Thread: The Auto Bailout

This is really interesting. Bill O'Reilly was on NPR (of all places for him to be) this morning talking about what he called the "rich kid" syndrome. His theory was that folks who grew up wealthy tend to think that things just work out because things seemed to for them growing up (due to throwing money at the problem). I am not endorsing that line of thinking, it is just interesting to hear others voice a similar view point without blaming it on a class of people. O'Reilly actually blamed this "syndrome" on why Bush didn't react faster to some of the problems that were cropping up during the war in Iraq.

On an unrelated note, I was listening to the duties and powers that will come with this "Car Czar" position that is currently trying to be filled on the hill. From what I can tell, it is going to be about the worst job in America, right underneath Assistant Crack Whore. Another case of "Put out this fire with a toothpick and some gas."
