Good link Stoney. I'd rep ya, but I gotta share the love a bit more before I can... This is what happens when our "illustrious" elected officials vote through legislation WITHOUT reading and/or thinking about the consequences. If you all will remember, the INITIAL vote recorded in the House was against the bailout, then the Senate got hold of the legislation (now up to 104 pages), expanded it to 400+ pages and forced another vote that eventually passed. Where's the oversight? Hell, this legislation expanded the authority of powers of the Secretary of the Treasury and now Paulson's talking about using some of that money for the US automakers! Why? BECAUSE HE CAN, NOW THAT THIS BILL HAS PASSED! A big fucking "Ooops" on the great representation from our legislative branch, yeah?
Even after this bill was initially defeated in the House, Pelosi went on record after the vote was recorded and said...
I wonder if Pelosi, Obama, and McCain will take any responsibility for this travesty.
