It sounds like some people in the House of Representatives have decided to actually represent the people that voted them into office. The final verdict was 228-205. Thanks to the Republicans the unconstitutional bailout bill was shut down. 133 Republicans said no and 95 Democrats said no. We were told that the bailout failure would spell disaster for Wall St. and Stocks did fall but only 5%, not the 20-30% they tried to sell us.

Reactions from Obama and McCain are below as well.

Who is on your side? Let’s get right to the list of people who voted to hand over up to a trillion of your dollars.

It’s nice to hear that some people decided to come against this bill. The fact that more people didn’t vote against it shows how many of them don’t vote with the American voter in mind. Let’s remember that all of these people are up for election in November. If they said yes and feel the need to hand out billions of our money to save Wall St. then they don’t belong in office. The government has no right to be bailing out any organization at our expense. They keep telling us that Wall St. is going to fail. I’ve yet to see it and firmly believe we will get through this turmoil. Bailing out failed companies that make bad investment decisions is not the answer.
