Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank stood at a podium Sunday and announced their approval of a $700 billion-dollar raid on the US Treasury. Tell the guards to get out the forklifts and help load up the BushCo trucks with pallets of Benjamins.

My own brief input on this was merely to call it looting, which it is, and then I asked "why," which apparently some people thought wasn't a rhetorical question. Of course I know why. They're doing it BECAUSE THEY CAN.
As others pointed out, both Pelosi and Frank have friends and business connections on Wall Street. You can also bet that neither one is stupid enough to think this act of piracy is anything more than a feeble gesture to delay the impending collapse of the hollowed out US economy.
Bushies hoped to delay this inevitable collapse until after they were safely out of office, perhaps holed up in a fortress in Paraguay.

100,000 acres of prime real estate. Does the US have an extradition treaty with Paraguay? Actually they do, but the decision is up to a judge...

Anyway, as things stand, it appears We The People are about to get screwed, AGAIN, by the people we elected in 2006 to oppose the crimes of the BushCo Syndicate. First they refused to impeach criminals George Bush and Dick Cheney. Now they're going to let them rob us of another trillion dollars. You didn't really think it would stop at $700 billion, did you?

The truth about this multi-trillion dollar ripoff is being carefully hidden from by the MSM and, maddeningly, by our own Democratic congress critters. Not only is this money being stolen by Wall Street, but the theft itself will merely delay the big collapse of the US economy to sometime next year. Probably early.
