Bailout mascot

A friend of mine sent me this. Crude, but funny. Also sad actually, because it’s becoming increasingly obvious these bailouts are set up to protect greedy incompetent executives who caused the mess in the first place. If anyone knows of the correct origin, please let us know in the comments.

    And you can learn more by viewing all the Paddy Hirsch videos (that British nerd is cool!)

  2. Thanks for the links, those are excellent videos explaining the credit crisis.

    I still think the bailouts are a terrible idea though…
