For the 1st time I am proud of the entire AZ Cong Delegation! ALL voted NO!

[saracat]

From the most Liberal members of our Delegation Raul Grijalja to the most staunch consevative Shadegg all united to vote no on the bailout! It may not be true bipartisanship as I am sure they had completely different reasons for doing so but unite they did and it proves it can be done. I now only pray a better plan emerges.

1. You are proud that they voted for 20% unemployment and a Great Depression II?

Wow.

[RaleighNCDUer]

7. That would be 20% unemployment and a Great Depression II

WITHOUT the added burden of 700 billion more borrowed dollars (if we could find anyone to borrow from; otherwise, it's just PRINTING 700 billion dollars backed by vapor).

Which do you prefer - a Great Depression or the Greatest Depression?

8. The bail-out as constructed would have done NOTHING to

prevent a depression. At best it stood a teeny weeny chance of delaying a systemic collapse of the financial system (which is not, by the way, the same thing as "the economy"), but it could not have prevented the inevitable and would mostly likely have made the inevitable collapse even worse.


Even though the U.S. economy has morphed away from real goods and services and into a financial ("FIRE") economy that serves to funnel wealth into the hands of the lucky few, the actual fundamentals of the real economy remain sound. Those fundamentals aren't being utilized effectively or efficiently right now. They can't be as long as funds are being sucked OUT of the economy and deposited directly into the gaping maw of the already over-stuffed. Cramming more down the gullets of the gluttons will not fix the real economy at all.

2. Me too! Me too!

13. Thank you, thank you! You get it , Many don't! It is really sad how many don't get this. Sigh,

[GetTheRightVote]

3. I am happy for you, I wish I could say the same of my own state.

:)

[KamaAina]

4. That would be the bailout that AZ's own John McLoser had to rush back to DC to fix?

thereby putting the debate in jeopardy?!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[liberalpress]

5. You're proud that your employer who likely

borrows against securities to pay you won't be able to write you a check?

[Zynx]

6. And you shouldn't have the right to vote.

[Tansy_Gold]

10. Anyone who says a fellow DUer should not have the right to vote

should not have the right to post on DU.

I have NEVER been as angry with a post as I am with this one. NEVER.

[saracat]

14. Me, too!

[alstephenson]

12. Huh???

WTF do you mean by that???

[Cleita]

9. This bill was seen by economist Ravi Batry as a ploy to bolster

McCain's campaign up to the election. He said it would fail beyond that. I'm glad Arizonans saw it for what it was because who would know Senator McCain better than those in his state. IMHO.

11. So what! Fuck all of them but the dems! BOB LORD FOR CONGRESS! Run Shady out on a rail!
