"With the economic in turmoil, is political expediency really what the American people expect from their leaders in Washington?"
-House Minority Leaders John Boehner
Minority Leader Boehner also went on to say that liberals "calling the shots on Capitol Hill instead are more concerned with shielding themselves politically, resisting necessary hearings that would lead to long-overdue reform, and cheating the American people of quick access to facts about the misdeeds of those who ran Fannie and Freddie."
It's becoming painfully apparent that some Members of Congress, with re-election looming in 30 days, are more concerned about being seen to do something to cover their rears than actually doing something about our nation's economic woes.
Look at it this way:
Last week Congress passed a $700 billion measure that Senator John McCain called a "tourniquet to stop the bleeding" and President Bush called a "first step."
Since then... NOTHING.
On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial average fell another 508 points, Blue Chips have dropped over 1400 points in a week and the market has fallen over 33 percent from its high of 14,164.53 over the last 12 months.
To take McCain's "tourniquet" analogy a step further; if you went to an Emergency Room and the attending physician applied a tourniquet to your hemorrhaging wound and then simply went home, would you be angry?
You bet you would.
What if the physician in question was the very person who inflicted the wound upon you in the first place? Would you call his lack of substantive action malpractice?
You bet you would.
And yet, that's EXACTLY what some Members of Congress are trying to do!
At best, they applied a band-aid to a hemorrhaging wound before going home to get reelected! It was more important to be seen doing something than to actually solve the problems -- problems THEY CAUSED -- that got us in this economic mess. The unmitigated gall should make your blood boil!
It's up to us to let them know they can't get away with it and it's up to us to send them that message right now!

Nancy Pelosi (the most heinous person to ever grace the U.S. government, IMO [even worse than Coolidge]) held congress under Martial Law for the bailout bill.
I would not be sad if she Ariel Sharon'd her way out of politics. |
