Deceived by the government again?

they cried with fear and other emotive rhetoric how we needed to have this almost trillion dollar bail out (bailing them out, not us)

It came at the last moment. No time to discuss it or examine it. It came loaded with pork barrel spending. It came with questionable oversight. It came on the backs of the tax payers. It came to you that YOU need this to save your 401ks...

And despite that when it did not pass the market went up. After it DID pass the market has dropped dramatically.

THEN...THEN we were told the bail out will only work when housing prices go up.

I don't know about you guys but Im finding out how my representatives voted and I am voting against them in the next election and Jn McCain? He voted for it too...pork barrel and all..So did Obama.

No comments? Right or wrong?

This whole bailout plan has me to disgusted to go about my daily life if I spend too much time thinking about it.
The perfect opportunity for John McCain to sweep the election if he voted the right way and took the right stand (not to mention that it would have simply been the right thing to do).

Squandered.
