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.
House Votes Against Bailout
I assume that most people have heard by now that the bailout was sunk by the Republicans in the House of Representatives yesterday. It pretty much came down to the last few minutes of the votes that we got to see liberty actually getting a victory. I just find it funny that a majority of Democrats supported a dangerous plan that was supported by Bush and his cronies. Just more proof that Dems and Reps are no different.
