SE Mom,
I just got a reply from one of my wunnerful Senators... Thought I would share my response, with an excerpt.
“Senator Isakson,
Thank you for your reply, and your explanation. I do have some understanding of what the problem is, and more importantly, how we got here. The major issue here is, once again, mistrust. Even in response to this constituent, who has access to the ugly reality of Sec. Paulsen’s package, you work to try and calm the sheep. “The term bailout has been used a lot in this debate. Not a dollar of the $700 billion will go to the brokers who created the securities. Instead, they will go to the investors who bought them, and then only after they take a significant discount or loss.” Oh please, I do not know everything, but I do know that far too much of that 700 billion dollar price tag, was designated to go to people and organizations that the average American taxpayer would NEVER have condoned!
The Wall Street fiasco, and your defense of it, provides yet another reason to make the case for TERM LIMITS. Too many of our statesmen, have become politicians, who seek only to serve themselves.
The American taxpayer will no longer work to ensure a steady income for the federal government, and the criminals who line up at it’s trough.
NO earmarks for ACORN, La Raza,the American Urban League, or anyone else. The Free Money for everyone stops now. No mark ups. If you have to sweeten the deal, it must not be so bad after all. And any profit, comes back to US, the American taxpayer, NOT given in turn to ante up in yet another backroom deal.
Ever a vigilant American,
Tatt
HOOAH! WOW! Excellent letter:)
