for FReeper of the Year...
another fine post.
the Senate added about 110 billion $$ to the “bailout” bill. including money for manufacturers of childrens wooden arrows....projects in Alaska....and incentives to companies that do business in American Samoa (the pajamas media are searching for proof of the rumor that Nancy Pelosi’s husband has a company operating there)....
so the Senate has piled on Pork to this unpopular bill....not to get the public to support it, but to get the members of Congress to support it and ignore the stated will of the people.
we want a solution to the “financial crisis” that involves fiscal responsibility, not a solution that involves dumping it onto our backs.
they threaten us with depression if we do not agree with their solution but they do not understand that their solution will cause severe depression for each and every one of us anyway.
we know we are in trouble, but we want the people who are responsible for this mess to take their share of the costs, not be rewarded with bonuses and congratulations.
I wish that every adult American would read (and, more importantly, comprehend) your words.
