No Blank Checks

Take 15 minutes and read this -- best explanation of how we got in the mess we're in.

I've already written my congressman, senators and Reid and Pelosi to tell them not to give Hank Paulson a blank check (for $700 billion or more) without oversight and without protecting consumers.

And you know that if Democrats win in November and try to get health care or some other protection, the Republicans will scream that its socialism (but I guess socialism is OK for big businesses that make really bad decisions) and they will suddenly develop fiscal responsibility and wring their hands and say "but there just isn't any money for that."

Morons.
