It's on C-span

I read that some of the confidence was put in play to Joe American due to the FDIC increase from $100k to $250k.

Are people really this f-ing stupid? How many average Americans have $100k, much less $250k in the bank? I'm going to guess damn near nobody. The increase only helps the corrupt bastards that started this mess.

Here's the kicker...

Tax relief for solar/wind projects was also approved.

My senators were split also. Dole is up for re-election. I'm sure it's the only reason she voted for it.

I've had very good luck phoning my congresscritters. I generally get through after a couple of rings and stay on hold for no more than a couple of minutes. I even got through on Obama's phone...

Kill the bill. Call your reps.

[hope_full]

I spent a not-insignificant amount of time today, calling and emailing the Senators (Webb and Warner) and posting things on internet boards and blogs and begging people to contact their senators.

I think this is pretty damn sneaky to try it in the house and then move it into the senate. TBS (toilet bowl scum) is a good description.

How *dare* they add $700 billion of debt to my taxes. I'm outraged beyond all words. I'm just too disgusted to even express my outrage. Un-frickin'-believable.

As to the FDIC limits, I agree that 99.5% of Americans have less than $100,000 cash in the bank. If these idiot senators really think that Americans care that the FDIC limits were raised, then they really are completely out of touch with the world.

I think this is a dark day for America. We've been sold into serfdom. We're bearing witness to one of the greatest wealth distribution schemes in the history of the world. They've robbed from the poor (and middle class) to give to the wealthy.

Shameful. Just shameful.
