It's truly amazing; my home state of California is bankrupt, and the US government has no money to give it (and is unwilling to override the provision in the state constitution that the state legislature requires a 2/3 majority in order to raise taxes, which would also solve the problem), but has billions of dollars to give to the banks. The banks, you see, are "too big to fail," but I guess one of the largest US states isn't. This kind of thing is so blatant that really it's a wonder more people don't see it, even through the propaganda.
