BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES have had their politicians dipping their hands into the "FIRE" handbag. Both parties are responsible for greatly contributing to where ths financial mess is right now.

When are the America People going to stand up and demand an end to the system once and for all that the politicians themselves created and kept refining with loopholes over the years to create more ways to keep the PAC and lobbist’s thriving and giving.

Hell, the one item what should be attached to this Financial Bailout plan is one final law that says no more cash nor gifts to the politicians.

Franken blows off taxes in 17 states until he was caught, then admits "an oversight". What an absolute pile of dung. This guy is an absolute scumbag, and his endorsement for Senator is a black eye for this state and the liberal party. How about reporting the real guilty parties of this disaster?
