If you want to recover from an economic meltdown, you don’t send hundreds of billions of dollars to the banks that caused it. You don’t spend it paving highways and buying used cars. You don’t shield the Fed from accountability. And you don’t call it “The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.” It wasn’t an act. It was an outrage. 

Congress and the Administration ignored the American people, wasted $1 trillion on a failed “Stimulus Package”, and quadrupled the federal deficit in 1 year. Then they blamed the last Administration for the bailout debacle while using the remaining monies as a political slush fund. 

(The people elected Republican governors in Virginia and New Jersey.) 

They ignored us again, seeking to nationalize our health care system with obscene bribes in the Senate and sweetheart deals for special interests. They tried to hand the tab to ordinary Americans and small businesses, blamed Republicans as “the party of No”, locked them out of the legislative process, jokingly broke their campaign promises of “transparency”, and prohibited media coverage of the process. 

(The people elected Scott Brown, an independent-minded Republican, to the US Senate seat formerly held by Kennedy democrats for decades.)
