The winner for the funniest caption in this massively screwed up country will receive everyone's undying praise and gratitude"

Geitner: Well, senator, they aren't going to make <b>ANY</b> less money.

We didn't really want to cut the auto union members wages, but we just wanted it to appear that we did for PR purposes. http://slate.com/blogs/blogs/kausfiles/archive/2009/05/21/neoliberalism-is-alive-alive.aspx I guess it's not really that funny, eh? I don't expect anyone's undying gratitude for this.
