Man, we got sold down the river. I couldn't believe it! I've not been so politically active in quite some time. This is a disaster of epic proportion.
First they tried to pass the "bail out" bill on Monday but the people shut down the switch boards with opposition to this bill. So they changed the name and added 400 and something pages to it and passed it Wednesday in the Senate against the will of the people. Then the house passed it Friday morning. They call it the "economic rescue" bill now.
There are some real bad things in this bill. They have given the Treasury dictatorial powers over the state and full diplomatic immunity.
I heard some congressmen talking about what happened and they said they were threatened with physical Martial Law in the streets if they didn't sign. They used terms like "lions would be eating babies". The Army Times reported that they were bringing in the 3rd infantry brigade home to the US to patrol the streets Oct 1st. They are bringing more.
This is nothing but a band-aid as far as fixing the screw ups of the corporations. They will be back for more. What's really bad is the money is being used to bail out foreign corporations as well. Wonder how they paid for that enormous collider in Switzerland? Guess the US tax payer gets to pay for it now. It was bought on credit.
What are your thoughts?
