The very same measure that was voted down in the House of Representatives on Monday, is up for a vote in the Senate TONIGHT. This is the exact same corporate welfare hand-out to Wall Street investment banks, drawing $700 BILLION in future debt to shore up a crooked and inherently flawed lending system. This will not fix anything. It will just put a finger in the dyke. The rich greed-head assholes that are clamoring for this money to "save" them know that in the senate there are less players, and that it is easier to coerce them away from what the desires of their constituents are.
The fear-mongers keep saying that to "maintain economic growth" this money needs to be put into the system. Our policies of de-regulation of investment firms and banks over the past 28 years simply do not work. the idea, old by now, that rewarding the richest and most powerful of the nation benefits everyone is FALSE. "Trickle down economics" at it's finest, and it is a flat-out LIE.
Please click and find the contact information for your Senator. Call them or email them. THEY ARE LISTENING. Let them know in plain words how you feel. Tell them if you do not understand why bailing out filthy rich corporations and investment banklers is supposed to help the average american. Tell them you want any federal money, taxpayer money, to go directly to helping taxpayers, not the top 2% of the population. Tell them you want your Senator to vote NO, and remind them that election day is right around the corner. TELL THEM TO EXPLAIN IT.
LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD.
Their greed and callousness will drive our country into recession, and that will happen with or without this bail out plan. Americans in the millions are bombarding their representatives telling them that we are willing to deal with 5+ years of slow or no growth to better improve our financial systems for the long haul.
If individuals choose to invest follishly in worthless endeavors, there is no one out there to rescue them, and the general idea is they got what they paid for. Why does this not apply to the rich multi billion dollar investment firms and banks?
TAKE BACK THE SENATE
