Frustration

[4thstreetbully]

Long time reader, first time poster. Just wanted to share my recent response to Senator Boxer. Anyone got any constructive outlets left? I’m ready to fight. I also wanted some kind of public record in case I wind up in Guantanamo Bay.

Senator Boxer,

I have never directly reached out to a government representative before contacting you about the bailout last week. I’ve just never felt this strongly about anything.

I’ve always considered myself a true “patriot” in some sense. I’ve never fought directly for my country (but my grandfather did). I’ve always believed in the “idea of America” and flown our flag proudly. I’ve worked hard, paid taxes, saved money, and avoided this real estate bubble while others foolishly jumped in. I honestly believed that doing the right thing would eventually be rewarded.

I’ve taken the high road and presented numerous intelligent arguments as to why this bailout is so wrong. At this point I feel like I’m out of options, and I’m heartbroken, so how about this:

Fuck you.

I hope one of your kids gets raped by a gorilla with aids.

Dear Mr. Campbell:

Thank you for contacting me regarding the financial rescue legislation (H.R.1424). I appreciate hearing from you on this critical issue.

The fundamentals of our economy have been shaken, and Americans are deeply concerned. When Secretary Paulson and Chairman Bernanke placed an urgent phone call a few weeks ago to Congress to say we needed emergency action to prevent a major financial meltdown, I expected they would come forward with a plan that was targeted and reasonable, with appropriate oversight and taxpayer protections.

Unfortunately, what they brought us was a $700 billion blank check, which they asked us to sign with no questions asked. This plan contained no oversight, no taxpayer equity, and no control over CEO pay. I strongly opposed this proposal – and thanks to your phone calls, e-mails, and letters, Congress stopped it in its tracks.

The Senate made major improvements designed to strengthen our economy and protect our taxpayers. Instead of a blank check, the Senate plan included significant Congressional oversight, equity for taxpayers, curbs on executive compensation, an increase in FDIC insurance protection for bank depositors, middle-class tax relief, and job-creating tax incentives for renewable energy. The bill passed the Senate by an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote of 74-25 and the House by a vote of 263-171.

These were very important changes. But let me be honest: There were still aspects of this package that I didn’t like. I preferred the government acquiring more equity instead of toxic assets. I wanted the package to be put forward in smaller installments and to include more checks and balances to make sure it would work.

For me, the deciding factor in my Yes vote was information I received from the State of California. I was told by the Treasurer’s office that without access to credit, which is the goal of this legislation, California wouldn’t be able to sell voter-approved highway, school, and water bonds that are desperately needed for our economy and the creation of good-paying new jobs. In addition, I was told by the Governor’s office, that without action, our state might be forced to withhold funds for law enforcement, schools, and other needed services. This would bring our state to its knees and many middle-class families would be in deep trouble. Small businesses are beginning to tell me they cannot get lines of credit to meet payroll, as well.

Rest assured, I will continue to speak out forcefully about the failures that led us to this place and keep working with my colleagues to strengthen confidence in our markets, protect the American taxpayers, and enact regulatory reform to ensure that we don’t end up in this mess again.

Again, thank you for writing to me about this very important matter. Even though you may feel frustrated with the outcome of the legislation that passed, your voice absolutely resulted in the enactment of a better bill. Feel free to contact me again about any issue of importance to you.

Barbara Boxer
United States Senator

How can anyone be shocked. I have been waiting for this for over 6 months.

“1. People keep wondering why banks don’t just drop the price and sell the foreclosures. THEY CANT. Banks do not have the capital to take these loses onto their books as they would become totally insolvent. The government will ultimately step in and physically take these foreclosures off their sheets for them at the expense of the taxpayers. It is the only option I can foresee coming in the future. This is not new as they did the same in the 90’s with fewer amounts of foreclosed homes.”

Ever notice how it isnt there fault? Bush and Paulson proposed the thing. Arnold and the CA congress needed it, and police, teachers, and small buisnesses would have been hurt if they hadnt. It wasnt her fault that it passed, she didnt have a choice. Please remember that she understands you next time you vote.
” I didnt WANT to rob the voters, I didnt have a choice!”

BTW what equity does she mean? The BS morgages that have little to no value? I thought we got those no matter what.
