House Denies People, Passes Bailout
Apparently, when a vast majority of constituents want the government to leave the economy alone, in favor of protecting tax payers and making the markets right themselves, the House of Representatives is only capable of listening one time. When it comes around a second time, they're going to turncoat and vote in favor of wasting $700 billion. No matter how big the outcry, it doesn't change a thing. The thing that apparently made the difference? Billions more added onto the bill as pork! If that doesn't show you that politicians only look out for themselves, I don't know what does.
Senate = Corporate Whores
I couldn't stand the thought of actually watching C-SPAN and listening to our insubordinate Senators drone on and on and on about how we needed this legilsature to pass to help the economy (regardless of how obvious it is that it will help further destroy it). I did, however, try to have some hope that a simple majority of our Senators would be smart enough to send this legislature packing, the same way the House did on Monday. Apparently, this house of Congress didn't want to obey the people, as they stomped on the Constitution and the outcries of the American people in an overwhelming vote of 74-25 in favor of this economic measure.
