    b,121The twins rode to their first day of preschool on a magical unicorn. It trotted down the street and the children of suburban New Jersey sprang from their homes and followed behind. Upon the way, the mass of youth burst into song, verses of gladness and joy issuing forth from their scrubbed, smiling faces.
    b,121
    b,121Kathryn followed behind, dejected and sad, weighed down by the plaster cast on her arm, no song passing through her pursed lips. Then a bluebird alighted upon her right arm. And another. And another. The song of the children crescendoed as dozens of birds landed along her yellow cast, then all took flight at once, lifting the cast up and off Kathryn's flawlessly straight and not at all wrinkled or poorly-smelling arm. Cartwheeling end over end to the front of the parade, Kathryn then briefly stopped the procession with a heartwarming solo that left not a dry eye in the town.
    b,121
    b,121Comically dirty street sweepers came from side streets, tapping out a rhythm with their brooms. Civil servants of all stripes joined in with intricate and orchestrated dances: Firefighters, police officers, tax appraisers spinning and lifting each other over their heads, backs arched, limbs outstretched. A meter maid, in the midst of writing a summons, tore her pad of tickets to shreds and threw it into the air where it multiplied tenfold and rained down on the throngs of revelers.
    b,121
    b,121At the preschool, the unicorn came to a stop. It bowed its front legs and Lila and Victoria slid off its velvety white back. They climbed the steps to the school, each step heralded by ten thousand synchronized Chinese drummers, turned just long enough to show the crowd their waving hands and smiling faces, then disappeared inside. Fireworks launched from the rooftops and a column of white smoke announced a new pope.

    The bailout was specifically designed to allow this kind of behavior. b,121b,121The whole point was for the government to assume debt. With the debt off the balance sheets the CEOs and stock holders could continue to receive profits, bonuses and perks.b,121b,121I tried to tell all you all it was bad idea. b,121b,121Nothing will happen to these people because they did nothing wrong.b,121b,121NZ change your location please.

    You can't believe how utterly pissed I am about all this. Since the bailout my company has received almost zero new business. We've had to lay off a few people and the remaining people are getting pay cuts. I'm most likely not going to get paid this month. I had to tell my GF I couldn't have dinner with her because I couldn't afford it. Unless business picks up I think we'll have to close down within a month or so. I'm watching what I spend and preparing for the worst.
