The House of (Credit) Cards comes tumbling down..

So, yesterday, the Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 was defeated in the house. Take heed though… this doesnt mean that they are giving up on it.  As evidenced here they are quickly looking to see how they can “fix” this bill to make it more appealing to not only the lawmakers but the public.  Guess what?  With a roughly 300 to 1 ratio of those against it to those for it I highly doubt ANYTHING that Bush, Pelosi, Paulson, Reid or the rest of the idiots in power can do will make this taste any better to the American people.

So now they get to play the blame game in Washington while the American public is still no better of than we were 24 hours ago.  Sure, we are off the hook, for now, for $700B but I guarantee you that our illustrious leaders will not rest until they have driven our economy into the ground.

Im saying this now, driving a stake in the ground, that you will see a backroom deal, probably done late at night along with a late night vote behind closed doors that will pass something to “rescue” us.  Is it really a rescue when you are thrown a lead sinker?

Lord help us all… we are going to need it.
