The bailout bill did not pass the House. Both Barack Obama and John McCain grudgingly supported the bill. Democratic and Republican Congressional leaders supported the bill, along with that madman in the White House. Yet a significant number of both Democrats and Republicans voted against the bill (but mostly Republicans). In the video below, a Republican explains that this is what we get because Nancy Pelosi was mean.
Yes, we have a dysfunctional government.
And the cable news channels are still telling us that without this bill we're all going to die. Or unless a bailout happens, jobs and homes will be lost. ATMs will die. The Great Depression II is coming. Or so they say. Visions of a nation-wide Katrina are in my head.
Tell me again, why everyone is not voting for The Other Party?
