Politics we can all agree on. I think.
Now that the bailout bill has passed, I think it is a prime example of the problems with Washington. What started out as a three page document focusing only on the problem at hand has swelled to 451 pages in its final format. This new bill is filled with pork and other items that may seem important to each side, but jeepers creepers why the heck cant they stay focused.
With all of the talk about pork in the campaigns, this could have been a great time for either candidate to point out exactly how corrupt the process is. I dont understand why any bill has to be loaded with superfluos items.
This is what really makes me sick.
Here is a link to the entire bill:

For example:
1. There a renewable energy tax credits in this bill. Although some may view this as a good thing on its own, it has nothing to do with AIG or Wall Street.
2.There are provisons in it for mental health insurance coverage.
3. There are provisions for tax credits for energy efficient appliances.
and more, and more and more.

#1 I am not and
#2 I don't want to be
But I still don't support this bailout which goes against a key Republican principle. Gee, we really taught all those banks and lending institutions a lesson didn't we? I bet they'll never do that again. The fact is they were counting on this and knew that Congress would cave in and bail them out. Whatever happened to capitalism. Let them fall flat on their faces! Utter ridiculousness. Instead of using that money for a bailout, let's take a fraction of that money and put it towards something else that creates jobs, like the Eisenhower freeway did.
What a joke.

Just shows how deep the creative corruption flows in Washington D.C.
In fact, I didn't even read one word of the document.
