Let Them FailBy Patrick Britton on November 13th, 2008 |
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! Our country has taught every major company that they are too big to fail. These companies have driven themselves to the failure that we now see and instead of letting them collapse the US government has decided to prop them up. The free market system has been abando... -
How is Your $700 Billion Being Spent?By Patrick Britton on October 21st, 2008 |
While the media has pushed this into the background I am going to keep bringing it up to keep it fresh in your mind. Why? So that when you hit the voting booths next month you will remember to vote every politician that voted for this bill out of office. We can not allow them to get away with the abuse and enabling of corrupt CEO’s and their ... -
What was That Bailout for Again?By Patrick Britton on October 10th, 2008 |
President Bush and most of congress for rushed for the bailout like tomorrow wouldn’t exist without it. They did their best to convince us that without that trillion dollar bailout that the markets were going to crash and that a great depression was on it’s way. We didn’t buy it but our congress did. Instead of denying Wall St. an... -
The Pork in the Bailout BillBy Patrick Britton on October 4th, 2008 |
To add on top of the $700 Billion–more like trillion–there is also $110 billion worth of pork in the bailout bill. So, Senator McCain, are you still against earmarks? I would say not considering you voted for this pile of crap. Wooden arrows designed for use by children This provision was put into the bill by Oregon Senators Smith and W... -
Congress Wanted This Bailout. Let Them pay for It.By Patrick Britton on October 4th, 2008 |
The first version of the bailout bill was bad. The final passed version was even worse. The simple four page bill swelled into it’s final version of over 400 pages. What’s the stuff in these pages? Millions of dollars in pork. The original bill that would give away trillions of dollars to corrupt bankers wasn’t big enough so the... -
The House Has Spoken: “Bend Over” Roll Ca...By Patrick Britton on October 3rd, 2008 |
It was just a few days ago that the House stood above their own selfish desires and spoke for the American people. For a moment the country knew that their opinion mattered. We felt for that small period of time that the Representatives were actually representing us. Well, throw that out the window. The House has done the flip-flop of the century. ... -
Get Ready to be RobbedBy Patrick Britton on October 3rd, 2008 |
The House was victorious the first time around in knocking down the trillion dollar bailout. The Senate failed to do so and was more than happy to butter it up with earmarks before finally passing it. It’s not clear what the House will do to change the bill today but it is clear that it will probably pass. I want these so-called Representativ... -
Does McCain and Obama’s Support for the Bailout...By Patrick Britton on October 2nd, 2008 |
The public outcry against the bailout bill has been tremendous. Phones are ringing off the hook and people are peeved. That hasn’t stopped both Obama and McCain from getting on top of the bailout and touting it as necisarry. They both voted for the bill as well. Being the maverick that he is I am shocked that McCain didn’t come out agai... -
The Senators That Said No and WhyBy Patrick Britton on October 2nd, 2008 |
I have to give these twenty-five brave souls credit. The fear mongers have been screaming that the Apocalypse was coming but they held their own. For whatever reason they decided to stand up for the American people. They didn’t listen to the cries of Wall St. or the begging of President Bush, Barack Obama or John McCain. Here is the list of t... -
Bailout Round Two Results. Roll Call AddedBy Patrick Britton on October 1st, 2008 |
The amendment has been passed. 74-25. Total crap sandwich. Stay tuned for roll call vote. I do know that both Obama and McCain voted yes. It now goes to the house to decide if we have to pay Wall St. up to a trillion dollars. Bravo. Roll call will show up here once it is available. Here is the Senate site to watch. YEAs —74 Akaka (D-HI) ...
