Unemployment jumped to 7.2 percent; retailers reported the worst Christmas sales figures in 40 years.<\/p>\n<p>Also on Friday,at yet another press conference,the President-select told reporters thathe would do what it takes to take what you\u2019vegot to start the economy. He said ideology won\u2019t matter, pride of authorship won\u2019t matter, and the old Washington ways will be abandoned. Political posturing is a thing of the past. All you have to do is &#8220;show&#8221; him good ideas,show him they work, and &#8212;<emphasize>Shazaam!<\/emphasize>&#8212; he\u2019ll adopt them.<\/p>\n<p>Now, for the sake of argument,let\u2019s take him at his word. New retail figures show that high-end retailers got clobbered this holiday season. Saks Fifth Avenue suffered a 20 percent drop in same-store sales, looking to move to Lexington Avenue; Williams-Sonoma, a 24 percent drop. According to press reports, the affluent have been &#8220;spooked by the financial meltdown.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Right before Christmas, AP ran a story bemoaning the plight of the wealthy &#8211;they\u2019reout bargain hunting, they\u2019re looking for discounts &#8211;and how that has crippled the economy. And just this week AP ran a story bemoaning the plight of retailers, worried that nobody will pay full price for items again. (Well, whoever <emphasize>did<\/emphasize> pay full price, except for the rich?)<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019sclear, my friends, thatto restore confidenceand creategrowth&#8230;wehave tobail out the rich. If we\u2019re going to save our economy, the wealthy bailout cannot wait! The rich need a bailout.
