Bailout The American Government: We Bailed Out The Banks

[BeFree]

We can surely vote to bailout our own government, right?

Less than 3 years ago, congress voted to bailout the banks. $16 Trillion dollars worth of bailout.

Is the US government is worth less than the banks? Sure seems the congress thinks so.

1. That bailout, "QE2", was managed in secret by the Federal Reserve. The Fed can do it again.

There's no need for the President to invoke the 14th Amendment. The Fed is an independent body not under the control of either the Exec. or the Legislative branch. This sort of political/economic crisis is exactly what the Fed was set up to deal with and to continue funding the U.S. Gov't and the nation's essential economic institutions.

All this brouhaha is just theater meant to entertain and distract us?
And Obama is just playing his part and in the end Ob and Bener will sit down & have a good laugh?

We're just being had? You mean all these people wringing their hands are being played for fools?

Do hereby claim and declare to the lord gawd our dollar
