A version of good parenting

I cracked open a bottle of red this evening (damn the diet!) and treated myself to a glass in celebration of the latest news from Washington that the Obama administration has given the financial wizards of Wall Street a serious, plain-spoken slap up-side their pointy, greedy little heads - finally!  I'm as unhappy as the next taxpayer about the lack of limits set on the money (our money!!!) that was given away only to see some of it used for ridiculous bonuses and "rewards" - for failing!  sheesh.

Moving forward, it's cause for celebration that hopefully those crooks on Wall Street will get the message that they can't get rich on us anymore.  If you don't want to be a "senior executive" of a failing company using taxpayer's money to survive for a measly $500,000 a year, than get the hell out of the way and let someone else do it.  They (a $500,000 salaried executive vs. a $20 million executive) can't do any worse.

It's just plain good parenting to set limits on children who don't seem to get it and need serious reining in.  And those guys on Wall Street are just not getting it.
