It’s absolutely outrageous! And, this is in addition to the billions it will take to bailout Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. It makes it really difficult to argue against government handouts and entitlement programs when we’re stepping in to finance irresponsible business practices by overpaid CEOs. We may not have to worry about Obama screwing anything up. Our entire capitalistic economy may be nothing but a memory by January 20.
Here’s a CNN report on Bush’s defense of the bailout.
Everyone should be outraged. If you’re as angry as I am, send this link to the White House, your representatives and your senators by following the links below.
Before we become the USSA, the United Socialist States of America, let’s clog their phone lines and email systems and fill their mailboxes to let them know just how outraged we are!
