Utter Stupidity
I've said before, I was no big fan of the bailout which was forced on us by the incompetence of the Bush Administration.
But now, incompetence is the least of our problems.
Instead of incompetence, we've gotten childish behavior on a grand scale. The House voted down the bill, with Republicans voting 2 to 1 against.
After the vote was completed, the minority leader of the House, John Boehner, came out and said that about a dozen Republican congressmen would have voted for it except that Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke to the House and wasn't nice enough.
So basically, they picked up the country's economy and tossed it in the garbage because their feelings were hurt.
So, the Democrats taunted the Republicans (a poor sportsmanlike action on the front-end) and the Republicans went wee, wee, wee all the way home.
A pox on both their houses. I cannot see any better reason to completely change the atmosphere in Washington.
