Live Thread: Senate Porkulus Vote

[NoGrayZone]

I didn't see a live thread and I just can't watch this debacle alone.

Meagan Kelly on Fox said the FBC filed a lawsuit under the freedom of information act to find out where this "lost" 78 billion dollars went from the first "bailout".

Things are getting a tad bit too interesting for my taste!

[NoGrayZone]

Mods.....if there is already a live thread, I apologize.

[MNlurker]

We’re finished...I’ve gotten a lot calmer since I’ve realized it.

Something to think about during the vote.

Rep. Kanjorski: $550 Billion Disappeared in "Electronic Run On the Banks"
"On Thursday Sept 15, 2008 at roughly 11 AM The Federal Reserve
noticed a tremendous draw down of money market accounts in the USA
to the tune of $550 Billion dollars in a matter of an hour or two.
Money was being removed electronically.
The treasury tried to help with $150 Billion.
But could not stem the tide.
It was an electronic run on the banks
The treasury intervened but had they not closed down the accounts
they estimated that by 2 PM that afternoon.
Within 3 hours. $5.5 Trillion would have been withdrawled
and collapsed and within 24 hours the world economy."

FLASHBACK: from 9/15/08:

“U.S. President George W. Bush said Monday he is confident
that the markets are resilient and can deal with the latest financial blows.
“We are working to reduce disruptions and minimize the impact
these financial market developments on the broader economy.” ...

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama
said eight years of Bush “brought us the most serious financial crisis
since the Great Depression.”

His Republican rival said John McCain said he was happy the
federal government decided not to use taxpayer dollars to bail out Lehman Brothers.”

How did Obama know THEN
that we would experience the ‘most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression’
when those who did not plan the takeover would not know for three more months?

October 10, 2008, another massive selloff.

I can’t seem to come to terms with it. I will do what I can until the fat porkies sing.

Meagans flipping out on Fox....”They don't know what's in there, they don't know whats in there”. The guest says “they haven't read it” and she says “They're VOTING on it”!!!

Lord help us all!

I am determined that we are going to hang this debacle around the necks of the RATs in 2010 and not let them up for air. I want pressure put on ZERO so finally the press has to admit he is an angry person who is not what is best for America but for the terrorist. What better way then to bankrupt our Country.

ZERO is so thin-skinned that it won’t take much to push him over. Also want Gov Crist ground into the ground so he can never run again after his playing up to ZERO when he wouldn’t help McCain campaign in FL.

Yes. Only violence would work now, and violence is illegal. (Moreover, most Americans are practically incapable of it, having been neutered by govt schools and welfare programs.)

[MNlurker]

Commendable...I’m just steeling myself for the next act. I don’t think anything about this administration will go over well by the summer.

[NoGrayZone]

Fox News is going through all that’s in the porkulus.

Well, I am glad you are calm. I am not. I think there is a chance that this could be killed because of the last minute change to Health Care that was just placed in.

This may change some minds. If it does, then the bill could die.

Call me an optimist, but it could happen.

Ever hear the expression, ‘let's do something even if it is wrong’? That is Peloser, Scary Reid, and Obozo’s response to our economic situation. We need a bi-partisan response that will actually address our economic situation.

Spending our children's money won't work and it is immoral to put our children into debt.

[NoGrayZone]

Thanks, but I don't think I can handle a next act. It's frightening to think there is only one way out of the corner they are pushing us into.

[MNlurker]

Really its comical at this point.

[mrsmel]

I’ve realised it-I haven’t reached acceptance of it quite yet. But with so many “citizens” waiting breathlessly for their share of the free ride, I don’t know what the alternative is.

[NoGrayZone]

This may change some minds. If it does, then the bill could die.

Call me an optimist, but it could happen.

For my sanity and stomach contents, I'm standing with you on that one.

Save your time, stregnth, and effort.

By ammo.

Keep conservative Democrats on you speed dialers!

Pryor, Bayh, Nelson (NE), Tester, Dorgan....

I am throw up sick. The public schools have done this to us. That and the unregulated immigration into our country.

SICK.
