in the dirt since history began
-
"We have no words to waste on you. When you reach out your vaunted strong hands for our palaces and purpled ease, we will show you what strength is. In roar of shell and shrapnel and in whine of machine-guns will our answer be couched. We will grind you revolutionists down under our heel, and we shall walk upon your faces. The world is ours, we are its lords, and ours it shall remain. As for the host of labor, it has been in the dirt since history began, and I read history aright. And in the dirt it shall remain so long as I and mine and those that come after us have the power. There is the word. It is the king of words—Power. Not God, not Mammon, but Power. Pour it over your tongue till it tingles with it. Power."

We can afford a $700,000,000,000 bail-out due to greed and deregulation, but we can’t afford universal healthcare, a better education system, more help for the homeless, etc.?
Give me a break.
the paradox you mention is not a bug, it’s a feature.
i might as well suggest a less exploitive financial instrument through which people might purchase a house and actually gain equity in the property they live in, maintain and improve: a zero interest mortgage with perhaps a small annual documentation fee? naaah, couldn’t happen.
I too suspect that the cost of the bailout is intended to strangle an Obama administration in the cradle.
