Congress Arrogant and Dishonest on Bailout from Senator Jim Demint

This bailout bill is an affront to the US Constitution and any Senator who voted for it has contributed to our Country’s path toward Socialism.


DeMint Explains Opposition to $700-Billion Wall Street Bailout

Sen. DeMint speaks on the Senate floor about why he opposes the $700-billion bailout being pushed though Congress and who is really to blame for the financial fallout on Wall Street.

The Senate has porked up the bailout bill to exhort and bribe both Senators and House Representatives.

From Hotair:

However, the Senate did add a few winners to this new version:

New Tax earmarks in Bailout bill
- Film and Television Productions (Sec. 502)
- Wooden Arrows designed for use by children (Sec. 503)
- 6 page package of earmarks for litigants in the 1989 Exxon Valdez incident, Alaska (Sec. 504)

Tax earmark “extenders� in the bailout bill.
- Virgin Island and Puerto Rican Rum (Section 308)
- American Samoa (Sec. 309)
- Mine Rescue Teams (Sec. 310)
- Mine Safety Equipment (Sec. 311)
- Domestic Production Activities in Puerto Rico (Sec. 312)
- Indian Tribes (Sec. 314, 315)
- Railroads (Sec. 316)
- Auto Racing Tracks (317)
- District of Columbia (Sec. 322)
- Wool Research (Sec. 325)

There is still time to kill this atrocity of a bailout. Michelle Malkin has the contact numbers for all the Republican Representatives who voted no on the House bill, they need to hear from you to say no to this bailout!
