The striking thing however is that, in this time of crisis, these criminals in congress have managed to grow the bill from its initial form by nearly 15,000%!!! Seriously! The went from a three page bill to a 451 page bill!!!! We are told that we are on the verge of a depression and these criminals are finding a way to repeal a 39 cent excise tax on wooden childrens arrows??? We have a crisis, and this is what these scumbags do?

UPDATE:

This just keeps getting better and better… If you thought you were already screwed by this, you’ll love this. And if you thought that this was a good idea, hopefully this will open your eyes and make you realize that you helped enable Pandora’s box of screw jobs.

Check this out… This criminal new this before the bill passed, but he is just now letting the cat out of the bag. Now you’ll understand why this was shoved down our throats.

“”Hundreds of billions of dollars are going to bail out FOREIGN INVESTORS. They know it, they demanded it, and the bill has been carefully written to make sure that can happen.” – Brad Sherman , D-California”

That’s right folks. You are going to have $700 billion – about 25% of the total federal budget – put on your personal credit card (via taxes forever) in order to bail out foreign investors. You getting that???

But wait! There’s more!

Oh, and the best part of it is that the underlying assets involved do not even have to be in the United States!

Here is the definition of a “troubled asset”, right from the bill:

“(9) TROUBLED ASSETS.—The term ‘‘troubled assets’’ means— (A) residential or commercial mortgages and any securities, obligations, or other instruments that are based on or related to such mortgages, that in each case was originated or issued on or before March 14, 2008, the purchase of which the Secretary determines promotes financial market stability;

and (B) any other financial instrument that the Secretary, after consultation with the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, determines the purchase of which is necessary to promote financial market stability, but only upon transmittal of such determination, in writing, to the appropriate committees of Congress.”

Notice that conspicuously missing from the definition is the requirement that the asset’s underlying thing (that is, the property that was mortgaged, etc) lies within the United States. Also note that Treasury must tell Congress if they add “new types” of debt, but that Congress has no right of review or censure.

Starting to feel that burning sensation yet?

No? How about this?

YOU WILL WIND UP EATING $700 BILLION OR MORE – THIS IS A REVOLVING CREDIT LINE, NOT A MAXIMUM AMOUNT – OF FOREIGN BAD DEBT FROM THE CHINESE AND ELSEWHERE.

THAT’S RIGHT – THE PURPOSE OF THIS BILL IS TO SCREW YOU, THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER, BY OFFLOADING ALL OF THE TROUBLED DEBT AROUND THE WORLD ONTO YOUR HEADS!

How do you feel now? All of those payoffs that these criminal in Washington have been living off of are being paid back. This mixed economy that we have allowed to fester is now about to bite us in the collective ass. And these criminals in Washington just gave us the big finger up the backside, with no warning or lube.

If you are for this, congratulations, you’ve just screwed us, and your future generations.
