That is exactly the problem. All parties have basically agreed on an agreement – Senate Democrats, Senate Republicans, The White House and House Democrats. The ones not on board? House Republicans. Then to show how little they understand the economy, or how little they care about the American people, we have this little gem:
According to one GOP lawmaker, some House Republicans are saying privately that they’d rather “let the markets crash” than sign on to a massive bailout.
So everyone in America with a 401k would end up being screwed over also. How many retired people out there would end up having to find work because of this? How many people nearing retirement would have to work longer?
Fuck you America – signed the Republicans.
You know what this reminds me of? A party divided. Apparently that can only be used to describe Democrats though. A divided Republican Party also seems to be exactly what is emerging:
Senior House Democrats slammed McCain and House GOP leaders for the breakdown in the discussions, claiming that they are pushing a proposal that Paulson and the White House have already rejected.
It really sounds like the House Republicans are playing politics on this. They know that they are in a losing battle this year, so now they will hijack this entire country. And everyone can thank John Boehner for this, along with John McCain. Both of them proving how little respect they have for you and me.
