Boston Globe schills for the bailout.

In a recent spotlight on the Boston Globe’s website they try to come up with reasons why the bailout might feasibly help taxpayers.  Seems to me like they have to stretch pretty far to see any light at the end of that tunnel.  Most of the “benefits” are obscure ways to maybe possibly save on your tax returns.  In other words, the government is going to take more of your money unless you can pay a good accountant to find all the little ins and outs of the new bill for you.  Even with tax deductions being the only real benefits, the Globe has environmentally friendly habits listed three times: alternative energy, home energy improvements, and hybrid cars.

Lesson learned: go buy expensive Japanese hybrid cars and purchase very expensive solar panels from Asian electronics companies and then hire wealthy accountants.  The poor man gets…. NOTHING.
