Taxation without representation. I can't wait to see the voting record. Anyone think that Obama and/or McCain abstains from voting on this?

No one is reporting this, it was on CSPAN.. no youtube of it either.. dammit..

They'll prolly both vote for it..
I've been thinking the same thing, Dave. I bet they both vote for the bailout. If the bill doesn't pass and the economy goes into a depression, they'll have egg on their faces if they vote against.

On the other hand, if one of them stands up and says ... "My fellow Americans, I will not vote to bale out billionaires against the wishes of the American People ..." Or ... "My Fellow Americans, I will not vote for 700 billion dollars in corporate welfare, leaving the American Taxpayers holding the bag." then that would leave that person looking like a principled statesman who has grown a couple of Palins. :lol:

If you hadn't noticed, it's not billionaires that are suffering. It's everyone else. What the heck do billionaires need credit for? AT&T can't get credit. GM can't get credit. Caterpillar is having problems, and paying higher rates, to get credit. Car sales are waaaay down because it's getting mighty hard for anyone to get a car loan now.

This isn't a bailout for billionaires. This is economic lubricant to keep the economy functioning, so normal people can do the things they need to do, like buy/sell cars and houses, get student loans, get their home remodeled, keep their jobs, that kind of thing. My brother-in-law just got laid off from his job because his boss couldn't access short-term credit to make payroll, and my bro-in-law wasn't willing to work for nothing. My bro-in-law did nothing wrong, nor did his boss, but even so, the business is shut down and my bro-in-law is out of a job. I assure you, he isn't a billionaire either. Our economy is staggering to a halt. If that continues, a whole lot more people will be jobless in a month or two. When your company can't meet payroll, they have to cut back, or shut down.

As long as your income isn't job-dependent, and as long as you don't need credit for anything, and don't need to sell anything that would require the buyer to need credit, then you'll be fine even if it doesn't pass.

Can you think of another way to accomplish this without hitting the taxpayers up for 700 billion and socializing 5 trillion worth of mortgages?

I can.

What if there were a way to get the several TRILLION dollars sitting offshore to come back to this country?

We could do that almost overnight.

What if there were a way to return economic liberty to the citizens of the U.S.?


There is, you know. :)
