So we can spend 10 billion a month in Iraq, but a 25 billion loan to American car companies
is not fiscally responsible?

Give me a break, when did they suddenly become concerned about being fiscally responsible?

1. not to mention the 3 TRILLION we, the suckers, er. . taxpayers, are on the hook for between the
bailout, and the loans that paulson made without telling anyone.

and F*** that bs about not telling us who got the money, because "it might upset people" it is OUR money, and we have every right to know where each and every dime of it went, and is going.

3. Whether the bridge loan for the big three is right or wrong, it is a drop in the bucket
compared to the nonesense they have been doing to us as you already pointed out, and to perhaps buy a little time for the new administration to take over, what could it hurt?

2. Ask the Pelosi Traitor that question.
Had she allowed the world to impeach, we wouldn't be where we are today.

10. Trust me, it wasn't just the Congress.
It was the whole world backing this, begging for this.

6. It is really sad. Congress had no problem with the 750 billion unaccountable loan
to paulson, but trying to help American workers, what a disconnect
