Dear pathetic Congressional Leaders…

Really?  Could either side be any more RIDICULOUS while ‘we the people’ sit ON THE VERGE of possibly the darkest moment in our nations history? I’m not taking either side, I’m objective enough to understand that ONLY TIME WILL TELL who was right in voting for or against this bailout or rescue bill (depending on how you look at it). I am enraged at how our so-called leaders acted under pressure today. I embrace my lack of financial knowledge but I’ve watched and read enough over the last few days to see through the CRAP. So here are the facts and frustrations. Facts first:

228 voted against the bill (95 Democrats and 133 Republicans)

I’m not opposed to voting against this bill but I find it interesting that the far left and the far right agreed that this bill is fundamentally wrong ….or…. maybe some voted against it b/c they are up for re-election and most americans HATE the bill…..

The center of both parties agreed upon and voted FOR the bill. 

The vote failed and the DOW plummeted 778 or 777.68 (if you are Perry Stone) which is the biggest one day point drop in HISTORY. (Not the biggest percentage drop, see 1987 crash)

frustrations:

What could prove to be the end of America as a super power (according to some), some dirty and immature politicians broke the legs off the wobbly chair-of-a-bill. Maybe things will settle and the market will prove resilience. 

Pelosi should be dropped off for a 6 month torture swim in the icy-cold atlantic because she spewed her partisan vomit all over the halls of congress which then in turn, some (12-15 republicans) tasted the vomit and reacted like children who need diapers and a lesson in growing up. Some knee jerk republicans voted against the bill which may have assisted Pelosi’s torpedo aimed to sink America’s financial ship. 

So we, hard working Americans, have to sit and watch this economy either hold on for dear life until Thursday when congress re-convenes or we just may watch the implosion of a global economy at which point a bill/vote may not even matter. 

All of the blame can’t be fully placed on today’s vile actions. But these actions accurately portray a incompetent government to prevent such a disaster and it also accurately portrays a greedy system of people who brought an economical giant to her knees with a gun to her head.
