A rule of Texas high-rollers during the savings and loan crisis, writes Steven Pizzo on Atlantic Free Press, was to "never place your own money into risky deals. Instead use what they called 'OPM,' Other People's Money. In the case of the S&L debacle, the money stolen and squandered was taxpayer insured savings. That's precisely the kind of deal Bush has had going in Iraq. . . OPK -- Other People's Kids." |
