Does ANYONE out there have a clue about why Paul Ryan voted FOR the "TARP Recipient Bonuses Act"? I tried to send him an email, but since I don't live in his district, the website blocked me. Tell me, is there something in the WATER in Washington????
If you live in his district, please give him an earful (or 'mail-ful', whichever is more convenient). Come to think of it, do BOTH!
At least we have ONE reasonable representative left in Jim Sensenbrenner.
As outraged as I am about the AIG bonuses in the wake of the bailout program, our 'leaders' are missing the point....
The problem is not the bonuses, the problem is the bailout. We have a number of ways to deal with these large, insolvent companies, including bankruptcy and receivership. These approaches have been around for a LONG time and have settled law that deals with contracts and other issues associated with a failing company.
Since a 'bailout' has virtually no rules associated with it, all sorts of 'unintended consequences' can result. We can't just jettison the Constitution and due process.....(ironic that libs want to give due process to enemy combatants on the battlefield, but not to law-abiding U.S. citizens).
Letting Congress selectively 'tax' citizens with no recourse is a BAD IDEA.
Check out Sensenbrenner's post on his website and send him your thanks. Send your raspberries to Paul Ryan here (if you live in his district).
