Yes, its absurd.
I guess I was having some wacky paranoid dream, thanks for waking me up. I dreamed that the government passed salary caps on major bank executives salaries, then I dreamed that congress proposed a 90% bonus tax, then its gets even MORE bizzare, I dreamed that the President of the United States guranteed warranties on Chrysler and GM cars and to top it all of he fires the president of GM. WHoa! That was wild. I can't even imagine in my wildest dreams Obama would further ensure GMs stability by manipulating gas prices or legistlation that would push people to buy GM. This is America after all.
