This stinks to high heaven. Hopefully the arrests will start before the election.
Well I watched both my Senators (R & D) vote for this mess and just sent an email to my Representative not to vote for it (so far he has been good about everything except the SCHIP).
My problem is voting for President - now I can’t (again) vote McCain, but I know that voting for Barr (any of the other lesser candidates are insane) will be nothing more than a conscience vote and will probably lead to an Obama (most especially since he has ACORN defrauding the vote) presidency ala Clinton/Bush/Perot.
Damn them all to hell. To sell out to socialism, upping the National Debt/Budget by trillions (you know it isn’t going to fix the problem, just add to it), and not going after those who caused this mess.
And voting them out won’t do a damn thing - this is the crappola we got by ‘teaching the Republicans’ a lesson in ‘06. Damn lot of good it did us. And they sure didn’t get the message at all. Plus look at whose worse in the porking - the Freshman - prime example being Obama - busy little lad in just 143 days.
As I said, damn them all to hell - those who voted for this crappola, those who stood by and did nothing and most especially those who caused it.
Copy of an email I just sent to Bill O’Reilly… maybe if this gets some airplay, SOMEONE will start asking this question instead of just ignoring it all as is being done now.
Title: Bandaids instead of surgery
Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn’t the whole mess in the financial sector caused by the government requiring lenders to lower the bar to qualify for a loan without correspondingly raising the security/collateral required?
I’m hearing a lot about fixing the *results* of that decision, but not a word about re-thinking that decision itself. Is it possible the public is against the “rescue package” because Congress is apparently trying to fix the symptoms while completely ignoring the root problem?
And if the root problem is not addressed, what then? Use this bailout to reinflate what was a false bubble in the first place, and plan on conning the taxpayer out of another trillion or so every few years to keep it inflated?
I think perhaps I can understand why the average taxpayer doesn’t like that idea.
