Is This a Good Thing or a Bad Thing?

The House of Representatives, gave a bi-partisan middle finger to the Bush administration and rejected the $700 billion dollar bailout of Wall Street.

I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. On the one hand, why are you and I, personally you, I and everyone you know, expected to pay for Wall Street’s greed and dishonesty? They take our money, gamble with our futures and then run off in the sunset with enormous bonuses essentially for theft.

However, they have all of the money, and if they fall, what will happen?

I’ve found myself being swayed by the Bush White House twice before. The first was right after September 11th when they declared war in Afghanistan. We were all in shock after the attacks, and wanted justice to be served.

The second time was when our president, the leader of our country, lied to us and told us that Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11 and was acquiring some scary weapons to attack us again.

Both were bullshit. Every time Bush goes on TV and urges us to do something, it is always a lie. Every time. Can you name just one initiative that you agree with? Other than perhaps moving Daylight Savings Time up a bit? They have done nothing but lie to and manipulate us, and therefore I don’t believe a word he says.

Even where there may be a grain of truth to it.

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
