9/23/08- TWD's Agenda of the Day- Attempting to Rob Us in Front of Our Very Eyes
Shameful, disgraceful, egregious, dishonest, horrible, cowardly, pathetic, evil.
And those are just the rated PG words for what Henry Paulsen and the Cheney Administration are trying to do with this $700 trillion bailout plan that they want to rush as fast as Usain Bolt ran in Beijing last month. You don't need to be even remotely versed in the economic/finance sector as the great Paul Krugerman of the New York Times is to understand the real test of whether those currently in our governmental offices in Washington D.C. really care about you, your family, friends, enemies even, and me.
And what is even more frightening is that it goes beyond the incongruous partisan Republican and corrupt, trading in their party values for their own benefit Democrats, and, of course, the real ringmasters of this mess besides the greedy ones on Fall Street and the banks around them, the ones located at Pennsylvania Avenue. You know, the ones who let the treasury secretary take over instead of doing the damn job of a president and vice president in this crisis.
It could be an outside source holding the country at ransom. It is that deep, the possibilities of the scenario actually taking place right now is staggering.
Seriously, have you heard even one peep about this mess out of Cheney's voice since Black Monday and Tuesday of last week? Hell, the last time you heard from him is when he was making a fool of himself as he always does in his corrupt, arrogant soul by telling a stupid joke on why West Virginians vote a certain way earlier in the summer. Robert Byrd, the long time Democratic Senator of the state and former member of the KKK way back in the day, definitely let his voice be heard over the tasteless comments from the worst Vice President in history in regards to defaming his state (which looks to be on course of getting it wrong again come Presidental time).
But Cheney could give a damn about that title given to him.
Back to the matter at hand, and some of the things you are going to read (or hopefully read) about the acuity of the behind the door deals, and why the hell a bill like this would even be proposed with no checks on whether this same administration will sell their souls to damage the country for their own personal agendas will shock you. And hopefully it will urge you to understand the bigger picture of the situation.
Because if this bill is passed the way "King Henry" wants it to be passed, then it doesn't matter whether it's Obama (who hates this bill the way it is and spoke out against it on Sunday in Charlotte and today as well) or McShame as President.
The bank vault in D.C. will be made barren. And no programs like universal health care or GI Bill benefits could really take place unless a dramatically different economic plan than the one currently representing the Democratic nominee unfolds. And it will put Obama's first term in an absolute meat-grinder of hypocrisy and criticism undeserved. But that will sit well with Paulsen, all the big banks who got us into this mess with their avarice, and all their rich friends around us.
And it will certainly sit well with the Shrub, Dick Vader, and McFool, especially if he is elected.
The Read- Articles and Perspectives About This Financial Crisis and How Alarmingly and Disturbingly this Bill Being Proposed, Is
1. From Inky99 at the Kos, the pompous nut that is Ben Stein has a piece in Yahoo that will shock you, especially after you see this statement:
They now owe the buyers of these Credit Default Swaps on junk mortgage debt trillions of dollars. It is this liability that is the bottomless pit of liability for the financial institutions of America.
2. Jonathan Singer at MYDD says Americans hate this damn bailout
3. And from the brilliant economist Jerome a Paris at the Kos, the behind the scenes blackmail is going down hard.
Those are just a list of the many analysis and insights on this very pressing matter that you will see tonight.
And you won't believe this, but the "uppity" label on Obama will get pushed in this already ugly election even more, where lies and smears from the SOP come no matter how despicable they look.
