RE: $700 Billion In Corporate
Give-Aways Was A Bad Idea. It's Time To Move On!
Bailout mania has hit the United State and no end
appears to be in sight. Initially, the American
people were told that without an injection of $700
billion of our hard-earned tax dollars, the economy
would suffer, and Congress, over the initial
objections of the American people, passed a massive
$700 billion wealth re-distribution program.
The legendary figure Robin Hood stole from the rich
and gave to the poor. Ironically, Uncle Sam is
taking money from the American taxpayer and giving
it to large mega-corporations. And now, after giving
away $350 billion of the $700 billion, everyone
wants to get a piece of the action and our economic
problems continue.
Let's stop this madness. Is it possibly time to
admit that the $700 billion was a bad idea and give
up the ghost! I urge you to block the Treasury
Department from spending the remaining $350 billion
of the $700 billion, go back to the drawing board,
come up with some viable solutions to help people nd
our struggling economy. And, those viable solutions
should be steered by the free market, not government
handouts of our taxpayer money.
Sincerely,
Your
Signature Will Be Recreated Here

Can anything be done to stop these politicians from
handing your hard-earned money over to fat-cat corporations?
The legendary figure Robin Hood stole from the rich and
gave to the poor.
Ironically, Uncle Sam seems to be doing the
reverse.
First they told us that without an immediate injection of $700
billion of our hard-earned tax dollars, the economy would go into a tail-spin!
Then Congress, ignoring the objections of the American people, passed a
massive $700 billion wealth re-distribution BAILOUT program.
And NOW - after giving away $350 billion of the $700 billion - the
economy is still hurting, the so-called credit crunch has not been reversed as
banks are still not lending, and you and I are sufferring.
But to make matters worse...
Now every fat-cat corporation and Big Labor want a piece
of the action.
The big three automakers came to Washington, hat-in-hand, and
thankfully, conservatives in the Senate, finally said "No."
But the Administration said "yes... we'll accommodate"
and they're using your $700 billion.
When is the madness going to stop? Who’s next to pick the pockets of
hard-working American taxpayers?
Is it possibly time to admit that the $700 billion
was a bad idea?
Is it time to give up the ghost and go back to the
drawing board?
Is it possibly time, finally, to try some free market solutions to our problems
and give Capitalism a shot?

What Should We Do With The Remaining $350 Billion?
For starters, it SHOULD NOT get spent until we come up with a better
solution to our problems and admittedly, some creative thinking is in order.
As an example, Congressman Louie Gohmert of Texas,
is calling for a two-month federal tax
holiday.
It works something like this:
Since the federal government collects
approximately $167 billion per month in taxes and entitlements, the remaining
$350 billion can be used instead to cover two months of tax revenues and
taxpayers could reap the benefits of a two-month tax holiday.
Imagine that!
The American people would pay ZERO in federal income and FICA
taxes for a full two months.
Typically, any form of income
redistribution is a bad idea.
But since Congress has already given
the Treasury Department a blank check... the money HAS TO GO SOMEWHERE... it may
has well go back to the taxpayers.
And who knows?
What would happen if people actually saw the money the
federal government withholds from their paychecks for two months and then the
government started taking it back again?
Taxpayer Revolt?

Who Is To Blame?
The answer is Congress.
More specifically, liberals on both sides of the aisle.
Instituting more of the problem is NOT the
solution!
And yet, it is this same Big-Government Gang that is calling today for
yet more government intrusions into our already battered free-market.
Here’s how it went down the first time.
In 1977 - with liberal Democrats in control of Congress and Jimmy Carter in the
White House – the federal government instituted the Community Reinvestment Act
(CRA) to encourage low-income folks to buy houses.
With this well-intentioned legislation, the stage
was set for catastrophe.
Then, in 1995, President Bill Clinton - with the help of liberals in Congress -
gave CRA some real teeth and added massive new provisions that forced banks to
issue $1 trillion dollars in bad loans!
Didn’t anyone see the looming economic disaster?
Sure, plenty of folks sounded the alarm!
Among them... Howard Husock of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
Many years ago, he predicted the current crisis in an article: entitled
"The Trillion-Dollar Bank Shakedown That Bodes Ill for
Cities."
Yes... the Big Government crowd knew the consequences of such policies and
messed with the Free Market anyway.
And to add insult to injury, they want to mess with the Free Market
YET AGAIN.
If we let them, we could end up a nation of bicycle riders on
the fast track to Scandinavian socialism.

Are We Simply Funding A Radical Agenda?
But it wasn’t just Big Government that Husock warned against. He also
predicted that the radical Left would drive the lending industry to the brink of
bankruptcy.
Among other things, he deplored the empowerment
of radical ideologues.
Case in point, ACORN (you remember them), literally extorted lenders into
making billions in questionable loans.
Here’s what Husock wrote about that:
"Crucially, the new CRA regulations also instructed
bank examiners to take into account how well banks responded to complaints…
[F]or advocacy groups that were in the complaint business, the Clinton
administration regulations offered a formal invitation. The National Community
Reinvestment Coalition, a foundation-funded umbrella group for community
activist groups that profit from the CRA, issued a clarion call to its members
in a leaflet entitled 'The New CRA Regulations: How Community Groups Can Get
Involved.' 'Timely comments,' the NCRC observed with a certain understatement,
'can have a strong influence on a bank's CRA rating.'"
In other words, here’s how it works:
The government offers a new source of funding for banks. But in order to tap
this source, they have to please far-left organizations like
ACORN, whose job it is to promote revolution. These organizations push
the banks to fund every loan applicant who walks through the door. If the banks
don’t capitulate, the organizations tattle to the examiners. And Presto! No more
CRA funds!
Husock again:
"'To avoid the possibility of a denied or delayed
application,' advises the NCRC in its deadpan tone, 'lending institutions have
an incentive to make formal agreements with community organizations.' By
intervening, even just threatening to intervene, in the CRA review process,
left-wing nonprofit groups have been able to gain control over eye-popping pools
of bank capital, which they in turn parcel out to individual low-income mortgage
seekers. A radical group called ACORN Housing has a $760 million commitment from
the Bank of New York; the Boston-based Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of
America has a $3-billion agreement with the Bank of America; a coalition of
groups headed by New Jersey Citizen Action has a five-year, $13-billion
agreement with First Union Corporation. Similar deals operate in almost every
major U.S. city. Observes Tom Callahan, executive director of the Massachusetts
Affordable Housing Alliance, which has $220 million in bank mortgage money to
parcel out, "CRA is the backbone of everything we do."
So, who is at fault?

Who Sold Out America?
Congress sold out America to the radical Left.
Liberals in Congress forced financial institutions to make bad loans and fund
radical organizations like
ACORN, groups dedicated to the destruction of our free enterprise system.
A liberal Congress empowered Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy those bad
loans. In fact, for a while, the more loans Fannie and Freddie bought, the more
money they made.
So Fannie and Freddie leaned on financial institutions to make even more
bad loans.
Lenders in turn – with the Free Market hopelessly compromised - engaged in risky
speculation. And liberals in Congress - pockets stuffed with contributions from
nervous lending institutions - turned a blind eye.
It was a sweet gravy train while it lasted.
Then, when the bubble burst, critics of this subversive deal said
“I told you so!”
Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey:
"It was not the free market, but a government-distorted
market that caused this. It was politicians, fat cat corrupt CEOs and special
interest lobbyists for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other firms that created the
perfect storm that led to the housing market collapse."
Economist Thomas Sowell agreed:
"Among the Congressional 'leaders' invited to the White
House to devise a... 'solution' are the very people who have for years created
the risks that have now come home to roost."
Former Congressman Bob Barr puts it even more
plainly:
"Congress needs to get out of the way."
But they won’t, will they?
Look at it this way:
If a surgeon removed one of your kidneys by mistake, would you let him operate
on your other kidney?
Our economy is now functioning on one kidney – and here comes Congress with a
rusty scalpel.
Only the American people can prevent this
continued suicide.
