Senate Expected To Pass Financial "Rescue Plan" The Senate today is expected to take up and pass the $700 billion proposal to right the financial markets; a vote in the House is expected later this week.. The Washington Times notes the bill is now being dubbed a "rescue plan" by proponents, who believe the term "bailout" engendered much of the public animosity toward the plan. USA Today reports the Senate "is moving to revive a $700 billion Wall Street rescue plan with a vote tonight that Democratic and Republican leaders predicted will put the legislation on track for enactment later this week." Sens. John McCain, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden "announced they will interrupt their...campaigns to vote for the measure."
YES, because the PEOPLE are fucking idiots and won’t know that you can call it a “bailout”, a “rescue plan” or God damn “Freedom Payments” but that it’s still the same thing. MAYBE that’s the problem – you think that all people are fools as compared to you – only you in Congress, government & the administration are in a great way responsible for allowing this to happen.
Let’s review: People were told they have to pay for illegal immigration, even though no one wanted it; People were told they had to pay for the war in Iraq, even though they didn’t want it; People were told they had to give up a level of their privacy with the strong-arming through of the domestic wiretapping program; People were told they had to put up with Bush’s upper class tax cuts because it would “trickle down” to them, even though they didn’t want it ….
And Congress is surprised that people don’t want to pony up for the bailout? That they don’t bow to your alleged superiority in understanding and directing the situation? You think that perhaps the NAME of the freakin’ plan is what’s turning people against it? ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID??
So let’s see… it’s 5 weeks before election day and every one of the House members that voted against the plan just happened to be in a contentious race, or WAS in a contentious race last time. Amazing. So the ONLY time the electorate is considered is when you might lose your office. Other than that, YOU know better and everyone in your constituency is an uninformed moron. Riiiight.
Oh, and the new “attractive” measures of the revised plan include such gems as increasing the FDIC protected amount of money in institutions. And making sure that health care insurers cover more treatment of mental disorders. Yes, all fine and dandy, but they DON’T ADDRESS THE ISSUE.
Wake the fuck up.
