The Senate Bailout Vote

Now the Senate wants to try to slip this bailout past us. This "new" Senate plan still has a 700 billion dollar giveaway to Wall street, but now... (drum roll) it has all-new features to protect you and me!

For instance... they will increase the FDIC insurance coverage of your bank account money to $250,000! WOW! My 200 hundred bucks in the bank will be more than TWICE as safe!

More... It will provide a $5,000 TAX CREDIT so I can go buy my own health insurance! Or maybe my very own solar energy system! Maybe even my very own politician! Nah... $5,000 isn't nearly enough money to buy a politician.

Small print part... you have to owe the damned $5,000 before you get any credit for it, and just how many retirees like me pay $5,000/year in taxes?

What a scam. The sonsabitches refuse to give up... They'll just keep voting and voting until they finally get our money... Or we get them first.

I vote we get them first. Less than a month to election time. Vote out of office each and every one of the greedy bought-and-paid-for sleezeballs that votes for the bailout.

Send a real message to Washington.
