Voiding contracts by government fiat is the first break in the chain in the Rule of Law.

Voiding the Rule of Law is probably not conducive to either the economy or freedom. But it’s a great first step to despotism.

Be careful what you wish for. This manipulated outrage serves the One’s purpose.

It's simply a political ploy. Take wads of money from companies like AIG, bail them out while protecting the pay of those who fed you money, then raise hell and stomp your feet at how unfair it is when it comes time for the bonus pay.

At this point, you drag a few execs in front of Congress, wag a stern finger at them, do nothing substantive so as to ensure they still get paid their bonus, and then everybody can laugh about it together in a few months at some DC cocktail party paid for by the suckers paying everybody's salary.

God Bless America.
