Are you sick enough of it to join the Ron Paul Revolution? After all the “kook” is being proven correct on all counts.

Ya know . . . as kooky as he was/is, he most certainly HAS been right. Even THAT is frightening. We have been lied to by both Republicans and Democrats so many times it is nearly impossible to know the real truth. THAT is my new realization.
Perfectly believable IMO.
“I know it was tough to vote against the bailout and maybe there was no choice but this feels like a slippery slope the other slippery slopes look up to.”
It feels like a slippery slope because Paulson greased it with suggestions that more than real estate backed securities might be bailed out.
He’s still talking about purchasing car loans-—I’ll take a wild guess, those have been securitized to into tradeable derivatives, and the foreigners bought the paper.
LOL...the pics in this thread are hysterical!
Why don’t they just nationalize everything. I could use a break.
Shades of the inside cover of Steppenwolf’s LP “For Ladies Only.”
Time for Americans to refuse to pay their TAXES, What would they do then? Put us all in Jail! Time to grab our pitch forks and take back our government!
I’m sure Barney can help.
He’s intentionally dropped the soap many a time..

There is certainly a chill in the air of capitalism right now. The markets are going to tank in the morning when they realize that even if it doesn’t pass now, it likely will pass once Obama is sworn in.
LET THE BIG 3 FAIL!
Maybe if the made chandeliers standard on their cars, they wouldn't be going bankrupt in the first place.
Pa.....thetic.
“It would just be wrong to take it out of TARP [the Troubled Asset Relief Program] without a separate vote,” Frank said.
The lawmaker added that he believed that President Bush would sign legislation to help prevent a collapse of the U.S. automobile manufacturing industry.
“This would be a terrible time and I think the White House knows that,” he said.
The $25 billion would be separate from the $25 billion that Congress provided car manufacturers to retool factories to comply with tougher fuel-efficiency standards. Frank said there were some efforts by the manufacturers to ask Congress to use the earlier $25 billion for immediate financial help. He said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) “absolutely rejected that with broad support.”
******
U.S. lawmakers wouldn’t expect President George W. Bush to veto a $25 billion aid package for U.S. auto makers being drafted by congressional Democrats this week, a top House member said Wednesday.
“We don’t think they’ll kick it back,” House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank, D-Mass., told reporters.
Frank has been tasked by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., with drafting the aid package for automakers.
Frank offered few specifics about the potential legislation - his staff is still drafting it - but said there will be a House Financial Services Committee hearing on the issue next Wednesday. He also suggested that lawmakers could put restrictions on how the money will be used.
“We want to protect the taxpayer ... to maximize the chances of repayment and secondly by diminishing the chances of the money being spent improvidently or imprudently,” Frank said.
Yes..sadly it is believable. We had better pray that Georgia and Minn. keep our guys in office. The fate of our country might literally rest in their hands now.
Or print so much that the dollar’s value dwindles to nothing?
War
I got it one piece at a time, and it didn't cost me a dime....
“We want to protect the taxpayer ... to maximize the chances of repayment and secondly by diminishing the chances of the money being spent improvidently or imprudently,” Frank said.
Yeah right. What an A-Hole this guys is.
Another weird idea from Barney.
