The problem isn’t just with the amount of money. Frankly, that’s the last thing on my mind. The objections I, and a lot of other people, have to the bailout bill are in the realm of unconstitutional executive power. The money’s just the most visible problem of this bill.
It’s good to see a big government program voted down for once, though, even if just for a day.
I’m mixed on the subject. The reason we got here in the first place was because of government forcing lenders to lend to people who they knew couldn’t pay it back.
Government caused the problem, so part of me wants to say that government should fix it. The other (smarter) part of me says that government has never fixed anything, so why trust them now.
