Congress has failed. Completely. A Congressman says, ‘this is the worst I have seen in my career’. I wonder, what has he been doing during that career.

This bail for the economy is the SUM TOTAL of Congress’s career actions. This is what they have done for us.

The Liberal Congress has engineered a giving away of the store. And today I get an email from MoveOn asking for more money.

OF. ALL. THE. FRAKKIN. GALL.

Goodbye Congressman. Goodbye Senator. Don’t come home, you’re a disgrace.

The increase from $100,000 to $250,000 was supposed to cover small businesses that could easily have more than $100,000 in the bank.

What I am puzzled about though is that, going back the S&L crisis, I seem to remember that the FDIC insurance was for individuals, not businesses.

Single Accounts (owned by one person): $100,000 per owner
Joint Accounts (two or more persons): $100,000 per co-owner
The FDIC web site is incredible vague
stating that these are the “the most common ownership categories”

If my memory serves me correctly then, the new $250,000 limit would then only act as a safe haven for individuals cashing out of the stock and money markets, which is exactly what the government should be trying to avoid.

Pretty cold words:

Most every American misses what Ben Franklin meant when he said that poverty should NOT be comfortable, so as to motivate that persons exit from that state.

…but I have to admit the economic downturn REALLY has people motivated in many different senses; politically, socially, economically, personally, etc.

I actually ran a test ad for one of my books yesterday. Time to look at ways to make some dinero.

Barney Frank was only the fiasco’s spokesman.

Carter, then Clinton (twice) gave it legs by their idiotic notion that the poor deserved to live like their much more productive fellow citizens.

On this last, the Republicans didn’t, and still don’t, reject that notion. Most every American misses what Ben Franklin meant when he said that poverty should NOT be comfortable, so as to motivate that persons exit from that state.

Corruption comes in all sorts of ways, but this man has got to be close to the bottom of the pit.
If you haven’t read this yet, please do. It’s about Franks sexual relationship with the head of Fanny Mae for about 10 years. Not the current period, but nevertheless unacceptable, especially since the relationship was known. It seems as if that might have a reason to make him head of the finance committee instead of a reason _not_ to put him in that position.

The more correct poll would read as follows…

Who is more to blame for the Wall Street meltdown?

100% – Politicians (every damn one of them!)

The ones that sat by and let the arsonists set fire to the economy and then didn’t raise the alarm until help arrived to put it out are guilty too! They are guilty of self preservation. Why else would they not climb atop the highest mountain and scream?

Time for Americans to get angry, aware, and assertive. These folks work for us, and we must demand that they do their jobs or resign!
