Ah... screwed again

Had an attorney tell me once that a settlement was only good when both sides felt like they got equally screwed.
If both sides thought it was a good deal they didn't need attorneys.
If one side was ecstatic and the other pissed then it should have gone to court.
So now we have laws being made that way. One side is ecstatic and the other is pissed. And screwed. Problem is, it's not the 2 political sides happy or screwed. It's the owners of the country that are getting screwed.
It's us. We're on the losing side of all the political settlements.
