Well as seen in the Senate version of the bail out plan Congress is at it again. More billions for extra spending that has nothing to do with the economic crisis we are presently in. This bill was or is suppose to be so important yet they can find the time to include all their pet spending projects. Their actions are disgusting.
But what makes me livid is both presidential candidates who have been quoted as saying no ear marks, no pork barrel – well both voted in favor of the Senate bail out plan.
No one seems to have any character any more. You can not believe anything politicians say. I am more convinvced than ever that campaigns are not necessary – what’s the point – no one keeps their word. The Congress good ole boy system is not going to change. Congressional interest is in themselves and their very rich friends.
Whatever happened to Government for the people by the people. Congress does not have anything included in this bail out package to help homeowners keep their homes. They don’t even know if this plan will work. I am sorely disappointed and now am not in favor of any bail out at all. Let’s just ley the cards fall where they may. That sounds a little radical to some – but let’s face it – we the people are almost broke anyway – so we really don’t have much to loose. It’s the fat cats that will loose the most and those who are in Congress. Perhaps they will not be in any position to put the screws to us anymore.
Senator McCain said he had to vote for it because the bail out out portions was so important. Well excuses, excuses, excuses – they always have them and this is precisely the reason why our country is in such bad shape now. Our National Debt is in the Trillions of dollars, money was borrowed from China to send us our economic stimulus plan checks, and now we are going in debt for almost another trillion dollars – and the Congress still wants to use this opportunity to spend a few more billion.
Well enough about my position but do go to Loudobbs.com and follow the links to send an email to your House of Representatives and tell them your view on this bailout plan – or you can call 202-224-3121 and express your opinion.
We are in a mess but Congress is once again making it much worse.
