Again the American people have not been heard , the Majority of Americans said NO to the bailout , I regret voting for people who do not listen.

Anyone with any imagination, sense of history, and guts would have stood up and pushed back with a proposal to put the money into reviving the two best New Deal programs – the WPA and the CCC.

Let the money go where it is most needed, will produce the most results, and benefit the most people.
Instead, we’re going ever deeper into hock in order to prop up the individual retirement accounts of
the ever-dwindling portion of our population looking forward to retiring on investment income.

Everyone wants to be royalty. If no one takes care of the serfs, there won’t be much room for royalty,
will there?

Once again, I am enormously disappointed with Mr. Ellison.

A hard vote, but the right one. Well done, Rep. Ellison. We sent you to Congress to be more than a poll taker. We need your ability to balance competing demands and claims. I hate the bailout, in whatever form, but when someone with the integrity of Warren Buffet calls the crisis an economic “Pearl Harbor” it’s time to move.
