Obama wants a label for his legacy like the New Deal or the Great Society. I have a suggestion. How about the RAW DEAL?

Now Citibank has to go to the Treasury to get permission to pay bonuses! What else would you call that? A RAW DEAL.

Government bails out GM and what happens to the bond holders? Here are the numbers:

  • GM Bond holders bought bonds totaling $27 billion and only get 10%
  • United Auto Workers who get PAID to work in the factories put in $10 billion and now own 40%
  • Government put in $15 billion and ends up with 50%

What else would you call that except a RAW DEAL?
