Well It's finally happened. The Vote for the now smaller bailout of $15 Billion came and went, with the Senate unable to pass it.
Rest in Peace Bailout...
I just don't understand it. Why can't these people that WE elect to office, that are supposed to think of the interests of their constituents, and the PEOPLE of this nation as a whole get this vote right? Why do they throw around false propaganda taht "auto workers make $71 per hour" when anyone that watches or reads the news understands that the number includes many other factors, the largest being medical coverage.
Now we have these idiot Republican senators continually spouting these "numbers" and saying that the AUTO WORKERS need to make concessions to bring that number in line with what the Japanese and Germans pay their workers in America. Aren't these the same Senators that rail against the idea of the World Court, and insist that what other countries do with their laws shouldn't impact or effect U.S. Law? So now these same Republicans, who spent millions of dollars telling the country they were for "real americans" and "hard working families", want what foreign companies pay their people to be the same as what GM, Ford, and Chrysler pay their Union workers! This is OUTRAGEOUS!!
$700 BILLION DOLLARS passed practically without a whimper from the Republicans, with NO Agenda, NO Oversight, and they had to produce NO PLAN as to how they would use it. These thieves that preyed upon people by selling people risky mortgages, and selling those to their competitors to rip them off, get whatever they want, while the "real americans" that those republicans "cared about", and "pray with" suffer because there Unions now need to give even more so the workers get less.
I am sick and tired of this. Please whoever reads this, write or call your Senators and if you have a Republican Senator, tell them your letter or phone call is from a "REAL AMERICAN- you know, the one whose vote you wanted in the last few election" GET THIS BILL PASSED AND DONE!! I am so tired of having to listen to this nonsense every night when I look at the News or read it online. This should be done not as Republican or Democrat, but as Americans, it's the patriotic thing to do!!!
