Like a dog to his vomit

Right back to the fire

“No one is happy about the tough decisions that were made today,” said U.S. Rep. James R. Langevin (D-RI), who voted for the bailout bill. “Our economy is in dire shape and drastic action is needed.

Isn't giving credit to the unworthy the reason we are in this jam?
