Kill the bailout: Newt Gingrich gets on board
I said it yesterday.
Newt Gingrich said it today.
Hans Bader sums it up succinctly: The Bush/Paulson bailout is “Inflationary, Unnecessary, and Unconstitutional.”
Yes, it’s time for ideological purity.
Kill it.

Commenter b-cat: “This is good. Now that he’s not on a couch holding hands with Nancy Pelosi. Glad to have him back.”
For now, anyway.

Called my congressman, knowing he will likely vote for it. I just asked him to make sure the bill is READ FIRST. This same knee-jerk reaction – kicking us where it hurts – is the same kind of crap that brought on the Patriot Act.
Every time Washington jerks, I get a knee in the b***s.
This ‘bail out’ is wholly UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!! STOP THE MADNESS!!!!
There are ways to achieve the same effect without undermining capitalism and the American way of life!
NO BAIL OUT! We’re Americans! We can deal with this! WE DO NOT WANT SOCIALISM!
By the way, people, this isn’t socialism – it’s FASCISM. Check the definition.
I WANT MY STOCKS TO MAKE ME MONEY!!!
I want the bailout if it means I will make more money!
If it will make more money… I WANT TO TALK ABOUT ME, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT I, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT NUMBER ONE, OH ME OH MY, then I want the bailout!!!!!!
Dear President Bush,
You were not my first choice for President in the 2000 elections. But once chosen as the Republican candidate (and seeing your opposition), I supported you. I voted for you once again (even bought into the “compassionate conservative”). I spent many hours defending you in conversations and arguments with friends…but no more. This crap you are shoving down our throats is unheralded, un-American, and despicable.
I understand economics, the market, and proper investments. What we really have here is criminal looting of the American people that makes Enron look like stealing penny candy from the five and dime.
The only way I would even consider giving any money at all to this fiasco is if those who caused it find themselves in jail. That includes the CEOs, CFOs, and the government regulators that looked the other way. If a few members of Congress went as well, that’s ok as well.
Your long-term legacy may be intact without these actions, but that is for history to judge. Slightly less than half of the American population can not stand you for a number of reasons (some of them are actually valid). You are currently losing the other half. Don’t you care about America?
Add my name to this NO BAIL-OUT DECLARATION!!
You want to spread democracy? Hear the people, President Bush!
