Bailout Deal Failed
The Federal bailout deal did not pass.
Have you heard Nancy Pelosi speech right before everybody voted? Pelosi’s goal was to convince mostly Republicans to pass the bill right? Even though many nay votes came from the Democrats too. Then why did she insult the Bush administration so much!? I don’t get it. Did she want the bailout to pass? Obviously not, or she would not have insulted the Bush administration so greatly, or perhaps she was just not thinking at all.
Now, everybody says we must immediately go back to the drawing board and make up a plan as soon as possible. Isn’t it clear that the American people do not want this bill, because it didn’t pass?! I don’t think we need to jump into this quick-fix so hastily. We need to think about this plan a little more. I mean we are already letting people that were part of the problem create a solution.
Ok, I know I’m screaming down an empty hallway, but I’m going to try this anyway…
Nancy (gulp) Pelosi (cough) didn’t sink this bill. If she did, then your party needs a diaper change, some nice powder, and a thicker blanky. The Dems gave the two thirds they promised would be on board. You guys voted two thirds against.
I hate to sound elitist, but most of the people in America aren’t economists, but they are directly or indirectly tied into the market. I originally came out opposed to this plan, as it was a knee jerk reaction to “givin’ the fat cats my dang money, boy!” Then I sat, and spoke to people much more versed on this than I am, had some whiskey, heard what they had to say, had some more whiskey, and finally understood.
Please, I know he’s Jewish, but they know from money, listen to Paul Krugman on this one. Hell, even Ben Stein recognizes that this thing should’ve gone through.
Again, I know this is going to be hard for the Fox News crowd, but pull yourselves away from that station, the EIB, and visit your local library, or a website that deals strictly in economic policy, and verse yourselves on this.
Cheers
