All we see from a little working stiffs point of view is that everybody in New York’s Stock Exchange and the3 companies involved have not seen a lick of the suffering the average Joe is experiencing on the home front. We all are afraid we might lose our jobs any minute just like our friends, neighbors and relatives. The prices at the grocery store, the gas station, our insurance bills and utility bills are going up. The collectors have become more aggressive. The electric company, gas company, cable company and phone company will no longer hold over a balance past the due date – its shut off faster that you can blink an eye. I can’t even go into the credit card stuff and I’m very conservative with those. Its really despair and dread all over the place. So one day there might be a return on the massive bailouts? I’ll be a roaring drunk by the time that happens. A martini or 2 after work has become the only thing that enables me to relax as I worry about what tommorrow holds and I know I’m not the only one. Suggestions for harder, but cheaper mind-numbing substances are welcome. But thanks LD for keeping us aware of this stuff. I don’t bother to watch the news anymore, not that it matters.

And that money is likely coming from the crap and tax bill. Al Gore has started a wall street exchange business for the bloviator’s crap and tax money…I don’t know details but you can google it.

I feel like this is part of the manufactured crisis to bankrupt the nation to create marshall law and government tyranny.
The crap and tax bill will invade our privacy and empty our wallets.
The inspector general who is supposed to oversee this money has no idea where the money went to and she doesn’t even know WHO knows where the money went to. Anyone want to take a guess? Yes I guess I’m beginning to get the true meaning of tax evading Timmy’s “stress test”. He’s stressing us alright.
Even the swine flu is manufactured because there are 3 strains not commonly found other than manufacturing it…yep…we knew the bloviating zero one would be a nightmare.
And now there’s evidence that he disses Hillary.
What a stupid, rotten man. Why does he need the best and the brightest when he doesn’t listen to their advice. Can we have our real president take the oval office now? She won fair and square.

Thanks for this info; I read the link. A 3:00 AM amendment with Rep. Kaptur’s name on it, and then, her yea vote for the bill, certainly gives the appearance of impropriety. Before this news, I truly believed she was one of the good ones.

That’s probably why net zero was giving her the “evil eye”. It was at the top of Drudge a day or so ago.

Slightly OT but it fits in

Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur gets $3.5 billion in taxpayer money

When House Democratic leaders were rounding up votes Friday for the massive climate-change bill, they paid special attention to their colleagues from Ohio who remained stubbornly undecided.
They finally secured the vote of one Ohioan, veteran Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Toledo, the old-fashioned way. They gave her what she wanted – a new federal power authority, similar to Washington state’s Bonneville Power Administration, stocked with up to $3.5 billion in taxpayer money available for lending to renewable energy and economic development projects in Ohio and other Midwestern states.
House Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry A. Waxman, California Democrat, included the Kaptur project in a 310-page amendment to the legislation unveiled at 3 a.m. Friday, just hours before the bill was to be debated on the House floor. The amendment was packed with other vote-getting provisions, both large and small, that had been sought by dozens of wavering Democrats.

I would like a LOT of transparency. I’m tired of hearing Obama people say we have to spend money to accomplish the Democratic goals. 1. This is not the time to be implementing a bunch of social programs that cost billions when the country is going bankrupt. 2. I object to the feds taking people’s hard-earned money and there is no way of knowing where our money goes. One thing we know, the politicians are never lacking funds for any extraneous thing they desire. And, the president’s (whether Bush or Obama) key constituency are being paid handsomely with tax dollars.

I never like Obama, but I’m getting seriously worried that every bill he pushes through will tax people who are working and give our money to the blocs of voters who voted for him. He doesn’t care about a good American society and economy, he only cares about staying in office–just like GWB.
