Ron Paul We Need You Now

Adam, I’m joining you buddy! I cannot vote for a man who says we need a 700 billion dollar bail-out plan (I’m sorry, and economic rescue plan) to save Wall Street and Washington from their own mistakes. I cannot vote for a man who campaigns on the issue of ending earmarks for bills and we end up with millions of dollars of earmarks.

John McCain could have won this election by standing up and saying how ridiculous this bill is. He could have told America what we really need to do to get back on track. Instead he listened to the party. He listened to the President. He listened to the people that got us into this mess in the first place, the whole time pointing their fingers at capitalism.

Why does a bill that is suppose to rescue our economy, because we spent too much money, need all of this stuff in it:

Section 309, tax credit for economic development in America, defined as American Samoa.

Section 503 gives tax breaks for the manufacturer of wooden arrows used in toys for children.
Price tag, $6 million

Section 325 provides essential tax breaks for the wool research fund.

Section 316, a tax break for railroad track maintenance.

Section 317, a tax break for racetracks.

Section 502, qualified television and film productions given an extension of favorable expensing rules.
Price tag, $10 million.

Section 111 provides for the expansion and modification of advanced coal project investment credits.

Section 112, expansion and modification of the coal gasification project.

Section 113, increased funding for black lung disability fund.

Not to mention the $119 million dollars going to Caribbean Rum makers. Really?! That NEEDS to be in this package?!

I am amazed at the sheer audacity of the Senate. Hopefully with more calls, faxes, and emails, we can encourage the House to be the voice of reason again.
