Does anyone else think this sounds like a dictatorship just waiting to happen?

The bill Paulson has written contains this little gem:  "Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency."

Are you fucking kidding me?  He's wiping his ass with the constitution.

I honestly have a grave outlook for the United States.  Lucifer, Amy and I are gonna move in with you if that's alright.  :)

All I know is that, a lot of Americans are absolutely pissed about it, to a point it could spark civil unrest if the bill pass. Who could blame them? The bailout is a 'reverse robin hood' basically bailing out the very ultra-rich people who caused this economic disaster in sheer greed with average joe's money via taxes. basically this bailout is the equivalent of giving compensation to greedy gamblers who lost all their money in their own idiocy by stealing it from the hard working, and it also effectively nationalizes a part of the economy. Worse of all, without reviews or restrictions, the real question that should be asked is that, where else could this 'bailout' money end up funding or buying?

Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

Actually, I agree with that line in there. It is needed for the economic bailout to work.

And frankly, its the American peoples fault in the first place that we are here. They voted for this mess in the first place, and if McCain wins, they will be voting for it again.

I most certainly did not and assuredly will not. I am innocent and should not be blamed for this problem.

An observation: Remember the Economic Stimulus checks we all got? Isn't it kind of funny that they are effectively taking that back and then some? Republicans are immoral, selfish, greedy fucktards. :finger: 'em!

That just complicates things. I'd like to think we could fix things here, but maybe that is a pipe dream.
