Something doesn't add up

We're being told that, if Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac weren't bailed out yesterday, we would have been thrown into a brand new shiny Depression. Isn't that skipping a little technicality, like the recession our esteemed Führer denies we've been in for, oh....for as long as the bastard and his Nazi cronies have held our country hostage?

**EDIT**
I've been corrected by News Goddess Aunt Tudi. Fannie and Freddie weren't bailed out. I thought they were. Maybe we're headed for that fun little Depression, after all. If it's a race, I've already beaten most folks to the finish line, except for maybe angstzeit.

I'm pretty sure there will be a depression unless the feds bail me out. Srsly, where's my money?

I ask that on a daily basis. Then, it becomes clear that I have none. Guess that's why I'm depressed.

Well, they can't hardly come out and admit they've got their heads up a camel's ass.

And they're not, strictly speaking, Nazis -- although they are taking the country down a disturbingly fascist path, when compared to a list of features typical of fascist governments:

well according to cnn, the feds are now working on bailing em out.

What pisses me off the most is that no one responsible for this will face any criminal charges.

I mean, if I fucked up this bad you know someone would be hauling my ass to a court somewhere and sending me to jail.

This just doesn't seem right to me.

Nothing has seemed right to me since the 2000 "election."
