. correction-our blog.
i think there have been 2 times that you have left comments on our blog...those times were so wonderful.
did you know that one of my biggest pet-peeves is when i know that there are people out there who look at our blog and then dont leave a comment. its like, whats the point in that?!? in fact, that is why i have considered making our blog private. i dont like to have people out there who stalk/stock (cant ever remember which way that is supposed to be spelled) anyways, when there are people out there who read our blog and then we dont even know about it cuz they dont leave a comment.
anyways, i guess that the point that i am trying to make is that i LOVE new comments on the blog. its almost like a competition with other people, to see who has the most comments on one single post. its so awesome when i get up to like 8 comments on one post. one time i think i ...oops, we...had 16 comments on one post. it was AWESOME!
love ya and leave me a comment. dang it. you are making me angry just thinking about the fact that you will read this long comment on your blog and then not even leave one on our blog for me. ugh!!! husbands are so frustrating. especially husbands who dont know how to leave a comment on a blog.
whoa...someone must love you to leave such a long comment on your blog. see below...
oops, i guess i should have said, see above
