Cutting Welfare for the Rich

Unlike what liberals usually call "corporate welfare," that is, tax breaks, the government bailout of various companies is welfare, and, therefore, placing restrictions on those receiving it seems right and proper to me.

As Maureen Dowd notes, it's been a rough two weeks for Teh One as he transitions for Messiah to mere POTUS. Lots of tax cheats. A pork-laden "stimulus" bill that lacks the votes to pass. And international crises aplenty.

It's enough, as Dowd says, to bring on a "My Pet Goat" moment. You know, the kind liberals have spent 7 1/2 years mocking. Except that one hasn't happened yet but is possible, as Vice President Joe Biden has said.

Having noted the stumbling and bumbling Obama administration's problems, I am glad to see them trying to put some restrictions on what our money gets used for by corporations. Now, if only he applied some of the same standards to Congress.
