Another three trillion down the drain.
Does the phrase "Miserable Failure" ring a bell?

OTOH AIG had another nice party and someone
is getting a lot of taxpayer money .... well, debt to
the taxpayer, anyway. THEY got the money.

No accountability either AFAIK. Just
free money ... How did this get started
again?

Well CONGRESS and Bush decided something had to be done. Paulson proposed
the bailout, they wrote it up and sent it to CONGRESS.

The HOUSE votes and rejects it. Let the games begin!
Pelosi in her brillant leadership role blames the Republicans(surprize!) but
96 Dems vote NO the first time as well. If as LEADER of the HOUSE Dems she
got 20 or so of those 96 to vote YES, it would have PASSED first time!
But no she blames the Republicans......great leader that she is.

A few days later, what was sent to CONGRESS as a THREE PAGE Bill becomes a
FOUR HUNDRED PAGE Bill loaded with PORK. And now it PASSES!

Sent to Bush and he signs it as he said he would.

And that is how this got started!

Happy about it...nope. Are they going to end up doing more...yup. Is this
the only solution, well it seems to be now, as everyone with a lobbyist is
sreaming they need money.
Will it get better, once the smoke clears it will, could take years and as
with 9/11 things will be different, but it will not the same as it was
before. Welcome to the new Europe, land of the dole and socialisim. Once
even more people start sucking on the government money "tit", it was the
end.
