RSSHastings refuses to budge, votes no on bailout
Yakima Herald-Republic
What an outrage our government has committed on it's people! This is one decision you have made correctly on this Doc. Now, we have to find a way to get these incompetent fools out of office before they ruin the country completely. All we just did was print an additional 800 Billion new dollars to add to the already over-inflated money supply, while true gangsters got off the hook for nothing.I am sick and tired of our government ignoring the people.
Report ViolationAmen! The taxpayers should not be bailing out a company the ended up in this fix due to backdoor dealings and assinine government policies in the first place. The more I learn about why all this happpened the more I know that these banks got what they deserved. This was not failed capitalism, this was failed greed.
Report ViolationIt just amasses me that Doc would fail to bail out Americans, but hey he is willing to cost Americas Trillion in dollars in the Iraq War and guess who is paying and going to pay?

Thanks Doc for standing up for the people on this. The concluding statement at the end represents my beliefs as well. The "sweeteners" as the pundits have called the earmark pork-barrel spending, could have been in another bill.
Report ViolationThe American taxpayer has not only footed this bailout, but with the Federal Reserve also giving out another 630 Billion dollars, we're going to see the value of our dollar decrease even more.
