Congress protects Congress.

I forgot to mention in my last post an interesting statistic: "Altogether, 56 senators and representatives had large stakes in AIG, Lehman, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Bear Stearns Cos. or IndyMac Bancorp Inc."

OF COURSE THEY'RE GETTING BAILED OUT! OF COURSE CONGRESS WILL PASS MORE BAILOUTS!

9 lawmakers owned $1.8 million each in Merrill-Lynch.
John Kerry's wife owned 2+ million shares of AIG...
54 Congressmen had stock (ranging from $1.9-5 million) in Bank of America!
Rep. Jane Harman, the wealthiest Congressperson on Capitol Hill, lost $102,000 when Lehman went bankrupt.

THEY'RE NOT ACTING IN THE PEOPLE'S SELF INTEREST, THEY'RE ACTING IN THEIR OWN SELF INTEREST!!

Then again, what else is new.

Fact Check.
