| 19. Without the two Independents there'd be no Democratic majority |
|
And frankly, someone needs to speak out about this. This is a blatant transfer of wealth from the middle and working class to the wealthy. I'm not even sure if we need to do the bailout in such a matter. We're literally giving money to the people who bankrupted the system in the first place without doing a proper job of fixing that which caused these Wall Street numskulls to muck up the works in the first place. Nothing that this administration has wanted to rush through has turned out to be remotely decent. I don't see that streak breaking at this late stage of the game.
Regards
