I am not angry at Pelosi but I am MAD AS HELL at the Bush administration, most (ok maybe all) Republicans and at all the people who put these morons in office.
Their thoughts that government should be hands off almost everything are the reason we're in this mess. This is another Katrina but I hate to say it on a MUCH larger scale. This "bailout" is needed and we also had to have significant Republican buy in on the hill. Without Republican buy in and votes on this plan you know what would have happened... they would have hammered democrats for the next two year NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED and IMO would have cost us big time in 2010 (and who knows maybe even this year by reducing gains... but I don't think so).
I think our leaders on the hill did a decent job. Could the bill be better sure but you could say that about any bill goes through. I for one hope that this plan works to stop the bleeding because if it does not we are ALL going to hurting more than you can even imagine. Doing nothing is not an option . They are not telling us how bad it is. Even with this plan I worry that the credit markets will freeze up completely... God help us if that happens.
So, thank you Speaker Pelosi and our other leaders in Washington working for the best possible deal. Something had to be done WITH REPUBLICAN SUPPORT!
I know I will most likely be drilled... or ignored for posting this diary but this is my opinion and I wanted to post it because I know I am not alone out there.
