"We are debating a [bill] today because we did not complete the appropriations process, [but] believe me, it was not for lack of effort," said House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer, Maryland Democrat. That's right! The Democrats are ardent in their efforts to do nothing. And, the success they have had! Sen. Tom Daschle would be proud.

Please do not bailout these crooks without accountability! The officers of these failed institutions are guilty of fraud and should have to plead guilty to a felony in court and have all their assets seized and give up their pensions and golden parachutes and serve 5 years of (probation paid for by the crook) probation. These crooks filed false documents with the SEC and investors and the state of Indiana. Their annual reports were all lies and they betrayed America. They are evil the same as Osamma Bin Ladin and should be treated like traitors and enemy combatants. These crooks at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac left us taxpayers with a $5 TRILLION liability and Bush just added a $14 TRILLION liability with the bailout of Lehman and AIG. Now Bush wants to add a $62 TRILLION liability with this new bailout plan. Reference www.digitaljournal.com/article/260144 titled $62 TRILLION in securities market looks nervous. The whole global economy is failing because President Bush and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and majority leader senator Harry Reed failed to do their jobs of oversight. This can be corrected if accountability is forced on these crooks. They better pray I never have the authority to go after these crooks because I would send them to Guantanamo for aggressive interrogation and daily waterboarding.

Hmm, giving money to people who got us into this mess. Sounds like a bad idea.
