NO TO BAILOUT

Thursday, September 25, 2008

I've emailed Senators Hutchison and Cornyn and Representative Ortiz on my opposition to the enormous, unprecedented, likely ineffective bank bailout plan; have you?

It's very easy. Go to: www.congress.org. Put in your zip code and your officials will come up. Select one and go to "web form." The position "oppose bailout" is already there, and you can add whatever message you want. Many eminent economists are against this plan and are urging extreme caution. It appears that Congress may be listening to them and to us. This may be one of the few times you can actually make a difference.

I don't know what else to say other than to take a page from local blogger El Rocinante's playbook:

NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!NO BAILOUT!
