The Democrats have a overwhelming majority in the House and a majority in the Senate, which means that they can pass ANY bill they want to... So why are they bitching and complaining that no Republicans in Congress are supporting this bailout package of 850 Billion (thats right, billion) dollars. They are asking for support of a spending package that goes against the financially conservative way of thinking, so the GOP congresspeople wont vote for it. It's like asking PETA to vote on a law legalizing the clubbing of baby seals because it helps the economy of Iceland.
The only conclusion I can draw is that the Democrats KNOW this "bailout" wont work and just puts us further down the track towards a depression, and they need the Republicans help so the blame wont be solely placed on the left side of the isle. If they were actually confident that this "bailout" package would work, they would not be complaining and want to take all the credit for its passing and success. The GOP is actually playing it smart for a change, by letting the democrats pass their bills and watch them fail. then when the mid term elections come they can overtake Congress again. It is a vicious cycle that will never be broken because politicians on both sides are more concerned with filling their pockets than really helping the country. If you want to see how completely full of shit these guys are, go back and think about all the "promises" made by the last 5 Presidents and how many of them actually came to fruition.
The fact of the matter is, there is no amount of "money" (and I put money in parentheses because the money is not there, nor will it ever be, which is why we are in a state of inflation) that will get the economy back going again, it will require tax cuts to everyone, stability of Interest rates, and bank leniency with bad loans to get the economy moving again. Frivolously spending money and nationalizing institutions such as banks will only harm our economy and put us on the way towards socialism as a way of life, where there is a glass ceiling, and emphasis is placed on being mediocre and not striving to be better than everyone around you, which, by the way, is what makes this country great. The fact that if you bust your ass, you can make something of yourself. Go ahead, Ask Cuba, North Korea, France, England, Canada, Venezuela, and Iceland how socialism works for them and then ask yourself, why do you rarely if ever hear of an american going to a country with socialized medicine for Surgery, but how many foreigners come over here to get a crack at OUR doctors and surgeons. our system may suck and leave out a few people here and there, but its better than what they got elsewhere in the world.
