The BAILOUT/PORK package has passed. Suddenly a NEW refrain is echoing through the marble halls of leadership: "we might not feel anything fuzzy and nice for some time". HA! Wasn't the massive size of this fiscal manuever supposed to cause instant reverberations of relief. Keep an eye out for the sharing of a story that the "transparency" of it all is awfully complex and as such has more or less been abandoned....We'll never see that money again. GUARANTEED.
Some of these folks on the lists below may still deserve a job. SOME! At the least, any who ignored your voice should BEG on their knees before you excuse them. These employees have ONE PRIMARY DUTY AND RESPONSIBILITY: REPRESENT YOU! Failure to respect your wishes is ABSOLUTELY reason to give them a sound kick in the butt out the door.
Below are the Senate votes and House votes of the passed BAILOUT/PORK package. That it passed once the proposal increased in cost and clutter is a true testament to the chaos of leadership we are suffering.
The House votes are troublesome; you cannot look at the "Nay" (against) column and assume they did had the courage to ask for better legislation. MANY votes were withheld till the measure passed, THEN the cowards did whatever they felt would look best on their record. Unless there is some access somewhere to the names and TIMES of votes - the record can be an illusion of courage. At least they didn't vote "yes" outright.
