Innocents Held at Gitmo and More US Ships Collide and More for Friday, March 20, 2009

More on Bailoutrage (Our Comments Posted to WikiNews on 3/20/2009):

About 4 days ago, we "coined" the term "Bailoutrage" (The American Political Handbook, 3/15/2009) to describe the emotions experienced by some of the public over the AIG Bonus Payouts. A poll was posted alongside the term and its definition. The small response has so far been negative and the public seems to identify with this "new" emotion (strongly, in at least one case).

We identify with it strongly, but believe that we must temper our "Bailoutrage" against falling into AIG Hysteria (as one online news source described it). Further, it seems that some of these bonuses may have been repaid and the "Bailoutrage" should be lessened. Had the Obama administration truly expected this level of public outcry, we expect that they may have tried to more forcefully stop the AIG bailouts - which, it now appears, must be stopped at all costs. Had the previous administration been expecting this level of public outcry, we expect they would have went ahead anyway with allowing the bonus payments to proceed.

Punishment and penury seems unfair at this point, however. As some elected officials have pointed out that punishment ex post facto and Bills of Attainder are unconstitutional. The apparent equation is unconstitutional = unfair. But, is it fair to all?

No, it is not. Because some of us that were scheduled to receive monies through the omnibus spending plan are now finding that those monies have been stopped. For example, those disqualified from receiving unemployment payments will not receive their meager stimulus funds. (Meager being defined as a payment of some $ 25 per week). While some of us believe that the stoppage of those stimulus payments through a state-run apparatus is unfair, it may still be constitutional. What may be constitutional, may not have the appearance of fairness to all concerned. —66.51.146.94 16:30, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
