Comments on: Monday Hot Read – Jon Ward’s “Paul Ryan explains his votes for TARP, bailouts and tax on AIG bonuses” http://norunnyeggs.com/2010/02/monday-hot-read-jon-wards-paul-ryan-explains-his-votes-for-tarp-bailouts-and-tax-on-aig-bonuses/ The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

But let this be a lesson to Ryan and others that trying to "punish" corporations can easily backfire in house/senate dominated by capitalism-haters, and perhaps keeping it a bit more pure and simple would end up better, or not. (It's a six of one, half-a-dozen of the other thing.) With just 6 hours to decide about AIG, who could do better?

There was a lot of 'inside baseball' Congressional crap involved in that vote; Ryan had good reasons to go either way. IOW, it was not simply whether/not limiting compensation. It was also an issue of keeping the (D) rats' feet to the fire. That AIG thing ‘splanation also makes it clear that “purity” is not so simple.
