"To My Reps in Congress:
I do not support the current bailout package for several reasons: 1)hundreds of economists who reject it are not being listened to; 2) no judicial review; 3) doesn’t help main street or homeowners; 4) doesn’t put in place adequate oversight; 5) doesn’t provide jobs to the American people; 6) doesn’t cut Wall St. compensation packages to greedy CEOs.
I’m not against a bailout, just this one. Is there no other plan? This fear-laden, panicked rush to save our country is too reminiscent of how we got into the Iraq war.
Where were Barney Frank et al when everything was melting down over the last 7 years? Why were the largest Wall St. contributions taken by Dodd, Obama, and Kerry? Why didn’t Congress heed Bush’s warnings to curb Wall St. excesses and failings for years?
I’m a lifelong Democrat and ashamed of my Party, especially Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Dodd, Obama. To blame it all on Bush is a joke. Where were the Dems who promised to turn things around? Why didn’t Pelosi and all stop the war, which is how they won in 2006? She’s now pontificating against the Repubs, and her hypocrisy makes me ill. Where was she? Where was the fight
of the Dems till now?..."
