US Bailout package and the bribes (pork) that has been added

posted on Oct 03, 2008 08:37AM

The US is on the brink of financial system collapse and it looks like 100B in so called "sweeteners" were added to the bailout plan in order to buy some additional votes needed to pass the bill.

From an outsiders perspective (I AM Canadian), I wonder where the moral compass on the senators and some house legislators resides? The financial aspects of the bailout plan should have been enough. To see some of these additional inclusions added makes me sick. What do wooden arrows have to do when hundreds of billions of dollars in equity are being lost each day in the market?

It's no wonder the average person on the street is disillusioned with government.

Get the crisis sorted based on the recommendations of the Financial Working Group and keep the rest of opportunism (pork) for a better day.
