Jim, I've had that dream about the teeth falling out. Must be standard issue, like the one where you forgot a class for a whole semester until the very end, or the one where you are naked in public.
Regarding the bail-out, I keep wondering about what this means for the financial sector in terms of their true value to the economy. Is it possible that the extraordinary bonuses, perks, and salaries are not necessarily justifiable in terms of real worth? Is it possible that we have been subsidizing Wall St. to some degree?
I mean, the financial rocket science of managing risk has not worked out, but as with a plaintiff's lawyer who wins a big suit that is later shown to be junk science, the rewards have already been disbursed and the damage already done.

Bailout 2008 by David Jeffrey
Like a bloodied warrior,
laying broken and torn.
Like a dying soldier, hopeless and forlorn.
But the blood, it be green,
the color of money.
And the soldier is an economy,
and it is anything but funny.
Broken are it's people and shattered are their dreams.
Thanks to the ultra rich and their full proof schemes.
It is a tragedy with more pain to come.
Finance will be Hell, and their wills will be done.
