Well.... The "Bailout" was voted down today and the market crashed. Many of you are thinking that it is only going to get worse, and it likely will. But that does not mean that we need to have our elected officials vote for a piece of legislation that no one liked, including most of Congress. This bill did not even have the support of 95 Democrats, what does their leadership think of that. This bill was loaded with lots of extras, that we don't have the money for! How can Congress try to pass a "Bailout" and have members from both sides try to add on special interest "crap". This is insane. The Republican's have a plan that will hold Wall Street, not Main Street, responsible for their own bailout. Cut capital gains taxes, eliminate the death tax, and so on. But it is not likely Speaker Pelosi will allow it to the floor.
As your representatives come home to ask you to re-elect them to serve you in Washington, remember that they are there to serve themselves. Ask them how it is that many of them arrive in Washington making a good, but not great salary for the job they do, and almost always end up rich? They like to hear themselves talk, take special interest dollars and give us programs that help no one. There are lots of people to blame, including us. We put them on the Hill and we can take them off. It is not a retirement community, it is an American community. So as soon as your representative stops listening to you and your other like minded neighbors, what ever your views are, send them packing.
We need to have people in Washington who care about the Country and not their image. "We the People" are going to get more of this unless "We" get them out of there. We need to vote new ideas, not Obamadeas, into Washington that will actually work for all Americans. Let these self-important fools know that they are not the gods they think they are. They are ruining our country and they have to be voted out before this will stop. Keep burning up the phone lines and filling the mailboxes on Capitol Hill.
