No surprise, the House backpeddaled earlier today and voted for the abhorrent bailout of the criminal Wall Street elite. By a 263-171 vote, our treasonous "representatives" slit our throats and transferred nearly a trillion dollars in debt from the books of the banks to the books of the government - in other words, your checkbook.
President Bush has already signed the bill into law, and now we can sit back and listen to the cable news shows tell us how great and necessary this was. I mean, the MSM can't even tell you the proper amount of this ridiculous bill. It's over $800 million after some adjustments, and they're still calling it $700 million! It's only way down in the article - if they say it at all - that they give the proper amount.
God help us.
