The Bill for All Seasons

Here are the claimed purposes for the bailout bill:
SEC. 2. PURPOSES.

The purposes of this Act are—

(1) to immediately provide authority and facilities that the Secretary of the Treasury can use to restore liquidity and stability to the financial system of the United States; and

(2) to ensure that such authority and such facilities are used in a manner that—

(A) protects home values, college funds, retirement accounts, and life savings;

(B) preserves homeownership and promotes jobs and economic growth;

(C) maximizes overall returns to the tax payers of the United States; and

(D) provides public accountability for the exercise of such authority.
Does anyone in the Senate or the House of Representatives actually believe any of that tripe?

Anybody who does believe any of that does not belong in Washington... they belong in Oz.

Maybe they think we will believe it...
