I totally agree TBO. To clarify, the concept of citizens standing up to the excesses of what's happening, and what has been happening is what I agree with. The execution is very lacking. The fact that FOX is spinning and adopting the shit out of this thing is sad. This very well could be the sort of concept that people from BOTH sides of the aisle could agree with, but sadly, it didn't. We all want more responsible decisions. We all want less taxes.
I see your point about the TARP and how the representatives need to vote with their conscience - however, as someone who was very much against TARP, to see 10 to 1 ratio of people saying 'Please don't', then watching the thing pass in a hurry because Paulson said so...I'm pissed. The fact that they had no plan in place, the fact that they had no clue what it would really cost but that they 'picked a large number.' That's not representation. That's not how wise people make decisions. That's an entity that has near complete control over what they can bring in as far as money and spending it the way they see fit with no regard for the lives of the people paying for their overnight headless chicken decisions. The stimulus bill that no one read makes my god damn blood boil, so I'm not even going to go into it since it basically represents the very same governing arrogance as the TARP bill.
Party politics are only meant to fucking blind us, people dig their heels in for their 'guy' and completely fail to see the truth. This is a concept we should all be embracing.
