Remember that $2 billion loss JP Morgan had? Well, looks like that was a wee bit off. Now it’s said to be at least $3 billion. Oops. Of course, that’s just a pittance, and taxpayers are ever eager to help them out should times get tough. And, no, we certainly don’t expect a share of the profits when times are good. That would be socialism.
Republicans in the Senate joined their pals over in the House by voting for so-called Ryan Budget, a plan that…
…would phase out the existing Medicare program and replace it with a subsidized private insurance system for seniors; dramatically slash Medicaid spending and hand the program over to the states; cut food and nutrition programs for poor people; and allow interest rates on student loans to double; all while dramatically reducing taxes, particularly on wealthy Americans.
Hey, sounds good to me. Rich people need to lay less, and if that screws over poor folks and old folks, well, tough. They should have been born rich (and stayed young).
Another case of “unlimited” actually having a limit, this time at Chuck’s Place, and its “All You Can Eat Fish Fry.”
A Wisconsin man got cut off after he wolfed down a dozen pieces of fish at an all-you-can-eat fish fry, so he did what any red-blooded American would do: he made a picket sign and protested.
Bill Wisth — a fish-eating machine at 6-foot-6-inches tall and 350 lbs — was miffed when workers at his favorite local restaurant in Thiensville, Chuck’s Place, said they were running out of yummy sea creatures.
“It’s false advertising,” Wisth told TMJ4. “We asked for more fish, and they refused to give us more fish.”
[…]
But Wisth said he’s not done fighting the great fish fight, nor is he finished with fish-fry Fridays at Chuck’s Place. Heck, he still admits the food is irresistible.“They do have like some of the best pizza in town, if you like deep dish pizza,” he told TMJ4.
He plans to picket every Sunday until the restaurant lets him eat all he can eat.
Go for it, Homer Bill!
