A strange, strange world we live in

I find it highly ironic that Republicans who call themselves 'conservatives' are now the ones backing the biggest government bailout of the economy in history. The irony would be rich if there weren't so many concerns...namely the fact that Henry Paulson is the absolutely wrong person to be pushing such a plan. There's the blatant conflict of interest (he was CEO of Goldman Sachs in the credit boom years of yonder), as well as the fact that the man has positively zero empathy when it comes to making sure any bailout plan helps out taxpayers. No, he effectively wants a blank check (that's what it is; $700 billion is a joke of a price tag) for the banks, and he wants the government to overpay for them.

What the hell. Just weird, messed up, and indicative of how strange the whole situation is when both Newt Gingrich and liberal Democrats alike are pissed off at the proposed deal.

Not too worried

Being in the financial sector, there are probably a lot of people who would be worried about losing their job. Me, I'm okay with where I am right now. Not really as a factor of believing I am excelling in my performance at work (I've worked barely a week and a half on the desk), but more that I don't control the economy and is therefore not something to be morose about for the time being. If things don't work out, I don't have any question that I'd brush my shoulders off, pick myself up, and be able to do something else.

Just take it day by day...that's my motto.
