So true it's sad.

Once more, the American people en masse spoke their piece about not wanting the bailout deal, even managed to overwhelm capitol hills email system with the volume of emails and .... congress just went about their merry way and did WTF THEY and their handlers (puppetmasters is really closer to the truth) party, investors, etc. wanted them to do and voted it in anyway.

I'm curious if anyone else finds it odd that some piece of legislation like this comes along and the 1st and often 2nd round of congressional voting defeats the measure, with congressional members publicly sayin they voted due to their constituants desires, but .... in the last vote, it gets passed anyway, even when public opinion has remained fairly constant in having opposed it.

I never spoke with one single person in favor of this bailout, personally or in business, the news was filled with oppositional opinions from folks all over the place, congressmen/women all stated public opinion was against it, so when did that all miraculously change

...

Pork, my brother. Over $100 Billion in additional pork, to get people who originally opposed the bill to vote for it, by giving them pork-money for their districts. Plain and simple, and it makes me ill.

I hear ya dude, but like I said, that damned sure didn change the public outcry by their constituants to NOT vote it in. All in all this is a fuckin our great grand-kids will still be payin on. And ... the ones that truly stand to benefit from the bail out most will be the same ones that caused it in the 1st fuckin place

Not only did John/Jane Q Public get fucked again by their governmental "representatives" (though I feel sure that concept is totally lost on them!), none of us even got a dinner, much less a kiss outta the deal and .... the god damned vaseline they used was loaded with sand, which is prefft much SOP anyway, so ...
