11. And now a word from Pete DeFazio D-Oregon

I am very happy that DeFazio is my rep in Congress. I wrote him last week with my concern that the Bailout looked too much like the Patriot Act, etc.

His email reply included:
"Thank you for contacting me about the Bush Administration bailout. I am vehemently opposed to this bailout.

I was the first Member of Congress to take to the House floor and stand up in opposition to this $700 billion bailout. The financial crisis we face today does not need to be resolved by forking over $700 billion from the taxpayer to the "Masters of the Universe" on Wall Street.

The fundamental premise of the $700 billion Bush Administration bailout is flawed, reckless, and foolish. It is flawed because it is not clear it will achieve its stated objective of injecting commercial banks with liquidity and it ignores the needs of main street America, it is reckless because there are better alternatives, and it is foolish because giving away $700 billion will limit our ability to deal with the myriad of other problems we face such as healthcare, energy independence, and job creation."

I agree 100%

17. Whatever They End Up Doing, They Should Not Do This

Bush doesn't know what it is to have "consequences" for having destroyed something; this is a blank "road map," with no slogans or nothing. Notice, that they will now shift the blame from the criminals who destroyed the assets, laws, practices, accounting, etc., of all these financial transactions, by all these crimes, fake "profits," offshore tax/profit havens, insider trading, double-bookkeeping, inflated stock prices, hidden losses, on and on and on, to those who fought a bill afterward, that should not have passed, and only benefits corporate ties to the Treasury Secretary--and will now magically claim, that the cause of the whole problem, is opposition to a horribly worded bill that corrected none of it.
