Bail me out


Dear hardworking tax payer,

My industry has fallen on hard times. We repeatedly refused to innovate, let ourselves grow fat and complacent, and now are cutting jobs in order to avoid bankruptcy. Since you don't want to see your fellow Americans out of work, just give us a fatty blank check so we may continue down our unsustainable path of incompetence. Please blame foreign competition for any of our mistakes. Since we were born in America, we are simply entitled to a higher standard of living by right. Please continue to push for protectionist trade policies so I do not have to work so fucking hard for the standard of living that I simply deserve. They will always work out well.

Thanks,

Lazy Ass "Business" Executive

Everybody wants a bailout these days, even smut peddlers.

Its hard to believe that Calvin and Hobbes totally saw this coming, while most Americans were blissfully ignorant as usual.

Hopefully our new Commander in Chief will get us out of this mess. He appears to be off to a good start.
